Full Description
Based near Maidstone, Kent, Iced Images are makers of beautiful bespoke wedding cakes.
Following a personal consulation with the bride, if the bride wishes, a taste of some of our yummy cake and a cup of tea we work with you to ensure that your ideas are made into the cake of your dreams and to make each cake truly unique for your special day.
We specialise in all types of handmade botanically correct sugar flowers from full blown vintage style roses to Lilies and all types of Orchid to name but a few. These can be used to decorate your cake, or to decorate a pre purchased cake and make a wonderful keepsake from your special day.
Due to our extensive training and qualifications we are also able to offer traditional royal iced cakes as well as the more modern fondant / regal ice styles and chocolate cakes. We also offer naked cakes, semi-naked cakes and buttercream cakes.
As established professional cake decorators we are able to make your cake as a traditional tiered cake on pillars or separators, a more modern stacked style cake, or on the fashionable chrome stands.
As the makers of your cake we deliver and assemble your wedding cake for you at your venue for free within 10 miles of our studio. We prefer to deliver and assemble the cake for you ourselves so that we can ensure it is assembled to your exact requirements. Beyond 10 miles we are very happy to deliver and assemble your cake but a small charge will apply. We also offer brides the option to collect their cakes should they wish to do so the day before the wedding.
I have over 20 years experience in making all types of cakes, and have been qualified to City & Guilds Level 3 since 1997. We hold full public liability insurance and a 5* rating for food hygiene from our local council.

A beautiful looking Cake!
I met Karen at a wedding fair and from the moment I saw her cakes, absolutely loved them! Meeting her, cake tasting and designing our cake was such a lovely experience also!
Everyone commented on how gorgeous our cake looked and tasted! I didn’t get a chance till the next day to eat some, but without a doubt, the best cake I have had!
Super excited to create future cakes with Karen!
Thank you so much, the whole experience was so wonderful x

We loved our delicious wedding cake.....
We loved our delicious wedding cake. I am lactose intolerant and asked for a dairy free layer which Karen said she could do without hesitation and it tasted amazing! The design was beautiful and Karen was a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend Iced Images! Thank you very much.

The sugarflowers on the cake were amazing......
Karen made our beautiful wedding cake and I can not thank her enough. At the trial the choice of cakes was amazing and it was a difficult decision to decide what to go for. The sugar flowers on the cake were amazing and matched my bouqet perfectly! Would highly recommend and use again.

Beautiful wedding cake
Amazing service from first contact right up until the wedding day itself. The cake was stunning and the detail in the sugar flowers was amazing. We received so many compliments on the cake and the whole 4 tiers were eaten on the day (much to our disappointment as wanted to take some home)

What is your most memorable wedding?
I went to a venue for the first time, Kent Life in Maidstone. It was a beautiful summers day and the venue looked stunning yet quirky and had an amazing feel about it! It was different to anywhere i had been, with a choice of places to get married. I set up the cake and stepped back and had a real wow moment! I love that cake now, 3 years later and the venue too!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Pretty and vintage,
floral with handmade sugar flowers,
lace and pearl,
glamourous yet under stated.
What about your business are you most proud of?
The fact that its all my own work. It has taken many hours of work and promotion to build up my business and now most of my commissions are by personal recommendation.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Once you find a supplier you like, and have booked your date, then book them as there is often a limit to the number of weddings that supplier can do at one time. Some brides book two years ahead, and some dates always seem more popular than others!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
One of my happy couples had a "lemon" themed wedding and as well as having lemons on their cake, each guests name place was a lemon with the names on and the favours were small jars of lemon curd. It was truly unusual but looked amazing.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I like to meet with the bride and groom at my house so they can see me and my surroundings. We generally chat over a cup of tea, and try the different flavours of cake I offer. I ask them to bring ideas, colours, invitations etc and we try to draw up ideas for a cake that is truly unique with them. There is no obligation and no charge, but most couples go away happy with a cake design they love and then have to struggle to decide what flavour cake to have for which tier!
What is your signature cake?
Floral with hand made sugar flowers with edible lace. There is one cake I have made 3 or 4 times, tweaking it slightly each time. Its beautiful however we do it!
What is the most original creation you have baked for a wedding?
The lemon cake, where the bride had real lemons between the tiers. It was tricky but looked amazing when it was done!
Describe how you got into making wedding cakes.
I had taken up cake decorating as a hobby by chance back in the early 1990's and as they do people started to ask me to make cakes for them. I didn't plan to make wedding cakes at all, its such a huge responsibility, but a family friend had been let down and asked me to make their wedding cake. Once I had set it up, I stepped back to marvel at the wonderful creation I had made, which is something I do now, over 20 years later. I realised then that wedding cakes was where I wanted to be, and that is now where I focus my business.
What would be your show stopper in the Great British Bake Off?
A 4 tier cake with cascading handmade sugar flowers!
