I had ordered my wedding cake from FV last year and it was absolutely beautiful in detail but being the bride, I was so busy I never actually managed to eat my own wedding cake (I heard it was amazing however), so I ordered a birthday cake for my daughters birthday party yesterday and it was the most amazing cake I’ve ever eaten!!
