They say if your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough and today, I'm feeling a bit of both! π«π·πΌβοΈ
Today, the builders are here and building work has officially started on my new cake studio! This has been in the background since last summer when I applied for planning as I was outgrowing my home kitchen
The timing felt perfect as my little boy started school in September and I moved from part time to full time hours and if I'd outgrown my kitchen while being part time there was no doubt I needed more space.
Fun fact for those who don't know his initials are JVB which inspired my business name.
The house is currently in chaos as everything from the garage moved indoors, including bakery items that were stored in boxes in the garage and my bakery fridge.
Cheers to new chapters and a lot less dust in my future! π₯

Effortlessly elegant, this semi naked design was finished with white chocolate ganache and beautiful blooms from @peakflowersbuxton which really brought the vision to life.

πΉAs featured in the 100th edition of Your Midlands Wedding! πΉ
We've been featured for a styled shoot conceived and brought to life by by @celebrate_with_elizabeth at the beautiful Bleaklow Farm by @beyond_venues and just look how stunning the overall results are β€οΈ
The mood board was beautiful but the reality.... Well it's better than I think any of us could imagine.
When I saw the moodboard I had visions of edible flowers and the lovely team at @nurturedinnorfolk really hit the mark and brought my ideas to life, all set against a backdrop of crisp white fondant to really highlight the natural beauty.
All the suppliers brought the vision to life beautifully and could not have wished for a better team. Details below for all the suppliers, please go check out their work

Throwback to February 2024 when I delivered this cake that H & A designed to @templeof.fun
The family of the nearlyweds who were due to get married, reached out asking if I could help create a small wedding cake, for two weeks later! Up to this point they hadn't planned to have a cake, and with a little help from family and myself we made it happen.
This was completely designed by H&A and the fondant hearts were coloured taupe and burgundy to match their suits, crisp white fondant and gold fondant bow and matching gold pearls and star sprinkles to bring it to life.
A fun and lovely design completely personal to them and I think the cake matched the design perfectly.
The newlyweds were very impressed at how I'd brought their vision to life β€οΈ
Flavour - vanilla bean sponge filled with vanilla bean buttercream and raspberry conserve covered in white chocolate ganache underneath the fondant.
What would your ideal wedding cake look like?

Head over to one of my favourite places and meet some amazing suppliers, can't wait to go for the first time as a supplier to my wedding venue π
Earlier this week my little giant turned 4, he's Bluey obsessed and all I've heard, for what feels like forever, is I'd like a Bluey cake Mama, when asked what flavour he wanted he was very clear it was chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream and raspberry but blue on the outside.
Bluey and family were not my usual fondant characters due to booking a rather last minute and very large wedding exhibition the day after his party however as I love sugar modelling, one day when I find time, i'll give them a go.
He was delighted and that smile when he saw it was one I won't forget. His friends all took home individually boxed cupcakes with Bluey themed toppers and I've had plenty of photos of them being eaten/enjoyed/worn π
Happy 4th birthday lil man x

It's been a 'fun' week here at JVB, a few of my lovely brides to be pointed out they'd not been receiving my emails and some had their emails bounced back
I think I've cured my pesky email issues now, I will not be emailing after midnight just in case it starts feeding them again π
I've emailed all enquiries I've received in last few days, I believe I've contacted anyone that I was waiting for a reply from or has a cake due soon, I've also reached out to any enquiry that their cake date hasn't passed yet so please check your emails and spam folders and if you haven't had a reply drop me a DM here, email again or WhatsApp me.
Thanks for your patience and understanding and let's hope I won't have to make 80's movies references again anytime soon π€
