The weekend saw me delivering another wedding cake to a wedding at The Ritz hotel on Piccadilly. It’s such a wonderful hotel. Opened in 1906 by the Swiss hotelier Cesar Ritz, it was designed to resemble a stylish Parisian block of flats. Mr.Ritz personally managed the hotel’s operations for many years. The high standards to which he held his staff and luxury which provided his guests had previously been entirely foreign to Victorian Londoners, and the sensation he caused in the hotel industry began a change in the industry’s focus.
I was supplying the cake for an intimate wedding reception in the hotel’s William Kent room. The William Kent House was renovated and opened in 2006 as an extension to the hotel and has a wonderful function area including the Burlington room, the William Kent room…
and the Queen Elizabeth room..
Although I’ve been here quite a few times now I was thinking to myself, whilst setting the cake up, that it is always such a treat to see the room’s opulence up close and personal and that I’m lucky to have these opportunities while supplying some of the best hotels in London. I remember first seeing this room whilst watching the film’ The September Issue’, Anna Wintour (editor-in-chief of American Vogue) was having a meeting and I remember thinking that it was an amazing room that I had no idea existed within the walls of the Ritz Hotel and there I was standing there myself!
So here is a picture of the lovely little sparkly cakes I delivered, I think I might have to think up a reason to book out the room myself! You can book weddings at The Ritz here!
