Wedding Cakes

When I first started baking cakes I always had Wedding Cakes in Mind, maybe because I am a big fan of weddings and I think there is nothing better than having a Beautiful Wedding Cake Stand on your special day. However, I could never have imagined the amount of work that goes into a Wedding Cake until I got started. I have made a couple of wedding cakes and it’s very enjoyable. It is quite interesting that we always have a picture of a Wedding Cake in mind but we “kind of forget about the flavours”. Maybe this is because the first impression we get from a Wedding Cake is the visual ”Wow factor”. But is that all we want from a Wedding Cake? Surely not!

So here is my advice!

I have to admit, I was so nervous when doing my first Wedding Cake. I didn’t think that I could put out the cake, but I got there!

Some couples are more relax than others. However, we can’t generalise that they are all the same - I get brides that know what they want for their big day inside out, whilst on the other hand, some don’t mind at all! So in this business you have to be ready to deal with both types of clients. Regardless of the type of person you may be, there are so many details to gather to get the “Perfect Wedding Cake”, so the most important advice is getting on the phone and chatting with the designer. You might have already a design in mind or you might have no idea and are looking for inspiration. Regardless of which boat you fall into, don’t be afraid to share your thoughts (or lack of!) with your cake designer. A couple of ideas back and forth can often help you land on a design that suits your big day.

Also, I would always recommend you have a tasting box. You certainly want to make sure that your guests will not just think your cake looks beautiful, but tastes beautiful too! We can usually provide you with three or four popular options, or indeed anything specific you might prefer. A tasting box is just that - it is all about the flavour and what you want your cake to taste like. So don’t worry about how the cake looks in the tasting box and focus on the flavours. Once you have picked your perfect flavour, we will ensure it looks perfect on your big day!

So for your big day, don’t be afraid to get in contact with us . Ask lots of questions (we love them!) and don’t forget the flavours!
