Another sunny day and another lovely visit to one of my favourite local venues, in preparation for Emma and David's intimate Twilight wedding celebrations at The Lawn in Rochford, Essex. 

Emma and David had had a lovely time at their consultation chatting through their requirements and opted for a 2 tier semi butter iced cake in a lovely relaxed fresh flowers format. After enjoying trying numerous samples, they decided upon Lemon and Elderflower for the top tier and chocolate orange for the bottom tier. Both flavours are firm favourites with many of my couples and by all accounts were a hit with Emma and David's guests too.

The beautiful peonies adorning the cake were supplied by Christines of Hockley and I decorated the cake with them, taking care to ensure that they were all set in posy picks to protect the cake from sap and maintain food safety. The flowers were all later carefully removed by the team at The Lawn before the cake was cut and served. 

Emma and David also had two guests with gluten intolerences, so I made them a cupcake each using gluten free flour, decorated them to match the theme with white butter icing, a little icing flower and pink ribbon. I then set them in individual boxes with personalised name tags and messages.

Huge congratulations to this lovely couple and thank you both for asking me to be a part of your special day.
