Wedding cakes have come a long way since the Roman Times when they were round plain wheaten cakes broken over the heads of brides as a symbol of fertility and goodness. Nowadays, ‘the cake’ often takes centre stage at any reception and there is so much choice out there available to a modern bride, both in terms of design and content. Hopefully this A to Z guide from the Queen of Cakes, will provide you with very useful information and ideas on what to expect.
A for Advice
Seek advice from a variety of sources such as other brides, venues, wedding fares, other vendors and leading national and local wedding publications. However, word of mouth is still the best way of finding a talented cake maker to help translate your ideas into reality.
B for Baker
Get the names of a number of recommended bakers, ring them up, check out their websites and pay them a visit. Write down any questions you might have and feel free to ask away. Also, remember to take your other half along once you’ve narrowed your choice down, especially for the tasting, which should be free of charge or at least included in the cost of your cake.
