“When it comes to the world of confections, Fen and Segun lead the wedding industry with their artistry and talent. They curate meticulous aesthetics in their delectable delights. A true treat!” – said Joy Proctor, a highly sought-after celebrity wedding designer.
We totally agree! And we are obsessed with MonAnnie’s floral cakes. Selected our favorite ones, we asked Fen to tell us about the inspiration behind them. Take a look!

2) Inspired by Ikebana; Icelandic poppies, foliage, and mimosa sugar flowers, paired with rice paper elements- bringing movement and subtle coloured accents. Textural elements on the middle tiers were created to mirror the foliage and flowers, and to provide interest for the eye to explore on a closer look.

5) Fen’s ideas initially came from the delicate buttons and intricate lace detail in the bride’s dress. Paired with a harmony of seasonal sugar flowers and other subtle elements inspired by the couple.

10) The inspiration was an image of a beautiful gown with lots of volume and texture. The model was surrounded by an abundance of blooms- hydrangea and other flowers. It almost looked like the flowers were an extension of the gown.
Fen wanted to capture that essence of texture and dimension on the cake. She did this with handcrafted sugar hydrangeas and wafer paper detail.
