Andrew Newson Wedding Photography
Posted: 1/31/2010 2:28:03 PM
Here at Creative Cakecraft we have regular contact with complimentary businesses, and in this regard we would like to draw your attention to Andrew Newson Wedding Photography.

http://www.newsonweddings.com - Relaxed, Stylish and Extraordinary Wedding Photography.

Here are a few words from Andrew: "My approach to wedding photography is quite relaxed; I believe that the best results are achieved by getting the right balance between posed groups shots and a reportage / documentary style." Based in East Sussex, Andrew can cover most of the UK, but usually works within his local areas of Sussex, Kent & London.

In the near future we're going to update the site to include a dedicted links section so that you can get ideas for other services and suppliers that you might need along with your cake from us. Watch this space.

chocolate
Posted: 4/28/2009 10:59:37 AM
chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. chocolate wedding cakes are very popular this year. Brides are using them as a desert. We use only the best quality chocolate to cover our cakes, which makes them irristable. That makes them leathal for me, as eating chocolate makes me very grumpy, and even more grumpy because I can't eat it. Never mind I have a good peg.
Happy Easter
