I’m chuffed to bits to have Liz Chatfield of Sylvia’s Kitchen on my blog again and this time as my latest sponsor! The Getting to know you series delves into the minds of the people who are behind amazing independent companies bringing you all of your wedding treasures. Sylvia’s Kitchen and her scrummy cakes were […]
While there is a Jive lesson going on in my living room (don’t ask!) I thought I would share some more pictures from the fantastic Dolly Takes a Trip shoot I organised recently with Nicki, of Nicki Feltham Photography. We were fortunate to have Laura Mott as our second shooter on the day and she […]
Liz Chatfield is the lady behind Sylvia’s Kitchen and Sylvia is the inspiration. Sylvia was Liz’s mother who sadly passed away six years ago and imparted her love of confectionery on her very willing daughter. Sylvia was self-taught and would make wedding cakes for free, just for the love of it, and would gather her […]
At the end of my feature starring Miss Cake and her stunning cake toppers I alluded to the fact that I would soon be getting my very own slice of her wares…. So, here it is! My commissioned piece of wonderful from the fabulous Miss Cake… I absolutely love it and will be wearing it […]
Last weekend I got the train to Brighton to have a look round Belle’s Bridal Bazaar which had set up shop in the Unitarian Church on New Road. This fair is for all those couples that are anti ‘been there done that’ weddings! Weddings that are off the beaten track are what are catered for […]

The utterly fabulous Miss Cake aka Sarah Broadhurst has long been on my radar without me even realising it! Ages ago I featured cake toppers that I had stumbled upon over at Le Trousseau which until now I was unaware that Miss Cake had in fact designed and made! So I thought it only right […]
These cake toppers really caught my eye! I was quite taken with the song lyrics and they would really stand out if displayed on a block coloured cake. They are available in a small range of colours; fushia pink, black and white, and are made from a single piece of acrylic. It’s this medium which […]
I love cake! I also love eye candy, so what better then than Nevie-Pie Cakes who expertly combine the two!? I met Natasha Collins at Mrs Scoops vintage wedding fair and I was lucky enough to get a slice of her delicious sponge cake, it was so light and creamy I had to stop myself […]
Jo Caldwell and her friend Sally-Ann Ellis set up Ruby’s Vintage Teas when Jo was no longer able to run her floristry shop in August 2011. Their passion has always been vintage (especially the 40s and 50s) and the shop was full of curios and shabby chic gifts that Jo was reluctant to give up […]
