IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TASTE I really want to wow our guests with our wedding cake flavour; what combinations work well for something different but that go down a treat! Gavin & Anita Puttick of Putty Cakes (www.puttycakes.co.uk) say: When it comes to creating a wedding cake flavour combination that’s unique yet universally loved, we recommend a few options that always make a statement: Champagne and white chocolate – This luxurious pairing combines the subtle elegance of champagne with the creamy sweetness of white chocolate, offering a refined and indulgent flavour that’s perfect for celebratory occasions. Lemon and elderflower – A light, refreshing combination with a subtle floral note, perfect for spring and summer weddings. The sweetness of elderflower pairs beautifully with tangy lemon sponge. Chocolate and orange – A rich, decadent pairing that blends the depth of dark chocolate with the brightness of orange, creating a crowd-pleasing, flavourful cake. Raspberry and white chocolate – A fruity yet indulgent combination. The sweetness of white chocolate balanced with the tang of raspberries creates a beautiful and flavourful cake that’s always a hit. Carrot cake with cream cheese icing – A comforting classic with rich, spiced flavours. Paired with a smooth cream cheese frosting, it offers a moist texture and depth that your guests will love. These combinations are not only delicious but also visually stunning, making them perfect for creating a cake that’s both a treat for the taste buds and the eyes! GORGEOUS GIFTING I’m looking for a gorgeous piece of jewellery to give my mother as a gift on the morning of my wedding. Are there any pieces you would recommend? Natasha House from F.Hinds (www.fhinds.co.uk) says: Pearls are often associated with purity, love, and wisdom, making them a meaningful and symbolic gift. For mum, on your big day, we think they’re a perfect choice. It will show the love you have for her and signify the years you’ve been by her side learning from her. At F. Hinds we stock some beautiful pearl jewellery. The 9ct white gold-enfolded freshwater cultured pearl pendant and chain is a popular choice. At the centre is an 8mm freshwater pearl enfolded by the curves of 9ct white gold, strung from a matching 18inch /45.5cm chain. This is timeless and can be worn on your wedding day and for years to come. 82
