Love is sweet with Yorkshire wedding cake designer Grace Eva Cakes

A wedding cake by Grace Eva Cakes

Like so many of us, 2020 has been a turbulent year for award-winning cake designer Grace Eva Cakes. It started with excitement as Grace planned to open her first premises in the Georgian Quarter in Beverley, but the pandemic soon hit. Not only has she been on-call to reassure her lovely couples whose weddings have been postponed (and provide them with a complimentary biscuit box!) but she has also had to postpone her own wedding, which was due to take place in May.

"I'm now excited to meet couples in the shop for consultations," Grace says. "We'll offer modern wedding cakes, bespoke celebration cakes, biscuit boxes and cupcakes. My style focuses on contemporary design, elegance and personality, incorporating tall tiers, clean lines and delicate sugar art."

What advice does Grace have for other couples who have had to postpone their wedding? "Try to enjoy your would-have-been special day," she says. "We asked our guests to take a photo of themselves raising a toast that we put in an album. On the day, we celebrated with lots of fizz, and we even attempted making our wedding meal! What's a year when you have the rest of your lives together?"

Women want a personal engagement ring not an expensive one

New research suggests a shift in how women approach one of the most traditional luxury jewellery purchases, with 75% saying they want an engagement ring to prioritise personal meaning over size or value. A study of 1,353 UK women carried out by 77 Diamonds* found that 75% say they would prioritise a personalised engagement ring over a larger or more expensive diamond. What seems to stand out is not a complete rejection of convention, but rather a rebalancing and reassessment of value. 59% of women say their preference still leans towards traditional ready-made ring designs, and only 11% want an entirely custom-made piece But the emotional drive behind preferences and purchasing decisions does appear to be changing with 30% expressing a desire for rings that carry additional meaning through small modifications, engravings or design adjustments.
