Rose gold luxury wedding cakes have risen in popularity in the last few years. One of the coolest metallics, it is used in everything from makeup to interior design. Sometimes referred to as pink gold, rose gold was first used in the 19th century by Carl Faberge, the world renowned jeweller to the czars in his famous creations, specifically his Faberge Eggs. In a stroke of genius, he mixed copper with yellow gold to create an alluring pink coloured metal which was known as “Russian Gold”. The more copper in the mix, the redder the metal appeared. This alloy then became so popular around the w ..read more

THE MOST EXCITING SILVER LUXURY WEDDING CAKES

Silver is another metallic commonly used in luxury wedding cake design. A very unique metal in many ways, it’s the most reflective of metals and when used on cakes, it gives a mirror like finish. Silver has to be extracted from ores as unlike gold, it does not occur naturally in ready made forms. Due to its malleability it can be made into thin sheets known as silver leaf and the ancient Egyptians must have known something we don’t because they valued silver more highly than gold. Used to make jewellery, tableware and figurines, silver has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory and&nb ..read more

Gold is one of the most valuable precious metals in the world and it is no surprise that this metallic is a source of inspiration for our luxury wedding cake designs. Gold became a trading medium very early on in human history due in part due to its beauty and scarcity and it even gave rise to the concept of money. The use of gold in food has been around for centuries and thinly pounded sheets of it, that is, gold leaf has been used to decorate pastries and cakes for generations. At Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium, we are known for our use of gold as an integral part of our luxury weddi ..read more

My love for chocolate started from when I was little. My grandmother owned a cocoa farm and would often regale me with tales of her fight against the pests that attack cocoa trees and the many organic ways in which she tried to prevent such attacks. She loved pitting her wits against these unseen agents, determined to get the maximum harvest from her farm. The odd thing was growing cocoa pods was actually not that profitable. She just liked the idea of besting those pests, hopeful of harvesting a good crop. Chocolate comes from the seeds of the cocoa pod which grows on ..read more

According to folklore, traditionally,  a wedding cake is made up of three tiers. The bottom tier, the largest, is meant to be served at the wedding for guests to eat at the reception or wedding breakfast. The middle tier would be cut, wrapped in parchment and sent out to friends and family unable to attend the wedding feast. Finally, the top tier was preserved and saved for the christening day of the first child of the union. With our current “new normal”, intimate weddings with fewer guests will be de rigueur in the immediate ..read more
