This amazing cake by Southampton-based The Pastry Corner is a real headturner. With continued love for greenery and succulents it ticks a whole host of trend boxes. Owner of the business Alexandra Bishop explains the inspiration behind the gravity-defying creation.
"I designed it after being inspired by the succulent trend. I'd just had a succulent bowl done for my living room, and I loved the colours of the green against the grey tones, and the vision was born. We combined the marbled icing technique with the upcoming fashion for separations between cake tiers, to create a really standout one-of-a-kind cake."

Dreaming of hazy summer days? What could be better for a chilled outdoor wedding than picnic hampers filled with mouthwatering treats?
Hampshire-based expert Alexandra Bishop, owner of bespoke cake and catering company The Pastry Corner says, "Picnic hampers offer a laid-back experience, allowing guests to eat at their leisure throughout the day. A great ice-breaker, they also help friends and family to mix and mingle and get the conversation flowing.
"Like any other summer picnic in this country, the weather can't be guaranteed, however this style of catering can work just as well in an indoor setting like a barn or marquee."
