BAKE MY CAKE - BEAUTIFUL BESPOKE WEDDING CAKES!

We are excited to have Emma of Bake My Cake back with us at the vintage fair as her designs and skills have to be seen (and tasted) to be appreciated! 

Emma admits that she was baking obsessed from an early age, baking all kinds of goodies, mostly sweet, from puddings to pastries. With a degree in Catering and Hospitality Management and further work as a commis chef through to a kitchen manager, Emma knew that food was where her heart was!

Emma became self taught in creating sugar flowers and these have become a bit of a trade mark on her cakes. They are incredible and so delicate that it's hard to believe they are not real sometimes! 

Emma can create beautiful dessert tables with cake pops, iced biscuits and cupcakes that will wow your guests and be a photographers dream to capture! She holds consultations at her kitchen studio where you can taste different flavours as well as gluten free options. 

Emma will sketch out the design for your wedding cake, working with your ideas, designs and budget. Your cake can be contemporary or traditional, grand or elegant, one flavour or different flavours on every tier. We are big fans!

Abbey House Gardens

Another vintage-style place we think you'll love is the beautiful, historic and unique Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury.

The 16th century house is full of history...

...and the gardens really have that wow factor.

When it comes to your wedding, Abbey House has six different areas licensed for civil ceremonies both inside and out, perfect whether you're a large group or after a smaller, more intimate wedding. Maybe you're after a winter wedding with roaring fires, candlelight and champagne or perhaps you'd prefer the manicured rose gardens in the height of summer... 

...or even the woodland area that hosts a river and a waterfall; all fantastic photo opportunities.

Recently they hosted an Alice in Wonderland Wedding Shoot with a Mad Hatters Tea Party in their magical gardens alongside vintage crockery and props, 'drink me' potions, playing card bunting as well as a fantastic oversized topiary cupcake!

For more information take a look at their website and gallery. They have some brilliant suppliers on board and we hope you love this place as much as we do.

(Thank you to Photographer Robert Leons for the beautiful photos)

Absolutely Cakes

Absolutely Cakes are scrumptious!  The cupcakes are spectacularly gorgeous with gooey secrets hidden inside and their wedding cakes are melt-in-the-mouth winners of several Great Taste Awards.  With each soft bite freshly created, they’re free from additives and contain locally sourced Fairtrade and organic ingredients, making them pretty much the yummiest, fluffiest cakes around.  

What about a St Clements’ or Carrot-Pecan Wedding Cake or perhaps you’d prefer a Cupcake Tower with 7 tiers of deliciousness?  Whatever flavour you want, whatever colour and design you’ve been thinking about, Absolutely Cakes will make it for you.  They use the best quality ingredients whether that’s eggs from happy hens to pure organic Madagascan Bourbon Vanilla and each cake is completely bespoke and handmade from traditional, classical, elegant, modern or novelty designs to multi-tiered creations.  When it comes to your wedding day, Absolutely Cakes can promise your cake will form part of your treasured memories.  Your order is baked fresh and tailored to your exact requirements, so whatever you decide you want, it will look amazing and it will taste fantastic.  They’re even allergy and food intolerance aware and can bake you a vegan cake or make it gluten, dairy and egg free.  

Absolutely Cakes were the very first cupcake company in Bristol, developed by founder Jan from her many years of celebration cake-making for family and friends and from the very first wedding cake she made whilst still at University.   She’s passionate about making each order from scratch with top quality ingredients and taking special care all the way from the first flavours to the final decorations.  Each order is completely unique and totally bespoke. They’re priced individually and that includes delivery and set up of the cake at your wedding venue on the day.  You can book in a wedding consultation with Jan to discuss your requirements, but before you do, take a look at her website.  The pictures are mouth-watering and you can order selection boxes of some gorgeous cupcakes with a mere click of your mouse.  She’s on Facebook too but best of all, for the day of the fair, she’ll be leaving her bakery and setting up at the Clifton Pavilion, her table laden with cupcake and macaroon samples for you to taste.  She’ll be available for you to ask all your wedding cake questions and what Jan doesn’t know about baking…

Bristol Vintage

We’ve been showcasing some wonderful exhibitors for this year’s Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair and as it's not only #WW today [that’s Wedding Wednesday, you know] but also the #Wedding Wednesday of the year, I [that’s Sarah here, *waves hello*] thought it might be nice to tell you a little more about the lady who makes the annual Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair possible and what she does when she’s not organising this brilliant event.

I expect you know already that Bristol Vintage is a Bristol based company co-founded by Ali Cook and Katie Daniels and, since the birth of Katie’s baby girl, is being run by Ali.  She has over 10 years experience organising boutique events, weddings, parties and film premieres and the idea for the company was inspired by her passion for vintage and love of tea-cups and cupcakes.

It was after attending a number of fairs and realising that they were looking for something that little bit different, that Ali and Katie realised a dedicated vintage wedding fair was exactly what the South West needed.  They came up with the idea to hold their own and last spring held the very first Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair at the Clifton Pavilion.  

This year’s fair is bigger and better, as they welcome back some wonderful exhibitors and showcase some new ones for you, each handpicked and offering gorgeous vintage dresses, fabulous corsets, brilliant headgear and stunning cakes as well as exceptional photographers, beautiful, bespoke stationery, fantastic florists and more.  There’s retro and romantic entertainment and of course there’s always cake served on Bristol Vintage’s very own crockery.  Like last year, there are goodie bags for the first 250 visitors and entry is completely free.

Last year was incredibly exciting for Bristol Vintage with growing wedding orders and even supplying crockery for the fabulous Miss Marmite Lover for her festival pop-up dinners.

This year Bristol Vintage has a few more things up its sleeve and, having just supplied the M-Shed with Babycham glasses for it’s fabulous Norman Parkinson launch Ali is now working with the RWA on a Mother’s Day afternoon tea in the stunning RWA building.  So if you'd like to get in touch or you're planning a wedding or party, come along to the fair on 26th February and meet Ali in person, or you can email Bristol Vintage at info@bristolvintage.co.uk
