Naming Day Cake






It's always lovely to get repeat business, though possibly not something you should expect when making Wedding Cakes! Erin and Sean married several years ago and came back to us for baby Genevieve Rose's Naming Day Cake. The wild rose flowers were an obvious choice and as Erin and Sean are both Biologists they asked us to include a selection of 'cute' bugs.

We've just received this message and some lovely photographs...

"We loved the cake! It was beautiful (a real show stopper) and tasted heavenly (no one believed it was gluten free.) Genevieve was fascinated by the cake and had to be held back!! We had a wonderful day, Genevieve was on good form and the whole day was made even more special to have one of your cakes in another family celebration..."

Spring Wedding Cakes

Our vibrantly coloured 'Spring Wedding Cake' seems to have finally heralded the arrival of Spring in Scotland. Decorated with a cascade of beautifully shaded sugar daffodils, tulips, gerbera and freesias it was a real eye-catching design.



After the deluge of snow we suffered last week we're hoping brighter days now lie ahead for a long summer of sunshine blessed Wedding parties and more gloriously decorated Summer Wedding cake designs.

Comlongon Castle Wedding Fayre



Our last Wedding Fair for the Spring was at Comlongon Castle, one of the loveliest venues near Gretna. The Fayre was very well attended and also saw the opening of the most stunning luxury honeymoon Lodge at Comlongon; surely a once in a lifetime experience for any one who stays there.


We took along ten new cake designs as well as some novel cookie place name favour ideas. One of the most eye-catching Wedding Cakes on show was the Ribbon Cascade. The cakes are simply finished with twists of ribbon and decorated with either fresh or silk flowers in any choice of colour scheme.


The day flew by, we were so busy chatting to brides about their Wedding Cake ideas and taking bookings and there was the usual lovely atmosphere for which the Castle is so well renowned. So well done to all the Team at Comlongon for hosting such a successful and enjoyable event.

Another Happy Customer!



To all at Rainbow Sugarcraft - especially Jamie. Just wanted to say a huge "thank you" for your help in getting me the masses of "stuff" I ordered to make my sister's wedding cake, for getting it all to me on-time and for your help and advice along the way. I love baking, but am by no means any kind of expert, so making something so important was a bit of a challenge (as was the 8 hour journey, by car-train-car.) It won't measure up to the fantastic confections pictured on your web-site, but here's a a photo of the finished article.


The hotel managed to lose the sugar spray (genius), so I've just been onto your site to order a replacement. I also managed to drum-up another order for you at the wedding. One of the other guests happened to mention (as you do) that he was trying to find a Champagne Sabre, so I was able to direct him to you since I'd seen one on your site whilst I was looking at the cake knives. Anyhow, thanks again, for a truly one-stop shop for all my cake making needs and for that most rare of things... proper old-fashioned good personal service. Jamie, you're a star.
