Baby Cakes

Phew! We've been very busy here at The Cake Tree these last six weeks as the wedding season gets going. there has also been a lot of christenings too! two of our wedding clients have returned with christening orders this year which is so lovely and a real privilege!!

One such cake was almost as big as his mummy's wedding cake! Our lemon cake for the top tier and the ever popular vanilla sponge for the base.

The lemon cake is a lovely, dense concoction layered with buttercream and handmade lemon curd which is drenched in our own syrup made from organic sugar and lemon juice. Its more a pudding really and has almond included for an even yummier texture.

Of course we make a little extra just in case....which was not required so it went very well with a welcome cuppa for the workers. You have to keep them happy because happy workers means gorgeous cakes! {The lemon cake recipe will be available in the next post along with the baby elephant tutorial which uses a technique that makes such pieces lighter.}

Latest News
Our new website is nearly ready and we're really excited that our cakes are being photographed by the professional photographer Paul Karalius {www.paulkaralius.com} who has worked with many high profile clients such as the Open Eye gallery on Liverpool's waterfront. 

Of course we need to mention our web designer David Lenderyou who developed our first site and is now putting the final touches to our updated version which we are delighted with. 

So it's a bit of a face lift for The Cake Tree and with all this 'refurbishment' comes a new collection of wedding cakes we hope you will love. We'll keep you posted!
