Wedding Cakes UK

It's recommended to start your search for wedding cake makers in the UK not less than 4-6 months before your big day, maybe earlier if you would like to employ the expertise of a top pro. If you have friends or family members that have just recently got married, you can as your first option try asking them if they might recommend the wedding cake makers who they used.

Don't forget to check online for local cake designers, a lot of them make use of the internet to showcase their products and you might be able to look at some images of wedding cakes they have created. So as to give you a reasonable choice, you should get in touch with at least three local UK cake makers, so you're able to check out their portfolios of wedding cakes and get an understanding of how enthusiastic they are about your important task.

You will expect a cake that both looks good and tastes good and doing a tasting is an important part of the process. It is smart to have a second opinion, therefore take someone with you when you need to taste some samples of their cakes. You may then be happy to choose what type of cake you would like, if you haven't already done this.

There'll be a number of choices to make, like the type of cake ie fruit cake, gateau, marble cake, chiffon, cheesecake, sponge cake, ganache, sorbet or cupcakes, and the design of cake ie 3 tiered, circular, scalloped, 4 tiered, heart shaped, square, single tiered, pillow shaped or two tiered.

You will also need to pick a flavour, so get creative choosing from red velvet, pink champagne, white chocolate, almond, banana and walnut, carrot, vanilla, lemon, chocolate, coconut and lime and apple. Next you can think about a cake filling, maybe you fancy chocolate banana, chocolate ganache, hazelnut buttercream, lemon curd, lemon sorbet, chocolate mousse, fresh strawberries, white chocolate, Belgian chocolate, raspberry mousse, marshmallow fluff, vanilla mousse, pastry cream or cream cheese.

Wedding Cake Size - One bewildering part of choosing a wedding cake is the size, so before deciding this you might want to meet with the cake maker, since they all have cake charts that help them calculate exactly how many helpings can be comfortably cut from specific dimensions of cake. Once you've settled on the cake style, your cake maker can easily calculate the tier dimensions in accordance with your predicted number of guests and what number of slices you are aiming to hand out.

Wedding Cake Toppers - The very last confusing choice which has to be made is your wedding cake topper, of which once again there are many. To stand on top of your wedding cake in the UK, pick one you fancy from butterfly wedding cake toppers, funny wedding cake toppers, Mr and Mrs wedding cake toppers, horseshoe cake toppers, flower wedding cake toppers, novelty cake toppers, dove wedding cake toppers, bride and groom wedding cake toppers, gold ring wedding cake toppers, pearl bead cake toppers, crystal wedding cake toppers, message wedding cake toppers, bow and bell cake toppers, diamante wedding cake toppers, personalized cake toppers and acrylic diamond spray cake toppers.
