This tiny bakery in Bristol is unmatchable. Paul, the owner, is a master. He did both a rehearsal dinner cake and the wedding cake for my daughter's wedding.
For the rehearsal cake, he used two adorable doggie (bride and groom) cake toppers made by the...mother of the groom. Paul went above and beyond by adding a wide plaid ribbon with bow and dying coconut green to put under the Scottie dogs. Everyone was blown away, first by the looks and then by the cake itself - a white cake with lemon fruit filling.
Next, for the wedding cake, which was two tiers of red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. Paul asked for a photo of flowers for the colors to be used and the gum paste flowers he created and decorated the top of the cake with only added to the simple, elegant cake, perfectly covered in cream colored fondant. The antique glass pedestal that my daughter chose to display the cake was not steady enough to hold the cake, so Paul went to work adding a foil covered pedestal to make it work. Again, no one could stop raving about the beauty and taste.
The moist, delicious cake, together with Paul's artistic talent make The Cake Gallery the best yet. Unfortunately, I live in New York City, but next time I'm in Bristol, I'll be sure to drop in.More
