I am never as happy as when I see someone taste once of my creations…

It always brings joy to people and I never ever tire of helping others to find the cake of their dreams.

And a few days ago, we gathered for a very, very, special day.

It was a taste testing for a beautiful couples wedding cake.

The spec was… It has to be Gluten, Soya and Dairy Free and if anyone can do it, I know that you can. I always create Gluten Free and I can adapt just about any cake dairy free too.

So first things first, lets agree the dairy free ingredients, so that works not only on a taste level, but also on an ethical level too. Not all dairy free items are the same so its really important to get this right. We had agreed on the ingredients we would use so they would be OK.

It’s soooo exciting, creating for someones most special day.

So the day started with creating 11 different cakes… Yes 11. I did say this was an incredibly special couple didn’t I? Making sure that there are lovely recipes and also recipes that may be a little more unusual too to excite and be a change to the norm.

And here’s the thing.  The cakes which are my “signature bakes” and cakes that are just that little bit different, aren’t always appreciated unless they’re tasted.

This tasting was no exception.

The first cakes of vanilla and tonka sponge were nice, lovely, but they were waiting to taste the others..

And… Here’s a rather different taste!

When they tasted this cake

Gluten Free Gin & Tonic Cake

I got that reaction that I love.

Of eyes popping and the word they used was…

WOW!

You see, a Gin & Tonic cake needs a special blending of gins, so it balances “just right.” There are no flavourings used, just fresh tasting gins that blend and make a delicious, light and lip smacking taste.

I’m known for my signature bake of Lemontastic Drizzle, which people love,

This is that cake, which is now zinging with Gin!

Its strange that every time I make this, people are amazed with the taste and a lovely “hit” of Gin.

And this beautiful creation, will be gracing the cake table at a very special wedding this year.

Weddings are very special aren’t they, very individual and its lovely that the cake can be anything that you want it to be, You can have tradition and you can have flavours that no one else will have tasted before so they remember it forever.

I’m so honoured, to create this cake for their wedding… And a couple more delicious cakes too to create a real individual statement piece.

When you want a special cake, make sure that as you take your first bite, your eyes pop and you say

WOW!

The other 2 cakes that they’ve chosen are just as incredible… And their guests will remember these cakes forever. It is only right that I create a little sign to say… Warning… This cake has Lots of Pure Gin In It! Don’t eat & drive!

What is your go to special cake?  I’d love to know.

Till Next Time
