The Wedding Diaries: The Cake | QueenBeady

Wedding 525

Wedding 526

I thought the best way to bring you a snap shot of our special wedding day would be to do short, little blog posts to let you in on some of the special moments of our big day.

The Cake was truly magnificent. It was everything I had hope for and more. My Aunty Kate was fabulous as she knew exactly the right person to go to for obligatory wedding cake. The very talented Amy from The Cakery whipped up our 3 tier cake, the bottom cake was a rich, dark fruit cake, the middle tier was a simple, quintessential Victoria Sponge and the top tier was a deliciously gooey chocolate cake! We had the best of all different cake flavoured worlds. It was finished with a beautiful, blue buttercream which tasted divine!

You can see that the time and effort spent on this was quite simply a testament to Amy’s hard work. Everyone loved how it captured our whimsical theme.

The cake stand was made by my amazing Uncle who also helped with a few of the other DIY projects we wanted for the wedding and they will follow in another post.

My Mum is a super crafter and she created the gold, glitter bunting for the cake topper. We loved the ‘’Mr & Mrs’’ theme and thought this was much more ‘’us’’ than a traditional Bride & Groom on top!

So, what did you have on your wedding day for a cake? Was it as cute as ours? I’d love to hear from any other Brides who might be falling in to the ‘’Post wedding blues’’ stage like I am so we can just chat merrily about Wedding’s all day long. That is a plea, a request and a downright beg for someone to help!!!

    Wow! Your cake is amazing! (As is, the cake stand!) I think you win in the ‘cake’ department. One of my best friends made mine – it was fairly simple in comparison to yours! We had an English tea party/1940’s theme – so lots of pastels!

            Yes! I forgot to say…it looks scrumptious!
            The main colour blue in your cake, is actually my favourite colour. I love pastels!

    Hi I love that cake 🙂
    When I got married my dad’s aunty made ours which was a nice idea but she wouldn’t let me have any input at all so we ended up with just fruit cake (I don’t even like fruit cake) and she wouldn’t do tiers so we had to have three separate cakes on a swan cake stand. It did look lovely when finished as it was heart shaped with edible lilies on but it would have been nicer if it had been what I wanted.
    A lot of the wedding wasn’t our choice and we only did to keep the family happy so we are planning to renew our vows when we have been married 5 years and are going to have the cake that we wanted 🙂

      Oh no! That’s terrible. Sometimes family can really interfere.
      Mr C & I were adamant that we were paying for the wedding & that it was our day so we would have what we wanted!
      People soon got the message.
      Your wedding cake does sound lovely!
      Renewing your vows is a GREAT idea and certainly something to look forward to ❤️

        Just realised my comment had already sent :-/
        And we did pay for it all ourselves, but my family were really harsh and said if we didn’t do things their way then they wouldn’t come 🙁
        It is something exciting to look forward to and hopefully we will have children by then which will make it more special 🙂

        I look forward to more posts about your wedding

          Aw that is really sad! It should have been what you wanted especially as you were footing the bill.
          Ooh little children! How lovely

            I will do thanks 🙂 I love reading about weddings as ours was nearly a year ago now x

            I do too! I’m terribly sad it is all over. We haven’t put or wedding cards up yet as soon as we got back off honeymoon we were house & dog sitting so we are going to put them up this weekend!

    I’m not sure if my comment worked there so I will write it again 🙂
    I love the cake and I like the idea of making it a bit more styled towards you with the Mr and Mrs rather than the bride and groom at the top of the cake 🙂
    For our wedding my dad’s aunt made our cake but wouldn’t let me have any input so we ended up with a nice cake but not what I wanted. It was all fruit cake (I don’t like fruit cake) and she wouldn’t do tiers so put all three cakes on a cake stand. It didn’t look too bad as the cakes were heart shaped with edible lilies but it wasn’t what we wanted and as neither myself nor my husband like fruit cake we ended up not eating any.
    A lot of our wedding was done to keep the family happy so we have decided we want to renew our vows after about 5 years then we can have the cake we wanted (I want one made by a cake shop in Liverpool lime street train station) and we can have the reception we wanted to make ourselves happy.
