James Eddy Wedding Cake Auction

A unique, artist designed wedding cake is to be auctioned

with all money raised going to ShelterBox

If you are getting married soon and would like an artwork as your centrepiece, this could be the cake for you! Sculpted by James Eddy, artist in residence at Heligan Gardens, it is being auctioned by Experience Wine of Truro on the 21^st June – midsummer’s day.

The project came about as a collaboration between artist and local wine merchant to celebrate the coming wedding season in Cornwall. James was keen to learn traditional cake making techniques from his father, a master baker and patisser, combining these skills with his own artistic vision.  The result is a fantastically rich fruit cake, sculpted and iced to perfection that is also a work of art, full of symbolism and meaning.

“This a wonderful opportunity for a couple wanting a unique and beautiful cake that will not only look and taste amazing, but will be helping a great local charity” says Nigel Ede of Experience Wine.

The cake is currently part of a window display at Experience Wine and will be auctioned by a ‘sealed bid’. If you would like to take this wonderful cake home, please write the amount you wish to bid and your name and contact details in a sealed envelope. Please send to: Experience Wine, Wedding Cake Bid, Toad Hall, 18 Old Bridge Street, Truro, TR1 2AH. The envelopes will be opened on the 21^st June, we will contact the winner the same day. 100% of the money given by the winning bid goes to ShelterBox.
