These fabulous photographs have just come in from photographer Richard Wall at CaptureMyLife.com. The wedding was a couple of weeks ago at the Don Carlos Hotel in Elviria, Marbella, and Richard has captured the bride Louise and groom Gary perfectly – they are a lovely couple and we very much enjoyed working with them, and wish them every happiness in the future!

P.S. Louise used to sing with the girl group ‘SuperSister’, so scroll down to the YouTube video and check out the gorgeous blonde!

Just got back from a beautiful private villa wedding, where we baked and set up a tower of Vanilla Cupcakes on a tower scattered with wonderful asian orchids – the evening sun lighting up the villas and palm trees of El Madroñal is a sight that always makes us appreciate living here. The happy couple have flown over from California, USA so they obviously think it’s quite special here too!

The stunning Hotel Villa Padierna, Marbella is the venue this evening for a wedding reception for 100 guests, who will be wined and dined and dance on another of Marbella’s balmy September evenings. Villla Padierna, where Michelle Obama and her daughter stayed last month, plays host to some of the most lavish weddings and events on the coast, and this evening will be no exception.

Laura from Reviva Weddings and her hard-working team added all the fabulous visual touches, while Heather and Alexandro from Fiestasol Catering provided the wonderful food. As usual, we have to make do with my iPhone snapshots while we wait for the official piccies in a couple of weeks!

Yesterday, to celebrate the wedding of Kathryn and Andrew, we baked a tower of chocolate cupcakes, topped with a giant cupcake and covered them with sweeties – you remember all the wonderful ones we all used to munch at school (Crunchies, Curly Wurlies, Rolos, Dolly Mixtures, Refreshers, Sherbert Fountains, Smarties etc…). The reception was held at El Oceano Beach Hotel & Spa at Mijas Costa, and it was our first time there – lovely people, very professional set-up… and what a stunning view!

We have just received these beautiful photographs of Claire & Johnathon’s wedding at Finca La Concepcion last month, taken by the amazing Jeremy Standley. It shows how important cake is on a wedding day, and that it always puts smiles on faces!

Yesterday, we were at the breathtaking Villa del Mar at Marbella Club, where the owner’s son, Daniel Shamoon, and his bride Nadine held their wedding reception for 400 guests. We baked Red Velvet and Chocolate cupcakes, and set them up on a pair of six tier towers, trimmed with ivory satin ribbon. We heard the bands doing their soundchecks and saw all the final adjustments being made and, by the time we left, the first guests were being chaufeured to the villa in the Marbella Club buggies. It was a perfect Marbella summer evening, and we look forward to seeing some party pics!

I have just got back from H10 Andalucia Plaza Hotel in Estepona, setting up a tower of Lemon, Vanilla & Chocolate Cupcakes for a wedding reception which will by now be in full flow! Heather from Fiestasol and Laura from Reviva were there making sure all was running smoothly, and I am waiting to see the official photographs by Kris McGuirk, so I can post some proper photos! Anyway, our very best wishes to the gorgeous bride Tracy and lucky husband Gavin, from us all at Cake Marbella :)

Here are a few photos I took while setting up a tower of Chocolate Cupcakes at the gorgeous Finca la Concepcion in Istan, Marbella. There will be some wonderful photos on their way soon, courtesy of Jeremy Standley. Catering the reception was Heather and her team at the excellent Fiestasol, who also planned the whole wedding, and styling was by Marbella’s ‘Fairy Godmother’ Laura Charles at Reviva Weddings. Stunning venue, beautiful sunshine – days like these make me feel very lucky to do what I do, where I do!

Here are a couple of snaps of some Chocolate Cupcakes with Rosewater cream cheese icing, (topped with crystalised  violet and rose petals) that we baked for a wedding reception this evening in Ronda. We have been promised some photos of the sumptuous Moroccan themed party, so we’ll keep you posted!

We are very happy to post these beautiful photographs of Håkon and Irene’s wedding and reception at Roca Tranquila, Fuengirola recently, taken by excellent wedding and portrait photographer Jeremy Standley. Norwegian Håkon and Irene were a dream to deal with and we were very happy to bake a mixture of Chocolate, Carrot Cake, Red Velvet and Vanilla Cupcakes for their special day – we hear they went down very well! Very best wishes to you both from all of us.

Hi, Mark – we never got to see you, but I want to thank you very much for the cupcakes – they looked very good and tasted fantastic!!!  Thanks for making us a fantastic wedding cake :-)

Regards,

Håkon and Irene.

Hi Mark & Jen,

The cupcakes were FABULOUS!! They looked spectacular and even though I thought a 14 course dinner would fill everyone up, all of the guests flocked to find their cupcake as soon as we cut the cake! The name flags worked a treat and we loved the artwork that you produced for us, making them unique and reflective of us and our passions. The cakes were delicious and perfect for after our meal, light and refreshing, people came back for a second helping of the large cutting cake once their cupcake was devoured!

Really impressed with it all and would heartily recommend to anyone else – it was a pleasure.

Claire & Nick Dunn

We now have some beautiful photographs taken by Jennifer Jane (jjweddingphotography.com) at Sofie & Nathan’s wedding at Bono’s Beach, El Rosario a couple of weekends ago, and we would like to share them with you!

We have just got back from the serene Amanhavis Hotel in Benahavis, where we have set up a tower of vanilla cupcakes for Richard and Nina, over from Abu Dhabi. Married yesterday, they are having a blessing and dinner at Amanhavis this evening.
