When it comes to creating beautiful wedding cakes, the coating you choose can make all the difference. As a wedding cake designer, one of my favourite finishes to work with is white chocolate ganache. Not only does it create a flawless, sharp finish, but it also provides incredible stability, making it an excellent choice for wedding cakes throughout the year.

There are some wedding venues that leave a lasting impression, and Chelsea Physic Garden is certainly one of them. As a wedding cake designer, I'm fortunate enough to visit some of the most beautiful venues across London and the South East, but this was my very first time creating a wedding cake for a couple getting married at this remarkable West London location.

Few wedding venues in London can compete with the breathtaking beauty of Kew Gardens. Combining world-famous botanical gardens with elegant historic buildings, Kew offers couples the rare opportunity to celebrate surrounded by nature without leaving the city.

It might seem like a small detail in the grand scheme of wedding planning, but the timing of your cake delivery can make a big difference to how your cake looks, how it’s displayed, and how smoothly everything runs on the day.

As a wedding cake designer creating wedding cakes in London, Surrey and Buckinghamshire, I’ve delivered cakes to venues of all kinds — from grand country houses to outdoor marquees. Over time, I’ve found that the right delivery window ensures your cake looks beautiful, stays fresh, and is ready for those important moments like your cake cutting and photographs.

First of all — congratulations! 💍

Getting engaged is one of the most exciting moments in your life. It is such a beautiful season filled with celebrations, joy, questions from family members, endless screenshots from Pinterest, and suddenly… a hundred tabs open about weddings.

And while it can feel slightly overwhelming at first, I always remind couples of this: wedding planning should be enjoyable. It is not about ticking boxes perfectly or rushing decisions. It is about creating a day that feels like you both!

One of the questions I get asked time and time again by couples is, “When are we actually supposed to cut the wedding cake?”

The truth is, there is no strict rule anymore. Weddings have become far more personal, flexible and relaxed over the years, which means your cake cutting can happen whenever it works best for your timeline, your venue and the overall atmosphere you want to create throughout the day.

There are certain venues that don’t just host weddings—they elevate them into something timeless. Queen’s House in Greenwich is exactly that kind of place. Steeped in history, architectural elegance, and quietly breathtaking details, it offers couples an opportunity to celebrate their wedding day somewhere that feels both grand and deeply personal. Recently, we had the pleasure of taking part in a wedding showcase at this remarkable venue, where Bloom & Crumb’s floral-inspired cake design took centre stage—quite literally—at the foot of the iconic Tulip Stairs.

There are some wedding venues that instantly feel special the moment you walk through the door, and for me, Burgh House is absolutely one of them. Tucked away amongst the beautiful historic streets of Hampstead, this elegant Georgian house has such a calm, romantic atmosphere that it almost feels as though you’ve stepped into another era. Every time I arrive there with a Bloom and Crumb cake carefully boxed in the car, I genuinely get excited, because I already know the backdrop is going to make the cake — and the whole celebration — look incredible.
