Serving clients all over the UK, Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium specialises in unique and one-of-a-kind creations in confectionery. From dragons to superheros and designer shoes to fairy tale castles, Elizabeth has done it all. Or how about a wedding cake that looks like a stack of cushions or one that emulates a chandelier!? There’s no idea too wacky and no cake too crazy for this lady!

Elizabeth has created her amazing cakes for the royals, celebrities, five-star hotels and glamorous West End stores. She is renowned for her intricate designs and has even been featured on television.

Her cakes don’t just look good though! Elizabeth offers a range of delicious flavours including triple chocolate delight (unsurprisingly, her best seller!), vanilla ripple, luscious lemon, caramel, Bailey’s Irish cream (!!), cookies and cream and red velvet.

So you can imagine my glee when she got in touch to share her latest idea with me – a wedding photo shoot inspired by Africa!

Looking for some quirky and contemporary jewellery to rock on your wedding day (and beyond!) then be sure to stop by Blend Creations. After their own Rock n Roll wedding, husband & wife team Vivian & Eric decided to launch their own design company and to produce some really unique pieces. A bottle opener that’s also a necklace? How very handy!

They say, “We try and design pieces that aren’t typical, and as beer aficionados and jewelry designers it seemed natural to design a functional pendant that doubles as a bottle opener. Our bottle opener pendant is the kind of thing that we would have given our wedding party had it been around when we were married! The custom ones are great because they can feature the location of your wedding venue and then personalize the back with the important details of your wedding (date, names and the like).”

Reader Discount

The bottle opening pendants cost $64 ($99 for custom designs). A 35% quantity discount is automatically applied when you purchase 3 or more custom bottle openers.
