Wedding Cakes Ideas

There are literally hundreds of wedding cake ideas available to today’s bride and groom. With so much choice it can be hard to pin down your ideas and make a decision.

Do you decide on tiers or just a flat cake? How many people has it to cater for? Do you want fresh flowers or spun sugar flowers? Will the time of year effect your choices? The questions are almost endless. Fortunately with so many wedding cakes available everyone can get a wedding cake to suit their requirements.

Three tiers are traditional and so is royal icing. Most bakers will require that your order be placed a couple of months in advance and it would be advisable to give a little extra time so that it can be perfected.

The top of your cake can also be as unique as you are! Snowmen in winter, fresh flowers in spring or a couple on a Harley… its up to you.

Once you are ready to order your cake try out a few bakers by tasting what they can do. Look at pictures of what they have already done, ask if they can fulfill your requests if you are looking for a custom cake, find out when they will bake and ice your cake and once you have decided, get it all in writing. If it goes wrong on the day then at least you will have what they said they would do in black and white!

Did You Know?

The wedding cake comes from an ancient custom in which the bride ate a piece of simple cake. It was traditionally made from flour and water and it expressed the hope that they would never lack the basic necessities of life.
