Elizabeth has created her amazing cakes for the royals, celebrities, five-star hotels and glamorous West End stores. She is renowned for her intricate designs and has even been featured on television.
Her cakes don’t just look good though! Elizabeth offers a range of delicious flavours including triple chocolate delight (unsurprisingly, her best seller!), vanilla ripple, luscious lemon, caramel, Bailey’s Irish cream (!!), cookies and cream and red velvet.
So you can imagine my glee when she got in touch to share her latest idea with me – a wedding photo shoot inspired by Africa!
“The idea and concept for the shoot was mine”, she explained. “I like to seek inspiration for my cakes from various places and I’d noticed the recurring theme in recent catwalk of the use of tribal and ethnic inspired fabrics and accessories. Burberry (who changed the lining of their classic trench coat to an African print), Marc Jacobs, John Galliano and Michael Kors were all at it with colourful and black and white geometric prints, tubular chokers and pendants.”
“This shoot is a contemporary interpretation of Africa’s diverse and unique cultural heritage and an homage to the modern day African princess”, she elaborated. “We used colours ranging from dramatic black and white, metallic gold and shades of coral. Traditional African fabrics, jewellery and distinctive styling techniques were used to create the most splendid images that are indeed ‘Out of Africa’.”
