Starting with Fridays Cake, 3 tiers of individual hearts with topper cake. Decorated with handmade sugar Lillie's in Burgundy and Ivory with a touch of Black and Silver looks great set up at Eaves Hall in Clitheroe, and although I didn’t get to speak the the bride and groom Lyndsay & Marc they looked like they were having a great day with their guests and sure they will be happy with their Cakes
Next Cake was at the very grand Hoghton Towers for Paula and Matt, Bauble cakes in Burgundy, Black and Ivory with mostly handmade sugar rose’s to decorate, with a lot piped work to finish off.Looked really good with the castle back drop and fitted in great with he theme of the room.
Anyway Thanks for looking we hope this give others ideas for their big day and remember there's a lot more cakes on our website at www.specialized-cakes.co.uk or if your prefer follow us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Specialized-Cakes

Had a lovely evening at Mitton Hall with some of the best wedding suppliers in the Northwest.
And before I go on I must give credit!! as all photo’s of the Event on here were taken By the Photography Super Hero’s at Jonny Draper Photography stunning pictures, really knowledgeable about what they do and most of all just nice and very helpful people!!
Anyway on to the event which was sold out for over 60 guests mostly brides , grooms and their friends and families who wanted to try the great food with great entertainment and talk about all things wedding and hopefully get some great ideas to take away with them from the supplier or wedding “Superheroes” as we were all dubbed!!
Guests arrived and enjoyed reception drinks and canapé's before being seated at their tables – which is when things really got started…!!!
Flutterby Couture had created all of the stationery for the evening, including the seating plan, table names, place names…
Flower Design had created these amazing table centre pieces – every single one was different with the aim of showing off just how creative you can be on your big day…
Mitton Hall served a full 4 course menu of all their dishes (in smaller portions thankfully!) in a tapas style platter service and of course the food was just as good as expected. We were lucky as we had places at the tables so we got the chance to talk to all of the guests personally and give them the opportunity to chat to us about their big day and all things wedding! as well as tuck in to the lovely food on offer!!
Top wedding entertainer Howard Wing was the man with the mic and really kept everyone entertained all evening – even letting Dave, Mitton Hall’s Maître d’, blast out a chorus or two! (He was awesome!)
The Big Reveal! was set up at the beginning of the evening when the full team of wedding superhero’s were introduced, special guests – the ‘brides and grooms’ for the evening, Olivia & Dan and Sarah & Be ware introduced in their ‘normal’ clothes and then during the course of the evening backstage. Sheree from One & Only Bridal Couture (who also did an amazing job on Sarah & Olivia’s hair!) and Emma Draper Make-Up Artist gave them a full make-over, dressed them in some amazing wedding gowns and suits and presented them to our guests at the end of the night!
The man who coined the phrase ‘Wedding Superhero’s’ Tom Harrington from Silk Wedding Videos shot some amazing footage throughout the evening – which will be coming soon…
Now I have covered all the stuff our fellow wedding “Super Heroes” did, I should now tell you about our small part in what was a great evening!!
As well as displaying a Bauble Cake and talking to a great bunch of Brides, Grooms, Friends and Family about their wedding plans(Mostly Cake Talk of course!) I set the Guests a task of making their own Cup Cake wedding Flavour!!. I think everyone really enjoyed the task and of course got a cake to take home and eat, Just hope I did not train too many up! as some did really well making a superb job of the task even after a few glasses of Champagne!!!
Along we ourselves were Flower Design, Howard Wing, Silk Wedding Videos, One & Only Bridal Couture, Flutterby Couture, Creative Cover Hire, Jonny Draper Photography, Peter Jackson The Jewellers so all in all a talented bunch!! who had every part of the wedding well and truly covered.
