City set for slice of 3D cake craze
Opening will be filmed for store’s new reality show
A CAKE shop which specialises in 3D designs will open its doors in Glasgow tonight.
It will be a chance to view 3D Cakes’ designs for the first time in the city when the Edinburgh-born company opens its new store from 6pm to 8pm in The Italian Centre.
Guests will be treated to a show-stopping launch party, featuring life size cake designs including a handbag, and an electric guitar made of cake.
The company has already created thousands of specialist cakes since it began eight years ago, including a penguin for Edinburgh Zoo and a rhino for Prince William, but tonight’s opening may be their biggest achievement yet – as it will all be filmed for their upcoming TLC reality show.
3D Cakes designer Ian Nevin said: “The entire evening will be filmed for the first episode of our new reality show which will air around November time – it is very exciting.
“The Glasgow shop will open as a normal business where customers can come in and make their orders on Monday but tonight will be a chance to show off what we do.
“We will be focusing on the big, crowd-stopping window displays that we are known for.
“Our cakes push the boundaries and are quite different – we like to think we are in a league of our own.”
Budding bakers will also have the chance to pick up some hints and tips from the creative team members as the shop will run training classes for beginners and for more advanced bakers.
It will also run an on-line store featuring the tools needed for the magnificent bakery creations.
Ian added: “We will be running the sugar craft school out there in Glasgow and we will also be running two-and-a-half hour classes and all-day master classes which have been popular in our Edinburgh store.”
