Traditional English & Nigerian Fusion Wedding
"I loved the cake, it was beautiful! I did send her a lot of images of cakes I liked and those I wasn’t such a fan of, so she knew what style to design. Neither Emmanuel or I like fruit cake, so we decided to have 3 flavours; lemon, victoria sponge and chocolate. It tasted bloody delicious!"

“Our wedding cake was simply extraordinary. I’m a calligrapher and wanted my writing to be incorporated in the design. The plan Aimee came up with, from the initial design to the new techniques used and flawless execution were beyond what we could have possibly imagined. Aimee is an artist and the only person I would trust with any of my future show-stopping cake needs and it tasted just as good as it looked!”

Rachel
Butterfingers Bride 2015
“Butterfingers created the most elegant 4 tier wedding cake for my big day. I asked for a traditional top tier which was a traditional brandy infused fruit cake. The other 3 tiers were vanilla and chocolate sponge with lovely buttercream fillings. The quilted icing and hand piped royal icing was really in-keeping with the the design spec I gave. The topper was from the East of India range and enabled my cake to stand out from others that had been created before. The flowers were added to match my theme and set the cake off fantastically. Butterfingers created my vision exactly how imagined it. I would recommend their services to many other brides to be as the unique creativity at butterfingers is amazing”

Lucie

“We loved our cake from butterfingers it was a real show stopper - but then again there aren’t many of Aimee’s cakes that aren’t. Aimee really went above and beyond, she took the time to understand my vision for our day not just the cake -colour schemes, suggesting potential designs that would suit our tastes and venue. On the day she went one step further in getting our cake set up in the right place, and liaising with our venue directly in order to ensure that many of the details we had discussed in our conversations were fully in place before we arrived. A perfectionist in more ways than one, it was one of the parts of my day I really didn’t worry about, but was equally so excited to see the finished article!”
