Cakes are a very traditional  celebration symbol for parties, events, christenings, anniversaries and of course weddings. You can get just about any flavour, design, and size, meaning you can really have something special for your event. 

Here are some of the basics you need to think about before asking for a quote from our cake makers:  

1. Flavours: Cakes come in a wide range of flavours to suit all tastes. Some popular flavors include chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, carrot cake, lemon, and strawberry. More exotic flavors such as matcha, lavender, and earl grey have become increasingly popular in recent years.  What is it you’d like for your wedding or event?

2. Designs: Cakes can be decorated in many ways to suit the theme or style of the event. Some popular cake designs include fondant cakes, buttercream cakes, naked cakes, drip cakes, and floral cakes. Cakes can be customised with various colors, sweets, macarons, patterns, and designs to suit any occasion. This is great if you’ve got a theme or set colours for your wedding or party – you can really go for it!

3. Sizes: Cakes come in many sizes, from small individual cupcakes to large multi-tiered cakes that can serve hundreds of guests. This will make a difference to the cost of your cake.  The size of the cake will depend on the number of guests, the occasion, and the budget. You can also create cakes that are made up a smaller cupcakes, macarons or profiteroles that lend themselves easily to sharing with your guests. WHat style do you want?

4. Wedding Cakes: Wedding cakes are a traditional centerpiece for many weddings. They are often multi-tiered and decorated with flowers, fruit, or other embellishments to suit the wedding theme. Many couples choose to have a small cake for cutting and a larger sheet cake to serve guests. Cutting the cake can be a big part of the celebration and your entertainment schedule. Make sure you add time in for this wonderful part of your day – it’s a really great time for family to take photos.

5. Party and Event Cakes: Cakes are a British institution! But you can go really big or opt for a smaller less expensive option for parties, such as birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events, christenings and graduations. They can be customised to suit the theme or style of the event and can be decorated with the guest of honor’s name or age. 

6. Customisation: Many of our cake suppliers will offer custom cake options, allowing you to choose the flavor, design, and size of your cake. Custom cakes can be decorated with edible images, logos, or personalised messages to make them unique to the occasion. They make great corporate goodie bag items for guest to take away with your brand on them.
