London Wedding Planner

There’s nothing we love more here at Helen Carter Weddings than drooling over fabulous cake designs on the web (actually, that’s a lie, there’s nothing we love more than eating cake, but browsing comes a close second!). Therefore, we were delighted to come across US cake pop designer Lauren Caveness whose company Sweet Lauren Cakes produces some of the most stunning displays we have seen for a while.

Cake pops are a relatively new phenomenon here in the UK and have started to be used at weddings as quirky and tasty favours. Lauren takes this one step further by substituting the wedding cake for a bespoke cake pop display, which can be tiered to mirror the traditional cake.

Her cake pops come in many delicious sounding flavours and are decorated beautifully to theme with the wedding. We particularly love the little bride and groom pops which sit on this white display.

We’ve yet to see anything like this in the UK market, but think that clever DIY brides could find a way of recreating her displays. If the tiered stands seem a step too far, how about making displays using a variety of vases and shredded paper, or even attempting the vertical stick stands in the red and aqua display above?

Or if you want to stick with using cake pops as favours rather than as a cake substitute, how about taking inspiration from Lauren and presenting them in clear boxes as an elegant alternative to cellophane bags?
