Fast moving weekend at Sweet Stuff Society this January. A big commission came in from Audi in Beckenham as part of their VIP weekend on the 26th and 27th January 2013.

Following a face to face consultation with the dealership manager we came up with some great ideas for their corporate cupcakes. First off and most important was the fact that the cupcakes had to be totally in keeping and follow the renowned Audi brand. That meant Black, White and Red as a colour scheme

Audi chose to book with Sweet Stuff Society because of our previous experience with corporate cupcakes and corporate clients. We have worked for major brands such as Deloitte through to smaller dot coms like R.O.EYE and AffiliateFuture.

Our Corporate cupcakes are topped with images that are printed by our own kitchen onto edible paper and therefore we can create and design – with our specific cake topper software – images, logo cupcakes, picture cupcakes and recreate edible photos.

Drop us an email or make an enquiry if you need an edible image and keep an eye out in the store for when we start selling these direct.

Entries have closed.

The votes are in.

The voter data has been ‘crunched’ in line with the judging process and the shortlists have been produced…

…and Sweet Stuff Society has made it!

As a relatively new local business specialising in bespoke cake design for weddings, birthdays and special occasions. Sweet Stuff Society was shortlisted for the prestigious award after receiving the votes required from a number of previous clients. With a judging panel that includes such well respected names as cake legend Peggy Porschen, Miranda Eason the Editor of You & Your Wedding magazine and Sky News Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson we are hugely proud of their nomination.

The Wedding Industry Awards are the only independent, national wedding awards in the United Kingdom and are voted for solely by past-clients of the wedding supplier who has been nominated. This real customer base alongside the rigorous judging process ensures that the results of these awards have real meaning for both the entrants and anyone who is organising a wedding and looking for the very best wedding suppliers for their big day.

With a team of unmarried staff, the Sweet Stuff Society team were unaware of The Wedding Industry Awards until we received an email in early October from one of our summer brides saying she had nominated us. Once listed, we were fortunate that a number of other brides (and grooms) completed the voting process and once all entrants were collated Sweet Stuff Society was proud to be shortlisted for Best Wedding Cake Designer as one of only thirteen in the entire London and South East region, as well as being one of only two shortlisted in the whole of the Borough of Bromley and the County of Kent.

To put it mildly, we are very happy with our nomination and over the moon at being on the shortlist. Judging takes place over the next two months with the winner announced at the lavish awards night at the Bloomsbury Ballroom at the start of January. We hope that everything goes well and that Sweet Stuff Society put Beckenham on the Wedding map as being home of an award winning wedding cake maker and wedding cake designer!

Wish us luck! You can read more about the shortlisting here at The Wedding Industry Awards website

The cake decorating classes are suitable for all skill levels – cupcake decorating classes will cover all types of skills including flat topped, domed, sugarpaste and piped buttercream covered cupcakes.

You will leave with 12 amazing cupcakes and the knowledge and skills to recreate yourself time and time again! Everything from tools to materials, as well as fresh baked cupcakes are provided.

The next cupcake decorating class will focus on Christmas cupcake decorating and we have an excellent new range of Christmas cupcakes which we will show you how to make so don’t delay – book up now before we sell out! Spaces are limited and the classes promise to be very popular.

Other incredible classes that we will offer include ‘An Introduction to Cake Decorating’. This introductory class will teach you how to level, split and fill your cake with buttercream, crumb coat and perfectly prepare and cover your cake and board in sugarpaste. You will be introduced to florist paste and make your own spray to top your cake and go home with your beautifully decorated cake in your own colour scheme. You will leave the class with a fantastic starburst cake which will not only look great but it will be lovely to eat! All tools, materials and cake will be provided.

The final cake decorating class available to book at present is an awesome class where you will decorate your very own Christmas Cake! You will learn the professional way to cover a fruit cake with marzipan and sugarpaste to achieve a perfect finish. Once you have covered the cake we will set about decorating it using a range of different skills and techniques. This is a fun, full day class with a variety of different cake decorating tips that can be applied to many other decorated cakes. You will leave with a fully decorated Christmas Cake to enjoy with your family over the Christmas period – which you have decorated and created yourself! Book the Decorate your Christmas Cake course here.

There will be many, many more courses coming over the next few months and these will include cake pop courses and more advanced techniques that can be applied to all types of cake decoration.
