Mandy Black at Cake International

In a recent article; 'Rebrand for Mandy at Elmsleigh Cakes', we announced that renowned Milford on Sea cake designer and baker, Mandy Black had been personally invited by Paul Bradford, to be part of his display at Cake International, the biggest cake show in the world.

Paul Bradford is a holder of the prestigious Disciples D’Escoffier award, and one of the world's most respected cake designers.

We also announced that Mandy had recently rebranded her company from Elmsleigh Cakes to Amanda Black Cakes to reflect the individuality of her sophisticated bespoke cake designs. 

Well, the Cake International Show took place last weekend at Birmingham NEC and we thought you might like to see her delightful, and exquisitely detailed, cake entitled 'Baby Elephant'.

Mandy is now back to reality in the village, and taking booking for traditional Christmas fruit cakes, or sponge cake alternatives. All of which are available in sizes 4 inches to 8 inches, and will be available for collection Christmas week. 

During this year we sadly lost our cheese shop in Milford on Sea village, and it is worth cheese lovers knowing that Mandy does Celebration Cheese Towers using a selection of specialty cheeses. These make a great centrepiece and can also be ordered in time for the festive season.

Christmas Eve Cookie Boxes are in their design stage. Numbers will be limited, so if you think you might like to order these you will need to be quick!
