Another reviewer shares:
_"We absolutely love our wedding photos! Hayley has a real talent for capturing natural, candid moments while also making sure the posed shots are perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our big day."_

CAKES

BONITA BAKES
Picture
To create luxury, elegantly crafted Wedding Cakes, Bonita the founder of www.bonitabakes.co.uk strongly believes every couple should have 'Beautiful Cakes of Art' which is exactly what Bonita's ethos is all about.
Bonita's wedding cake design all came about by discovering the ethereal qualities of Wafer and Rice Paper. This decorating medium is very versatile from creating wafer flowers, rice paper contemporary shapes, edible paper lace and both allowing any colour to be surface painted or emersed in watercolour.
Most of Bonita's cake finishes are decorated in white chocolate Ganache giving the opportunity to be smooth or textured while also perfect for any temperatures and colour with the added bonus of complimenting every cake tier flavour.
This particular finish was recently practised at a London Studio Workshop taught by Bonita's favourite cake artist Marina Machado, all the way from Australia, where she learnt how to shape a cake structure covering it in Ganache by hand to produce a unique design showcasing it as a cake vase!
This has been a design that has been presented to many couples with the endless possibilities to have an actual piece of art at their wedding.
During Bonita's 4 years as a wedding cake artist she has won many Awards and Accolades, International, National and Regional with most recently the UK SME Enterprise Awards 2025, Cake Designer of the Year.
