We received a lovely email from Mrs M Green, mother of  one of our bride’s Liz :

Re the strawberry towers supplied at Patshall Hall 15.10.11 wedding for Liz and Kester.

The strawberries were absolutely superb, admired and enjoyed by the guests. They helped make it a great start to a special day. Many people have asked for your details which have been passed to them.

Thank you again.

We supplied two of our Berry Towers for the wedding of Liz Green at the beautiful Patshull Hall.

Patshull Hall is a grade 1 listed stately home on the Shropshire / Staffordshire border, it was built in 1750 by James Gibbs and the Gardens where landscaped by Capability Brown.

The Hall is approached down a long driveway to a courtyard through a Triumphal Arch, upon entering the house you are greeted by an imposing grand front hall with iconic pilasters, raised wall panels & a beautiful stone fireplace, and an awe inspiring 19th century coved ceiling.

It is here that we placed our two Berry towers alongside the wedding cake, it made an impressive sight when you arrived at the entrance to the Hall.

Once we had finish setting up the Strawberry Towers the owner lit the fire you see in the background , this soon made for a cosy feel to the Hall, i must admit i was a little concerned that the heat may melt the strawberries, but we need not of worried, when we returned to collect the stands after a fabulous lunch at the local Dartmouth Arms pub , the guests were still enjoying the Bucks Fizz & strawberries.

delicious strawberries.

ready for the wedding breakfast.

We managed to pass on our congratulations to Liz, who looked stunning in her bridal gown .

Comments from Liz:

I have to say that the Strawberries looked amazing either side of  the wedding cake as we walked in, thank you so much.

Chocorococo attended the wedding of Melissa Pearson on September 16th at the Bromsgrove Hilton .

Melissa Pearson

Melissa & her mum came to see us at the Holiday Inn Bromsgrove when we attended a wedding fayre there back in January, and loved the deep purple & white favour boxes i had made for a previous customer that were on show, as this was her chosen colour theme of the day she ordered the same for her wedding guests.

She also chose to have the Berry Tower for their drinks reception, which by all accounts was very well received by her guests.

Melissa also chose to have our chocolate fountain to keep all her chocoholic guests happy for the evening .

Want to know what 400+ strawberries look like, then take a look at the photo above. We were asked to provide strawberries & mini cupcakes for 200 guests, to celebrate a wedding for the relative of Miss Needa Patel.

The room decorated in ivory & coral pink, looked beautiful, I’m sure you will agree.

The Chocolate Fountain drew couples to our stand, wanting to taste the chocolate, someone even said they were happy to just stand  and smell the aroma of the chocolate… well, each to their own we say .

Also on display was our Berry Tower , a real winner with our couples looking for something a little different , here are a few words sent to us from a couple who have chosen to have a Chocolate Fountain & Berry Tower package as part of their wedding celebrations next year.

” Thank you for all your help & guidance received on Sunday for our wedding plans, we are both in agreement that the Fountain & Berry Tower were amazing & can not wait to have them for our wedding”

Simon & Katie

Now wouldn’t you like some delicious dipped strawberries for your drinks reception? And how about that temptingly delicious Chocolate Fountain for your evening guests to enjoy?

The day of the wedding fayre was by far the hottest day of the year , the Chocolate Wedding Favours i made melted,  as did we, then the fire alarm went off and we all had to vacate the building, ( just briefly) , but the cupcakes that were made withstood the heat & looked amazing.

Wedding Favour Boxes (c)

Lets not forget the Mini Cupcakes, ideal as wedding favours , the perfect little bite sized treat, various designs , colours , flavours & sizes can be made by my talented daughter & her friend at The White Rabbit Bakery.

We would like to thank everyone who commented on our products, and more importantly who booked us as part of their special day, next year & also later this year….. we look forward to seeing you all again.

 To those who enquired if we will be at the next wedding fayre at The Bromsgrove Holiday Inn, the answer is YES, we will be exhibiting again on October 16th 2011, so if you were unable to see us this time around, be sure to see us in October. We look forward to meeting you.

council house at night

We are pleased and delighted to announce that we have received permission to hold our winning couples wedding & reception at The Birmingham Council House, Banqueting Suite, situated in Victoria Square, Birmingham.

This beautiful grade 2* listed building combines traditional elegance, & the ambiance of the rooms reflect the sophistication & charm of the 19th century.

inside the banqueting suite

The Banqueting Suite has received & welcomed members of the Royal Family, World Leaders, Media & Film Stars, and now our lucky bridal couple will be added to this very privileged list.

Here's one we made earlier!

Well, the day is set and now you face a very long list of requirements for your wedding, one of them will definately be the wedding cake, who do you call? What shall we do? well lets hope i can save a few sore fingers from the endless calls & emails being sent with the following suggestion.

A wedding wouldn’t be complete without a wedding cake, and now there are endless possibilities as to what kind of cake to have. Some companies will offer different flavour sponges for a three tiered cake,(Madeira / carrot cake / fruit etc.) Cakes shaped as suitcases if you are getting married abroad, and having a party for friends & relatives when you get home. Individual cupcakes decorated to match your colour theme, or with photos of the bride & groom on.  Or why not have a go yourself, most supermarkets now sell ready iced fruit & sponge cakes ready for you to decorate in your own individual style, or ask your florist to supply you with some extra flowers to decorate the cake, and finish it off with a colour coordinating ribbon, the possibilities are endless, let your imagination run wild, and get creative.

If all that is too much, give Cassie a call at Passion 4 Cakes , she will give you plenty of advice, and her cakes are stunning too.

And of course, dont forget the chocolate fountain, no need to have further desserts with the cake & all the  yummy dips on offer, you will please the old & young alike, if some of your guests dont want the chocolate, thats fine they can enjoy the fruit & pastries on offer on their own, and leave the chocolate for the chocoholics out there…Mmmmm!    (c)chocorococo
