Choosing a Wedding Cake.

Whilst the bride and her dress play the central role in the wedding, when it comes to the wedding breakfast, all eyes will be on the cake.

It's for this reason that most brides prefer a unique wedding cake that will be admired and remembered by every guest - a cake that looks fabulous and tastes delicious.

But choosing a wedding cake isn't just about design and taste; several other factors need to be taken into account when deciding on the wedding cake that best suits your needs.

A well-made and bespoke wedding cake isn't cheap but there are ways of keeping the cost down. One way is to choose a sponge cake rather than the traditional fruitcake, or perhaps have one sponge cake tier and the other fruitcake?

Not only will you be cutting costs, you'll also be able to please those guests whose tastes don't extend to rich fruitcake.

Also consider how importance of a bespoke wedding cake is to you. A good wedding cake supplier will be able to customise an otherwise standard wedding cake design to match your theme colours, making the cake unique to you, without the added cost of designing a cake from scratch.

How many guests will be attending the reception?

If the wedding's small, a two tier cake will give up to 30 servings, while either a three-tier or four-tier cake can serve up to 100 guests.

Do any of your guests have a serious allergy?  Gluten intolerance and nut allergies are the most common and can easily be worked around by making one gluten or nut free tier.

Please remember that your wedding cake should be chosen and ordered as soon as possible. Rich fruit cakes need many months to mature and elaborate decoration takes time to be properly planed and executed.

Most import is to communicate your requirements to your cake designer she will be able to help with advice and experience in ways you might have overlooked.
