It's been a VERY busy week! A week of exhibitions, photo shoots and delivering on orders. Although I am very exhausted I am also very happy. On delivering the cupcakes above, I was described as the best cupcake maker ever by the client. They also said that my cakes are too pretty to eat. I hope the cupcakes exceed their expectations and lead to more orders and referrals for Elizabeth's Emporium. I am looking forward to the next few weeks when we'll be making more fabulous cakes so watch this space.
Continuing with the A to Z of Wedding Cakes series:
S for Size or Servings
The size of the cake should ideally be appropriate to the number of guests. So if you are expecting hundreds of guests, for instance, you will need several cake tiers. However, it is estimated that in any average wedding up 30% of your guests might not eat cake. For brides on a budget, to save money, you can be creative by serving the wedding cake as dessert or you can

copy a practice in the Phillipines and parts of China whereby a Styrofoam cake is hired for the cutting ceremony but a plainly iced cake is served to guests.
T for Tastings
Some wedding cakes can be a case of style over substance. It is important that your cake tastes as good as it looks. A good cake maker will offer you a tasting of a variety of flavours of cakes from which you can make your choice. At Elizabeth's Emporium, we offer up to six different tried and tested cake flavours and fillings. We would also suggest that you try and book your tasting session alongside the menu tasting at the caterers or your chosen venue. This will enable you determine which of the cake flavours compliment your menu the best.

Before I sign off, I will like you to please visit http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/bone-marrow/ sign and pass on a petition by the now world famous Adrian Sudbury to the Prime Minister. Adrian's dream before he dies is to change the education policy to require schools/colleges/other institutions to educate students about bone marrow donation. Please find it in your hearts to help make this courageous man's wish become a reality.
Have a lovely bank holiday!
