What a lovely time Sophie and I had at the Hever Castle Golf Club Wedding Fair yesterday.
There were lots of Bride’s to be from all over the country and some international ones too!
From Kent, Sussex, London, Essex and Surrey to Scotland Budapest and Bermuda !
We also met some wonderful couples who are getting married shortly and the variety of cake descriptions and ideas as to what they were after were great fun!
Popular colours for next year range from the soft vintage pastels, midnight blue with ivory to Crystal Palace Football Club’s home team colours of claret and blue!
Hever Castle Golf Club is on the Kent and Sussex borders in truly beautiful surroundings and has amazing history with the Tudor dynasty and all the fabulous stories that come with them.
I just had to make a Tudor mini cake!
Lots of sample cakes were handed out and enjoyed (especially by the other exhibitors!) and Sophie and I got through a fair few of the cookies too.
Sophie was lucky enough to have her hair done by the very talented Kate Beaumont from All The Lovely Brides Bridal Hair Specialist, who managed to do a beautiful braid and curl design whilst chatting to us!
At the end of the day Sophie and I popped into the Odyssey Photobooth for a cheeky pic to show off her hair and my cupcakes!
A fun day with some lovely people.
Happy Monday everyone, I am off for a well earned cup of tea!

A beautiful venue in the stunning Kent countryside in the historic village of Hever with the castle.
Hever Castle is one of my absolute favourite places as I am a huge Tudor fan and the castle and grounds are just stunning.

A giant cupcake was required from Brenchley in Kent for a gorgeous young lady who was turning 18.
As chocolate was her favourite (mine too!), the giant cupcake was a delicious and decadent chocolate sponge filled with a rich chocolate buttercream.
The outside of the cake was covered in creamy fluffy vanilla buttercream in rose swirls with handmade sugar decorations.
This was definitely a girly cake!
These cakes were to be enjoyed by family and friends from all over Tonbridge , Brenchley, Tunbridge Wells Kent and Sussex.
Purple butterflies, pink hearts and flowers decorated the top along with handmade bunting propped between to posts announcing ’18 Today’ with tiny bows and wired hearts.
I love the idea of bunting and this makes a pretty decoration for any cake in any colour way
The bottom of the cake was iced in chocolate buttercream and then had delicious crunchy chocolate fingers embedded into the base. YUMMY!
The whole cake was a summery picture of scrumminess!!
To go with this cake were 12 vanilla cupcakes piped with more of the chocolate buttercream in a rose swirl topped with some very pretty handmade decorations.
As Charlotte is a dancer and has danced her way through many competitions and shows we had to of course include some ballet shoes!
Handbags, pretty flip flops and ballet shoes in pretty pastel colours topped the cupcakes along with a small sign stating ‘eat more cake’ which of course we all should do!
Glasses of fizz all round and a whole weekend of celebrating made this 18th a hugely fun one!
The summer definitely brings out the champagne and cake in us all!
Have a lovely week everyone and cheers!
Mands xx
