Wedding Cake Information

Wedding Cake service information


Every wedding cake I create is important to me and special to you I pride myself on a first class, friendly service to help your day run smoothly, therefore I do limit the amount of wedding cakes I create, so as to give quality time to your order. More and more brides are ordering their wedding cake well in advance, therefore at least 6 months notice is advisable, especially for cakes required between April & September- the busy wedding months. Wedding cakes with less notice can sometimes be accommodated depending on my work schedule. Also go to hints & tips for wedding cake information Consultations Consultations are by appointment only- either at weekends depending on wedding cake deliveries or weekday evenings from 6pm onwards. Please contact me to arrange a no obligation visit to my studio to discuss your requirements.

You may like to consider the following aspects regarding your wedding cake before visiting, but if you are unsure about your design, thats fine, i have plenty of pictues for you to look through for inspiration Design & Style of your Wedding Cake Classic, romantic, humorous, wacky- the choice really is yours Cake Shape Round, square, heart, hexagon or wonky - to name a few, or maybe a tower of cup cakes or individually iced cakes. Cake Set Up Would you like a traditional cake set up on pillars, or a more contemporary style, with a cake frame or separators inbetween the cake layers, or you can opt for an american style stacked cake. Alternatively, how about a yummy chocolate wedding cake, which can be set up in a number of ways and decorated with handcrafted chocolate decoration and served as a pudding. Special Personal Aspects Touches of your reception colours added to the design can complete the look you are aiming for, or are you considering handcrafted bespoke sugar models, or maybe a family heirloom within your design. Fresh Flowers If you are considering fresh flowers for your wedding cake, i will be happy to set it up at the venue for your florist to finish the decoration side of things Important note: please be aware that some flowers are not suitable as a decoration for wedding cakes, due to toxins or moisture damaging the cake icing, so it is always best to check with your florist.
