Cakes & Food

This doesn't need much explaining - food and cakes are one of the most important things about many weddings because lets face it guest love to tuck into a glass of wine and a few canapes.  Read my thoughts and reviews on the best food and beverage suppliers out there in the UK market.

Sheep wedding cake

Isn;t this just fabulous? Its the wedding cake of sculptor/cake designer Louise Hill, from Love To Cake, that she created for her very own wedding. Louise’s background is in special make up and creature FX – making blood and guts for film and TV (including creating the body parts for BBC’s Holby city!). She now uses her skills to make cake sculptures and has won awards doing so!… check these out…. wouldn’t you just love one for your wedding? “The sheep was for my own wedding last August! He is a Welsh spotting show sheep, I am Welsh so we…

Fun favours for the chocoholics

Wedding M and M's

I don’t often write about favours but I couldn’t resist this one as I am a chocoholic. Not only that but I got sent my very own LMW personalised M&M’s in turquoise and white (with ‘LMW’ and ‘Marry Me’ on them) and I have to say I was quite impressed. They’ve just come out so its probably not something that you’re guests are going to have seen before and if like me you love chocolate then this might be one for you….. A pack of 50 mini bags starts at £2.50 a bag and they can be ordered online at…

choc cake

Well the name ‘Tempting Cake’ says it all – I can’t wait to taste some of these goodies because they look absolutely delicious. Not only that, but they’re fun alternatives for those that don’t want a traditional wedding cake – the hearts and kisses cookies are my favourite (and would also make good favours!) and I am such a sucker for chocolate so this chocolate torte would definitely be in the pickings. Aren’t those little cookies from the wedding collection also fab! As you know I always like to take a peek behind the scenes of any company -I wanted…

I’ve known for a while that my wedding cakes section of the site needed a bit of TLC so I was over the moon when Janet contacted me and said that she would guest blog for LMW (Janet being a well reknowned cake designer as you will see from the beautiful cakes below). Thanks Janet for your top tips and for helping me spruce up this section of my site – I especially like the look of the marshmallow one 1.

Wedding Cakes

  • July 5, 2009

Wedding cakes can be utterly fabulous and incredibly delicious and this category will be devoted to reviewing all the different flavours, sizes, and wacky ideas that are there to choose from. Whether to choose the traditional fruit cake, little cupcakes which can look really fantastic and taste delicious or whether to go for something really unusual like individual jelly cakes (apparently Mark Ronson had glow in the dark ones at his birthday party recently). Personally I love the idea of cupcakes and brownies as these are easy to make, serve and always a favourite with everyone. In fact if you…
