The cakes, which are available to view and order from 1 November, take guests through a delectable journey from spring to winter.

"While this year's collection is quite eclectic in style, we wanted to maintain a unifying element of timeless, classic beauty," said Marie.

"Many couples, while enjoying the unique statement element of our couture cakes, are very drawn to traditional shapes and designs."
