What happens when a wedding cake designer chats all things cake with wedding photographers? Well a lot of cake talk, laughs & chat, lots of chat!
It was brilliant to get a chance to talk shop face to face with wedding photographers from Cork Laura and Benny Photography. For main years now Laura has been in my DMs, messaging when our services would cross paths. So, I was only thrilled to join Laura & Benny on their podcast to give what insights I could on wedding cake design . Benny is a massive cake enthusiast and by his own admission would make some mess baking.
Here is one of the especially themed weddings we did together. I do love a Harry Potter wedding cake particularly the bride's reaction to the cake display:
A compliment I was not expecting, and one I am actually chuffed with, is that Laura can smell the difference between my cakes and other bakers. When you hear a unique and genuine remark like that it really does hit the heart strings. I love the images below which are from the first weddings I did with Laura & Benny, I am a big fan of a cake cutting photo!
It was gas chatting to the lads about all the flavour options, Laura and Benny truly are cake lovers! We got a chance to talk about so much, including the allergies and even toxicity of flowers. I even confessed my guilty pleasure of singing in a banqueting room as I setup the delivered wedding cake.
Here are some great weddings I got to work on with Laura and Benny, including photos from the video Weddimony Films with Laura and Benny Photography, as well as the semi naked chocolate drip cake (I know full well Benny loved this):
