The A to Z of Wedding Cakes

Moving on from the excitement of our collaboration with Wedgwood (yay!) we are continuing our series on the A to Z of Wedding Cakes.

C for Chemistry

Just like any other relationship, no matter how talented a cake designer is, there should be a positive chemistry between both of you. He or she should be finely attuned to your requirements and should be able to guide and steer you in the right direction, making helpful suggestions on possible designs, flavours and fillings.


D for Design, Decorations and Dietary Requirements

If you don’t have a particular cake in mind, or even a photograph, make a collage of all the things that inspire your style and take it along to your cake maker. In terms of the cake decorations, a talented cake designer can match the details on your wedding dress for instance or the exact colour of your bridesmaid dresses if you provide a swatch of the fabric. Let the cake maker know your favourite cake flavour but also be open to trying out as many cake flavours as possible.
If you are vegan, vegetarian, have certain dietary requirements or allergies, please let the cake maker know, so he or she can accommodate this. It is possible in these times to have great tasting and looking cakes that suits every dietary requirement.
