The wedding cake; an essential, beautiful and delicious part of any wedding celebration. Long gone are the days of ordering a simple, white wedding cake. Nowadays, wedding cake designers, and couples, think miles outside the box when it comes to creating spectacular designs most of which feature wedding flavours that are anything other than sponge. Ahead of your wedding, speak to the team at your wedding venue in regards to the location of where your wedding cake could stand, and if there are any restrictions as to the style of wedding cake you can order.

Your wedding cake will more than likely be offered to your guests either throughout your wedding celebration or to take home in a box at the end of the night as a memento to eat on the journey home.

If you only have the budget to order a small wedding cake design, but want to have enough cake to go around…consider buying cutting bars; ordinary bars of cake that can be cut up behind the scenes. Alternatively, if you love the idea of a huge wedding cake but don’t have the guest numbers, consider faux (polystyrene) tiers.
