Dubai is all about opulence on a grand scale. So as a cake designer who loves a large canvas I was excited to design this 2.2 metre tall wedding cake with literally 10,000 ‘s of hand made sugar flowers that was fit for a royal-esque wedding. This order would typically take about 2 months to commission however I only had 1 week. So with the help of a large team we worked late every night till this huge order was displayed overlooking Dubai.
There’s something about Rococo style and wedding cakes that just seems to be the perfect match. For this tall tailored cake, I travelled to Muscat, Oman to design an Omani wedding cake at Al Bustan Palace ( Ritz ) with Quintessentially . The bride desired a timeless design adorned with hundreds of hand made sugar flowers with jewell centres on the inside and gold hand painted rococo details. The bride wore a custom Ellie Saab dress, so I added soft lace like floral detailing to the tiers to finish off this royal looking cake.
As a cake designer, I go through stages of obsession with certain mediums to decorate with. I’ve had dreams of falling apple blossoms with petals so thin the sun light shines through . I flew to Abu Dhabi to design that vision. For this grand cake for a Emirati wedding at Eastern Mangroves in Abu Dhabi with Julie and Romeo Weddings , I tailored a cake that had thousands of edible blossoms with soft blush sugar peonies and gold gilded branches to pair. It was absolute heaven designing this cake and see all the weeks of work and months of planning come together.
