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!
