 No need to create a special event just so you can order some DelliPops! - you can now just 'pop' in to the cafe at Treborth Garden Centre in Bangor and enjoy a scrummy cake pop with your brew.

Treborth are just trialling DelliPops at the moment but hopefully lots of sales will mean a long term committment - fingers crossed!

I just had to post these fabulous wedding cakes at The Cake Parlour by Zoe Clark.
I've cherry picked my favourites and put them into two collections firstly

Aren't they all stunners!

Real Wedding : Kerry and Jessica

I'm really pleased with how our Upsidellies decorated with flowers and buttons turned out.

This shows the lovely couple, the incredible bouquets by I heart Buttons that we were asked to co-ordinate with and the resulting Upsidellies Place Names/Favours.

Birthday Boy

Although my gorgeous son loves cake pops and would eat them all day everyday I thought for his 16th Birthday I'd make something a bit different than the usual Dellipop Cakes he always has ...

What do you think?

The cake inside is my usual fudgey dense chocolate cake that Dellipop fans know well but the idea for the decoration came from my favourite Baking Blogger ... Cupcake Crazy Gem I pleased to report he loved it!

Inspiration Series: Chocolate Brown, Gold and Green Theme

So, continuing on from the previous Argentine Embrace post, this post is about the inspiration behind my new Rustic Glamour collection. I've been looking on pinterest and wedding blogs for a while for new wedding cake pop ideas and to see what the most popular colours are for brides. I kept seeing mood boards around a woodsy, country theme with lots of chocolate brown and forest green. Like this one from  blog.finestationery.com

I love the rich colours and earthy textures and of course anything chocolate is going to be loved by me! At first I was thinking of designing rustic cake pops with a plain matt chocolate finish topped with chopped nuts, probably lovely green pistachios .... something like this ...

But as much as I thought they'd be yummy and fit the theme I just didn't think they really went well with the other wedding collections which are much more sophisticated and glamorous. After seeing some stunning gold themed inspiration boards I decided to add gold to the brown and green tones and cobbled together a mood board of my own from everything I'd seen and loved. ( If you're looking to make a board of your own or want to be inspired by colour take a look at The Perfect Palette - their boards are simply beautiful and its really easy to use.)

And what did all these beautiful inspiring pictures lead to? 

 The Rustic Glamour  Cake Pop Collection

So? What do you think? I'm pleased with them - I feel like I achieved a good combination of the earthy rustic colours of chocolate brown and forest green with a more glitzy feel that I think U.K. brides will prefer.

Inspiration Series: Black and White Wedding with Red Details

I thought it might be a good post to show you first my inspiration and then the wedding collection It inspired me to design. I was blown away by a photo shoot featured on The Wedding Chicks Blog and my starting point was the inspiration board I made from their photos.

And this led to ....
