Here at The Vanilla Pod Bakery, we absolutely adore creating wedding cakes for couples celebrating their special day at the stunning historic Cripps Barn in Gloucestershire. It's a venue that perfectly complements our style of baking – elegant, rustic, and always with a touch of magic!
Cripps Barn, with its beautiful stone walls, exposed beams, and incredible setting, provides a truly enchanting backdrop for a wedding. And for us, it's a joy to craft a cake that not only tastes incredible but also harmonizes perfectly with the venue's unique charm.
Our Most Popular Cripps Barn Wedding Cake Styles
We've had the pleasure of creating many wonderful wedding cakes at Cripps Barn over the years, and we've noticed a few styles that truly shine in this setting:
Semi-Naked Cakes with Fresh Blooms or Fruit
A firm favourite for Cripps Barn weddings is our semi-naked cake. This style, with its delicate hint of sponge showing through a thin layer of buttercream, perfectly embodies rustic elegance. We love to adorn these cakes with seasonal fresh fruits – think berries in the summer or figs in the autumn – or beautifully arranged fresh flowers that tie in with your wedding bouquet. The natural beauty of these elements truly pops against the barn's organic aesthetic.
Vintage Inspired Lambeth Cakes
For those who dream of a wedding cake with a touch of old-world romance and intricate detail, our vintage-style Lambeth cakes are a wonderful choice. These cakes feature delicate piping work, often in beautiful pastel shades, creating a truly show-stopping centrepiece. Imagine the soft glow of the barn lights catching the intricate details of your Lambeth cake – simply breathtaking!
Beyond the Cake: Dessert Tables Galore!
While the wedding cake is undoubtedly the star of the show, many of our couples at Cripps Barn love to offer their guests an array of additional sweet treats. Our dessert tables are always a huge hit, providing a delightful spread of handcrafted goodies.
We often create dessert tables featuring an assortment of:
• Cupcakes: Perfect for individual servings, and we can customise them to match your wedding colours and theme.
• Decadent Chocolate Brownies: Rich, gooey, and utterly irresistible – always a crowd-pleaser!
• Delicious Biscuits: From elegant shortbreads to intricately decorated sugar cookies, these add a lovely personal touch.
A dessert table not only offers more variety for your guests but also creates a beautiful visual display, adding to the overall celebratory atmosphere of your Cripps Barn wedding.
