Becca's blog of heavenly bites: Dee Vinci Cakes works of art you eat

Ok, so I have been meaning to do another blog on interesting business and people who do incredible food creations, Waterford has a lot of incredibly talented cake makers and could probably talk about all of them and very well may do just that however this week I have chosen to speak about Dee Vinci Cakes.

I have known Deirdre for many years. We went to the same school she always was quiet artistic, fun and friendly. I have admired her work and really enjoyed watching her talent grow over the years. She takes such pride in her cakes, makes bespoke stands, creates new flavors often using her friends to be tasters. A job I have often enjoyed part taking in! Creations such as white chocolate with strawberry and mint which was featured on the top tear of our wedding cake. A wedding cake lots of people are still talking about.

As some of you may know, wedding planning is sometimes very difficult, so much to consider and talk about. I have to say I am one incredibly blessed person that so many of my friends are as talented as they are and that they accepted to be part of our very special day.Dee did so by making our incredible cake. Myself and wonderful husband pondered on the wedding cakes question for awhile. We would never of course have an ''normal'' cake we would need something different and truly us. My husband is a Batman fanatic, comic books in general but Batman is in fact his favorite and me well everyone knows i have a soft spot for Hello Kitty, so we decided lets do it let have the quirkiest wedding cake. Hello Kitty batman themed wedding cake.
Then came the hard part which flavours would we like???

I have to say one of my favorite of Dee's cakes is her red velvet, she sure knows how to balance the flavours and keep it extra moist. but as it was a wedding we decided to go the more original route. No fruit cake thank you very much, we will have Belgian choc biscuit cake. The top layer was strawberry and mint white choc biscuit cake. The middle was white choc and coconut cake and the bottom was choc caramel biscuit cake all divine. I have to admit the coconut choc one is my favorite but they where all superb in there own special ways.

More recently i asked Dee for a birthday cake for an 8th birthday. Marceline the vampire princess from Adventure Time in red velvet. I will post pictures of this cake also. I have tried to use dee anytime a big birthday was needed. I commissioned a HR Gieger birthday cake one year for my friends 21st this was also amazing will try find a picture of this one also as it looked more like a ceramic then it did a cake. it was unbelivable.

Below find her flavors gallery but think big give the girl a challenge or her talent will be wasted
