Vintage inspired cakes

With the Queen's Jubilee looming and a four day weekend to enjoy, we've been thinking about having a little party and making some cakes so what better way to get some inspiration by blogging about vintage cakes?

www.sosnweddingdesigns.blogspot.co.uk - Something Old, Something Blue is a fab website which design's beautiful cakes like the one above and red is such a patriotic colour right now.

http://bonafidebride.blogspot.co.uk - we love lace but would never have thought have using it as inspiration for a cake! This gives a nod at the stunning dress Catherine Middleton wore on her wedding day last year.

Peggy Porschen is THE name in beautiful wedding cakes and confectionary and if I ever get married I am so commissioning a cake from her! - Sarah @ SVWH

www.delicious-cakes.co.uk - we love birds as you know 

and were thrilled when we came across this birdcage cake!

http://ruffledblog.com - we are big fans of this blog and wish Amanda was our friend! She has some lovely ideas and this pink ruffle cake is to die for.

http://www.maisiefantaisie.co.uk - a great cake shop based in SW2, London - Maisie opts for old school glamour and we have fallen in love with this simple yet elegant design.

http://www.belleamour.co.uk - we are big fans of the colour blue. 

It is calming and looks stunning with white accessories.

So good we had to put two of them (above and below) - these are simply amazing cakes that have been handpainted to get this unique finish. WOW!

As Marie Antoinette said "Let them eat cake" and oh, will we.

New Year, New Look!

So 2012 is finally here and we have kicked off the year with a new look website!

Let us know what you think - www.sarahsvintagewendyhouse.com.

So to celebrate our fab, fresh new look we are sharing one of our favourite things with you....

 Birdcages! These antiqued look ones are beautiful grouped together.

 Colourful canvases bring a splash of colour to any wall in the house.

 Saw these and got very excited at the thought we could make our own in minature!

Everyone loves a statement cushion and this one is just the business!

 Wrought iron is making a comeback and we love the Moroccan feel of these whilst still being a modern twist on the traditional birdcage.

 Or perhaps you fancy being a bird yourself? One designer has created their own 'human birdcage'!

 Stickers can enhance any space, no matter how big or small. The great things about these is when you tire of them you can remove them and use them elsewhere.

 Some clever people even make their own stationary with birdcages on and we think they look beautiful.

So as you may have guessed birds and birdcages are one of our new things.

Our fab new website is up and running now so do have a look - www.sarahsvintagewendyhouse.com. We are also selling some of our gorgeous furniture online and all of them have some money off in the end of our January Sale so grab yourself a bargain and a little bit of history to boot.
