Veronika & Kelly 28th October 2023

Veronika & Kelly came to me with the most stunning mood board for their wedding. I looked forward to creating their cake for ages and was so excited when the date finally came. Their wedding was at The Fenwick in Balmain and was styled by the amazing Oxytocin Floral. I mean LOOK at those flowers. The wedding was also photographed by an amazing photographer Tien Chia Photography creating images that are exactly what I see with my eyes and wish I could capture.

They really loved my previous cake for Bridget & Hugo so I worked on pressing florals that would match their bold styling. I grow and press all the flowers myself so saved up during the growing season to be able to use these on their cake.
Mood board.

The cake was a double height so they were able to choose two flavours. The went with half double chocolate and half coconut cake with salted caramel. The outside was finished in silky smooth vegan Swiss meringue buttercream so the delicate pressed flowers could stick on easily. We had pressed marigolds, roses, dianthus, and violets.

Each side of the cake highlights different flowers and the movement of the blooms over the extra tall tier. The top edge of the vegan Swiss meringue buttercream was left unfinished and rough to allow some of the blooms to “fly away”, creating a really soft, ethereal look, as if the wind was gently blowing. I loved this understated use of the pressed flowers and how the cake looked next to the bold and lush Oxytocin Floral arrangements.
The entire room was stunning with customised ceramic gifts for each guests, set with hand made calligraphy place cards.

I absolutely loved working on this wedding cake and felt really lucky to be able to walk into the room with the carefully curated space by Oxytocin Floral. I wanted to immerse myself in all the bold and unique flowers, colourful and textural.
