7 Sweet Tips for Selecting Your Dream Wedding Cake

By Richard Jones

Did you know that wedding cakes can be traced back to ancient Rome, where it was broken over the bride's head as a symbol of good fortune and fertility. Thankfully we moved on since then!


So what makes the Perfect Wedding Cake for Your Big Day?


Discover the 7 Key Ingredients to ensure your dream cake is everything you’ve envisioned!


1. Design

Make sure the cake design complements your wedding theme and colour scheme. Decide on a round, oval or square either in miniature, single tier or multiple tier. It can be a classic cake, modern or even a novelty.


2. Flavour

 Choose flavours that suit your personal taste, as well as your guests’ preferences. This could be Victoria Sponge, Red Velvet, Lemon Cake, Rainbow Cake, Coconut & Lime, Carrot Cake or the very traditional Fruit Cake.


3. Size

Determine the number of guests attending and choose a cake size that will be enough for everyone. Your cake designer will be able to help provide the best size cake for your wedding.


4. Budget

Set a budget for your cake and discuss this with your baker to make sure you are getting the best value for your money


5. Baker's expertise

Look for a baker with a good reputation, who has experience making wedding cakes and is able to produce the design you have in mind. Check out their Facebook reviews and see if they have received any awards.


6. Delivery and setup

Find out if the baker can deliver and set up the cake on the day of your wedding, and if there is an additional fee for these services.


7. Dietary restrictions

If you or any of your guests have specific dietary needs, such as gluten-free or vegan, make sure the baker can accommodate these requirements.
