Palais des Vaches – Exbury, New Forest

Your Hampshire Dorset Wedding issue 90

A new art gallery and events venue based in the New Forest featuring local artists’ work.

In December 2021 I had a wonderful opportunity to be involved in a wedding shoot working alongside some talented wedding suppliers showcasing one of my unique cake designs.

This shoot was also featured exclusively in the 90th edition of Hampshire & Dorset Wedding Magazine.

Bronze Cake International Virtual Competition Wedding

OV028 Certificate

I am delighted to have been awarded Bronze in the Cake International Virtual Competition Wedding category of 2 tiers or more.

This was the second Cake International virtual competition where my 6 images of my 3 tier Wedding Cake design was judged by a team of esteemed judges.

A quote from Head Judge David Close had said that the judges were overwhelmed by the number and impossibly high standard of entries.

Well done to everyone who took part in the world’s most exciting sugarcraft and cake decorating competition.

I’ve been featured on the Dorset Biz New website following my Large Wedding Cake win at The Cake Profressionals’ 2020 awards. Here is a snippet from the article:

“Winning awards is a piece of cake for Bonita Elms – and her business is just eight months old!

The talented mum-of-three only launched her wedding cake business – Bonita Bakes – last July and she’s already won national and regional contests.

Her latest success came when she scooped the Large Wedding Cake of the Year category at The Cake Professionals’ 2020 awards.

More than 150 cake professionals, and their supporters, travelled from across the UK to attend the awards at the Reading FC Conference and Events venue in the Madejski Stadium.

Entrants were from registered UK custom cake businesses and all cakes entered had to be genuine commissions, enjoyed by clients in the past year.”
