Pink and gold wedding cake by Lois Little Cake & Chocolate Co.

In 2015, cake maker Debbie Fenton opened a small boutique bakery producing celebration cakes and cupcakes after leaving her career in local government. Her story started like so many others baking and creating cakes for friends and family until her work became so popular the shop was the next step. Since then, Lois' Little Cake & Chocolate Co. has gone from strength to strength, employing two other full-time cake designers and producing edible works of art for a range of high-profile clients.

Six years of hard work and a pandemic later, the business is expanding into a larger premises in Sandbach. The design and creation of wedding and celebration cakes will remain at its heart, but with extra floor space, the team can now offer a tea room experience.  

The Grade II listed premises boast a myriad of original features and offers a wonderful environment for afternoon tea. All of the edible treats served will be baked fresh on site and washed down with tea from a well-recognised merchant, Eteaket. For coffee lovers, a local Cheshire-based coffee roasting company will also be creating its own artisan brand and handmade chocolates by Belgian and Holland will still be available.

What’s more, a private dining room will be accepting afternoon tea bookings for parties up to 12, great for your hen party. Doors to the new store will open on Tuesday 16th November, ready for Christmas, with a planned official opening organised for Saturday 22nd January, 2022.

Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
