WOW!!!!!!! What can we say? We knew you would provide beautiful cakes when we first met you, but nothing could prepare us for what we saw on our wedding day!!!You are one very special and talented lady, you gave us exactly what we wanted, even more infact! Our guests were speachless at the cupcakes, each with either a Scottish Thistle or an English Rose. You gave us and our guests the most delicious cakes ever. All of our guests were in awe of your hard work, as were we. The top tier in itself was just amazing and wonderful to eat!
