New Checklist Article - Cakes Cakes and More Cakes!

After not feeling 100% the last couple of days, I've managed to write the next article addition to the Lissylane Wedding Checklist! The latest article is all about selecting the perfect wedding cake for your dream wedding including plenty of suggestions for wedding cake alternatives.

As most of you would know, my mum made our wedding cake. It was a DIY, two tier, fruit wedding cake (top tier we have frozen for our first wedding anniversary) decorated with Lissylane felt and button flowers. Mum and I both designed the cake, she made and did all the icing and I of course made all the felt flowers and button decorations (which matched the wedding bouquet and boutonnieres). 

Our wedding cake is another perfect example of the ever expanding uses for Lissylane felt and button flowers. Here is a photo of my talented mum's handy work (isn't it fantastic! she had never made a wedding cake before!!):

You will find a wide range of inspiration images for wedding cakes both tiered and cup cakes plus a great selection of wedding cake toppers in the Lissylane Photo Gallery. Perhaps you will find a wedding cake design to show your cake maker for your perfect wedding cake.

The other is a crocheted wedding cake, what a beautiful piece of artwork in its own right:
