Konditor and Cook Valentine’s designs

Another sugarcraft showcase on Maison Cupcake – today it’s the turn of Konditor and Cook.

Konditor and Cook were my nemesis en route to work in my former life. I couldn’t pass their Holborn branch without buying one of their muffins for breakfast!

If I tell you Peggy Porschen previously decorated cakes at Konditor and Cook that gives you a clue to their style. They’re most well known for their individually iced fondant fancies which are showcased here amongst their 2014 Valentine’s collection.

A lot of love has gone into decorating these cakes so pull up a chair and eat with your eyes…

15 signature Konditor and Cook hand-decorated Magic Cakes are presented in a luxury red letter box spelling out your Valentine’s wish, sure to put a twinkle in your recipient’s eyes.
