Princess Wedding Cake from Love Island Cakes

Every bride wants to be a princess on her special day – so here’s the story of a cake made especially for a princess in Bahrain.

She wanted it big, exclusive and different. We discussed the design with her and sketched out a cake big enough to feed the 3,000 people attending her wedding reception at a palace in Bahrain.

Big?

When we say big, we mean big. The final cake was six feet in diameter, fifteen feet tall and weighed almost half a ton. It was so big it had to be cooked in pieces that were assembled into the final cake. So big, it wouldn’t go through the doors in the wedding tent and it had to be finally assembled in place.

Exclusive?

It was assembled around a central pole with hanging baskets and finished in gold with hundreds of sugar flowers.

Different?

We’ve never, ever made anything like it before. While we were there, we were asked to decorate another cake for the same wedding. Designed by the amazing Ian Ashmore we were thrilled to work on his 'Snake in a Palm Tree'.

The whole story had a really tight timescale. From design to cutting there was just ten days. And that included getting it all to Bahrain.

And they all lived happily ever after...

Of course this story has a happy ending. The cake was made – the bride and groom were delighted - but the ovens were fired by a lot of midnight oil.

Of course we do smaller cakes too. It doesn’t matter to us if you’re having three or three thousand guests at your wedding – we still want you to be totally delighted with your special cake on your special day. We’d like a bit more than ten days notice though!

Kind Words

Hi Hunni
Just wanted to say we are back in cold UK, not loving it much. Really didn't want to leave lol.
We both wanted to say thank you for making the most amazing cake, I only wish I had ordered a bigger one, we appeared to have some greedy guests lol!! I loved it, it tasted amazing, I think everyone went back for seconds and possibly thirds, well, apart from me - I was too full I think with all the excitement of the day. I am pleased that everyone enjoyed and all the guests said how gorgeous it looked.
I would also like to thank you for all your support on the build up to the wedding, I have to say between you and Nicky of Cyprus Images you have both been amazing and such lovely people too, which made things so easy.
Lots of Love, Kirsty & Steve xxx
Hello Jackie,
Well it's been a week and we are still married - so all good here! We just wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful wedding 'cake' - it looked and tasted delicious, and was something everyone was really excited about. Happily we even managed to save the top pie to freeze in tradition, and will get to enjoy on our anniversary.

I'm just so grateful that you were able to accomodate our rather odd request at such short notice - it was perfect. More than we had hoped for, and I can't thank you enough for making it possible. We had so many compliments on how yummy it was.

I'm sure you already took pictures, but thought you might like to see the attached of us with the cake.

All the very best, and hopefully meet you again
