If you are opting for a bespoke wedding cake remember to book with your chosen cake designer well in advance. It can take a long time to create the cake of your dreams and if handcrafted sugar flowers sugar icing are part of your design this is a time consuming process. The finished product from a professional wedding cake designer is literally an edible work of art and can be as unique in its design as you wish.

In addition to the traditional rich fruit cake, which is ideal if you are sending any to friends and family who cannot attend, you can choose chocolate cake, carrot cake, Madeira, Victoria sponge – the choice is yours! You could consider three or four layers each with a different type of cake to please all your guests, or even individual mini cakes which have become very popular.

It is advisable to choose a wedding cake designer who does not live too far away as the further away your venue the more likely you will be to incur delivery costs and the greater the risk of damage in transit particularly to more elaborate designs. If you have a great cake maker in the family who you intend to use you can often hire cake stands from a professional cake designer who may also be willing to add some extra touches such as sugar flowers.

Most cake designers are happy to offer a free no obligation consultation to discuss your ideas for your wedding cake and take you through photos of their previous designs, as well as sample their product. Visiting local wedding fairs can be a good place to find a cake designer to suit your requirements.
