Faye Cahill’s Dulwich Hill studio.
Taste sample box.
Naughty! Christina couldn’t wait for me…
Yesterday I got up with a rude migraine headache. Yes I did drink a couple of glasses of red the night before, I was also feeling a little sick (maybe one of the sick boys at the BMU/MCC bike night passed on the flu?), in any case we had some important stuff to do today so I soldiered on.
First up was wedding cake shopping. Our wedding florist, the wonderful Susan Avery suggested that we see Faye Cahill for a wedding cake. We sussed out Faye’s web site and liked the more simple designs she had on there so we booked in a meeting (that was a month ago now). The pouring rain + my headache put me in a pretty grumpy mood, but once I saw Faye’s little studio I snapped out of it. A really cool little set-up, basically you walk right into her kitchen, the sights and smells were awesome.
We checked out a book of hers and pretty much picked out a cake design we loved straight away. We’ll need Susan Avery to do a little magic to finish the cake off, but I’m sure that won’t be a drama. Faye left us with a sample box containing samples of cake flavours as well as filling flavours, we’re both in agreement on which flavours we’d like for our cake, too easy!
Next up we headed west to pick up our new Russian Blue kitten Maxy! Pics are on the way :)
Good choice in seeing Faye for the wedding cake. She made ours and it was awesome! It was so good that our event manager at the reception venue asked us for her details after because his kitchen staff said it was the best cake they ever had, so he wanted to make her a recommended partner for his new clients.
i used to live down the road from her shop and would drool every time i walked past. everything looks so gorgeous in there (and really well presented)!
We chose Faye Cahill for our wedding cake too back in ’07.
Chose Love Birds and it was just gorgeous.
Only regret was that I should’ve manned up and chose the Orange Poppyseed flavour rather than the safe Vanilla.
