Empire State Building Wedding Cake

Taking the Empire State Building to Taunton in Somerset has been this January cake decorating highlight for Rainbow Sugarcraft. Travelling for eight hours down country the last leg was over the superb countryside of the Quantock Hills. There were some bad omens on the way; a solitary magpie; a black cat crossing our path and a pause to check directions at a sign which was the site of Dead Woman's Ditch.

We finally arrived at Crowcombe Court, a beautiful Grade I listed building. With a little careful manouvering the cake was built in towering sections in the magnificent Hall and stood over five feet high. A few finishing touches from the top of a ladder and it was complete.

We were delighted to then read this superb review from the Happy Groom:-

"Following our Wedding in New York with a couple of family members we had planned a party back home in England to celebrate with other family members and friends. We wanted to create an Amerian theme amd what better way than to have a Wedding Cake of the Empire State Building. Following extensive research on the internet we came across Rainbow Sugarcraft who had previously created this cake.

All dialogue was carried out through emails or telephone calls and the response was always friendly and prompt.

Although we were unable to meet or taste the cakes we always felt confident with their service.

And so to the party, Rainbow Sugarcraft had to endure a journey almost the full length of the Country but still undertook the task of delivering a stunning cake.

All guests at the party were amazed at the 5ft cake and to top it all the chocolate and lemon cakes tasted fantastic.

Thank you once again for your excellent service and amazing cakes. Ben Shaw"

S'now Joke Delivering Wedding Cakes in Scotland!

It's been a serious business delivering Wedding Cakes this last seven days and today it's snowing again, heavily! Thank Goodness the trusty Rainbow Mobiles have been up to the challenge and once they are dug out they have managed to deliver Wedding Cakes and Croquembouches to Glasgow, Edinburgh, the North of England, Dumfries, Gretna and even Aberdeen.


It's very much the case of keeping an eye on the weather forecast and allowing plenty of time, some Wedding Cake deliveries taking twice as long as normal. So we are really pleased with our 'snow mobiles' but if things get really bad we also have two four by fours on call so even if the guests don't arrive the cake will!

Celebrity Wedding at Skibo Castle


Rainbow Sugarcraft were delighted to be commissioned to create this stunning five feet high cake for the recent Wedding of a beautiful young actress and her internationally famous entrepreneur husband. The venue was Skibo Castle, set on the outskirts of the picturesque Highland village of Dornock, where Madonna tied the knot some ten years ago.

The richly layered Wedding Cake was displayed in the exquisite panelled Library of Skibo Castle, sunlight streaming through the windows to back light over two hundred handcrafted giant sugar roses. The theme for the cake was champagne, ivory and white and each delicate sugar rose was added individually on the morning of the Wedding.

The highly professional and friendly staff at Skibo Castle could not have been more helpful. Cheerful and muscular young chefs and porters were on hand to help us move the multi tiered cakes sections and someone was always available with iced water and encouraging banter to calm the nerves of two occasionally stressed cake decorators.

Final decoration was added with the use of a handy Library ladder, (always wanted to go up one of those!)
Skibo Castle is without doubt exceptional and building this amazing cake in such an outstanding venue has been one of the highlights of our cake decorating careers. Thank you once again to all the staff, from the highly efficient Wedding co-ordinators to the hard working kitchen porters everyone was extremely helpful and friendly; we hope to see you all again soon.
