The Wedding Cake is the focal point of the Wedding Reception

 

Prominently displayed for all to appreciate, the Wedding cake is usually carefully coordinated with the colours, design of the Wedding dress, flowers and any Wedding  decorations or Wedding colour theme for the day.

Ceremonies just wouldn't be the same without the cutting of the cake.

 

You can choose to have all fruit, all sponge, or fruit and sponge cakes of different tiers and different flavours.

 

Cakes can be stacked or you can make a smaller cake ‘stand out’ by using pillars, separators, or choose from a range of elegant cake stands

 

In the assembly of a stacked fruit, sponge or combination of the two, the fruit cake does not have to be the bottom tier.

 

Rich Fruit Cakes do not necessarily need to be matured and can be baked to order within a week subject to time availability.

I use the freshest ingredients, locally sourced where possible.  My fruit cakes are enhanced with Napoleon Brandy and I make my own delicious almond paste (marzipan).

 

All cakes are baked to order and Sponge Cakes, to be as fresh as possible, are only made a few days before and during the week of your Wedding or Event.

 

Here are a few quick points to help you out when your thoughts turn to Wedding cakes;

 

Set your budget first - once you have an idea of how much you can spend, you can start talking to Wedding cake designers about what you want.

 

Choose whether you want traditional rich fruit cake or contempory sponge cake or a combination of the two

 

Think about the type of filling you want for your Wedding cake.

 

Decide whether you will let people take the slices away with them or serve it as dessert.

 

Book your cake plenty of time in advance of the Wedding

 

You will need to have as good an idea as possible of the number of people you will be catering for.

 

Above all else - make sure you choose what you want - it's your Wedding day remember!
