You Got The Love Cake Topper

I’m Sarah and I am the owner of MISS CAKE, specialising in making laser cut cake toppers.

Once upon a time Sarah was a stressed out twenty-something social care worker when BAM! she hit 30 and had a Thrisis (mid-life crisis at thirty). Her then boyfriend Craig had been successfully running his own pest control business for years and suggested Sarah came to help manage his business and set up her own sideline.

Sarah (whilst swiftly avoiding any contact with pests and staying firmly in their home based office) loved baking and rediscovered her long lost artistic side by spending the next half of the year of the Thrisis creating iced works of cake art. Emerging from the icing sugar fog six months later and with a growing hatred of sculpting sugar figurines until midnight Sarah realised that she could find a better way to decorate cakes. After some research she found a gap in the market for fun, colourful and modern cake toppers and with all the thanks to Craig (and the pests) bought a laser cutting machine and taught herself some graphic design.

Social Media Etiquette & Weddings

Good evening, more and more am I seeing couple opting for “No posts to Social Media until the evening reception”, one my friends actually stated this on their invitation to us for their September wedding, and I couldn’t agree more.

Patrick from Sheraton Athlone Hotel has created this infographic on what is deemed as good practice at weddings during the height of all the Social Media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Instagram to name a few!). Anyway, why would you bother checking your Instagram likes every five minutes instead of enjoying your wedding?

A Victorian Carnival Wedding Weeking Part I – Jo & Leigh

DSC_5416

It’s finally here!! The ultimate tattooed bride Miss Jo Black got married last year and, in the run up, blogged for Marry Me Ink with all her planning details. Jo and her husband Leigh decided to split their wedding celebrations over two days – One day for the legal part with their very closest family and the second day celebrating with all of their friends. Today I get to share with you Jo and Leigh’s legal part and family celebrations (You’ll have to come back in the next few weeks to see the second half) from photographer Matthew Harris Photo.

I am a tattoo artist, I own a studio in a small town called Frome, it’s a busy and vibrant town in the middle of nowhere. But Leigh had been following me on Instagram for some time (@missjoblacktattoos) and commenting on my work saying he would love to book a tattoo with me.

One busy Saturday when I had a couple of other girls in the shop he showed up! He was living in Birmingham at the time but visiting his son, who he had brought along, about an hours drive from Frome. I was immediately attracted to him, his confidence and his amazing smile were quite overwhelming. The other girls in the shop shot me some looks too and I must have gone bright red.

I greeted him and made the booking for him, whilst he was in the shop his son said “Dad I love you SOOOOOOO much’ and obviously this made us girls melt a little bit. After he left one of my friends joked “Imagine! He could be the man you marry!”

Shortly after Leigh and Finn left to have a wander around Frome, I popped out to get some coffees for us from a café up the road. They were in there getting ice cream, so I went over and said hi, told him I had no more clients that day and we had a walk around Frome together before they drove home.
