Planning your wedding cake
Planning your wedding cake is really exciting but with so many options it can also feel like quite a daunting task! Here are some key considerations:
- What type of wedding are you having? Traditional, contemporary or is there a specific theme?
- How many people do you need the cake to serve? Will it be a dessert, served at the end of the meal with coffee or served in the evening?
- Do you want to keep the top tier for a first wedding anniversary or christening?
- What flavours would you like?
- What shape and colours?
- If tiered, would you like stacked tiers, pillars or a cake stand?
- What decorations would you like? Fresh flowers, sugar flowers, novelty bride and groom, any piped detail?
- It's also worth considering the time of year – fresh, fruity and light cakes may be good for a summer wedding and heavier chocolate and fruit cakes for a winter wedding.
- Will you need to hire a stand?
- Will you require set up and delivery?
