Cakes

Vanilla Sponge, Fruit Cake, Chocolate Sponge, 2 Tier, 3 Tier, Mixed Tiers, Traditional, Contemporary - CRIKEY!

Choosing, or even designing your Wedding Cake is just as personal a taste as choosing your First Dance or Wedding Dress.

You need to talk to someone who knows, has a great background and bakes cakes that you like the taste of - Oh Yes - you need to taste the samples first........ and lots of them!!

Top Tips

Cake Flavours

Whether you would like to choose fruit, vanilla sponge, chocolate sponge - or infact any flavour really, you need to taste the samples first. Remember that if you are having a tiered cake - you can have different tiers as different flavours, thus being able to cater for most peoples taste.

Design

If you can't find a picture of a cake that you simply must have, why not try and sketch it and talk it through with your cake maker. You will be surprised what you can achieve just by talking it through with someone who knows what is possible - and what is just not!

Flowers

Some cake makers will also have other skills - such as making beautifull flowers and figures from sugar paste. This will not only increase the range of styles and designs that you can choose from, but also that dramatic WOW effect.

Delivery

Don't forget that somehow your cake needs to get to your Venue. There is no point in choosing a cake maker that lives 500 miles away....... too much opportunity for something to get squished in the post!!

Ordering

Make sure that you order well in time - remember that any cake maker worth their salt will be booked up quite quickly, especially if your wedding is during the June - September peak season.

Cake Stands

Does your chosen design require a cake stand? Will you be able to hire it from your Venue or your Cake Maker.....?
