 1. Think about your budget
Fondant iced cakes, elaborate designs and sugar flowers all look beautiful on a cake, but take note that any or all of these elements will no doubt increase the cost of your cake. Dummy cake tiers whilst a really good idea to add height and grandeur to your cake design, will not reduce costs by much. The reason for this is that the dummy tiers still have to be decorated in harmony with your cake design and will take as much time as it would to decorate a real cake. So it is more to do with the time taken to decorate rather than the cost of the cake itself. 2. Choose the flavours YOU like It is so important to make sure that you are happy with the flavours of your cake because you want it to be enjoyable and memorable for all the right reasons and not because one person loves fruit cake! Choose the cake flavours that you like and not what everyone else wants. We offer Cake Tasting Boxes with 3 of our most popular flavours (with the option of additional flavours), so that if you loved every single flavour you tried, you could go ahead and have a flavour for each tier! 3. Consider your cake design AFTER you’ve made wedding style decisionsOnce you have decided on the main wedding style decisions such as the venue, wedding dress, colour scheme and flowers, then it is a good time to think about your cake design. This is because you can draw on each of these details to help decide on what sort of cake you’d like and feel would compliment your style. In the end, it is your wedding and every decision you make should be one that will make you both happy. Whilst there is nothing wrong in wanting your guests to be happy too, it should not detract from what you want or be at the cost of your own happiness. When you look back on this special moment, you want it to be filled with pleasant memories you'll remember forever! Bianca x
Everyone knows that weddings are expensive and trying to keep to a budget can be a challenge. Your venue, catering and honeymoon (if you are having one) has eaten a large chunk of your budget and you want a beautiful cake, but do not want to blow the rest of your budget on it. What can you do? How can you keep your cake costs down? Well here is some insider advice.
 Photographer: Emma Tarn Photography Flowers provided by: Windmill Flowers This can be a tricky one to decide. Do you adorn your cake with fresh flowers or sugar flowers? In this article I am going to guide you through the different things to think about, so that you will be able to make a decision and be happy with it.
 The cake design you've chosen is beautiful and the cake tastes absolutely delicious. How do you know? Because you booked that all important cake consultation and tasting. At your consultation you would have discussed set up of your cake and how you'd like it displayed, but for those of you who want to get some ideas beforehand, this article will help you with that.
 When it comes to budgeting for your wedding cake, it can be difficult to set aside a specific amount of money. Most cake makers create bespoke cakes that are specific to their customers requests, so prices will inevitably vary. Having a good idea of what you want will get you off to a good start, but if you don't, these can be discussed at your cake consultation.
If you do know exactly what you want, do not hesitate in finding the cake maker who can do this for you. Generally, they require at least 6 months notice, and some months are typically busier than others so will call for more notice to be given. Try to give your cake maker as much information as possible about your ideas so they can give you an accurate quote. If you have expensive taste and love the idea of cascading sugar flowers, intricate piping details or tiers that reach the ceiling, be prepared to spend. The more time consuming and detailed the design is, the more it will cost. Don't forget to ask about delivery charges and equipment hire as you will need to factor these in also. All in all, make sure that you have the cake that YOU want, but also that you've set an affordable budget. If you don't mind compromising on specific details to reduce the cost, that's fine but make sure it's a cake you're going to love!  You’ve set the date, you’ve booked your venue, the caterers are in place and it’s down to the details that will make your wedding unique - the cake.
