Variation on the Most Popular Cake…
The Crompton Cake
Variation on Kidman Cake
The Crompton cake is a new take on the Kidman cake with a square base and pearls in each daisy instead of diamontees. This 3 tier cake is topped with a styrofoam ball tastefully decorated with the daisies and pearls. The middle tier is surrounded by edible flowers with intermittent pearls. Find out more information about ordering etc on our Wedding Page here…
The Most Popular Wedding Cake
4 Tier Kidman Cake
Fiona has been baking custom made cakes for several years and throughout that time one cake has proved most popular with brides-to-be and their soon-to-be husbands. Known as the Kidman Cake which uses hand-cut daisies with diamontees and a removable top ball. This can be either 3 or 4 tiers as required with hand-cut daisies which are edible on the actual layers with intermittent diamontees.
More information about this cake, to get a quote or place an order contact us and we will get back to you.
So many cakes to choose from….
If you’ve had a chance to look at Fiona’s Facebook page you will have seen the huge number of cakes that she has made over the last few years. Each cake has been custom made by hand to enhance whatever special occasion they are made for. Anyone can make a cake but it takes real skill to craft each one into the works of art that Fiona’s creations become. However, there is no point having a cake that looks nice and taste is something that also matters. Fiona offers cakes in a variety of types and flavours including madeira sponge, chocolate, orange, lemon, fruit and toffee flavoured cakes…
Since Fiona has uploaded all the photographs over the last few years, we are doing our best with the website to get as many of these cakes uploaded as possible and so far we have managed to publish a few cakes on the Wedding and Novelty and Celebration cakes pages. We will continue to upload as much information and cake pictures as possible in the next few weeks and soon everyone who visits www.cakesbyfionabird.com will be able to see the entire collection to date…..Watch this space for details…
