Wedding Cakes Barking

Your hunt for wedding cake makers in Barking, Essex, needs to start at least 4 months prior to your planned wedding date, and possibly sooner than this if you would like to use one of the really popular bakers. If you have relatives or friends who have fairly recently been wed, you might as a first option try asking them if they can recommend the wedding cake makers that they used.

Be sure to check online for local cake designers, quite a few of them use the internet to showcase their services and you will likely be able to look at plenty of examples of wedding cakes that they've created. So as to give yourself a varied choice, it would be wise to speak to at least three or four local Barking cake makers, so you can examine their portfolios of wedding cakes and get an understanding of how passionate they are about this important task.

Having a taste of an assortment of cakes is also imperative because you want a cake that both looks awesome and tastes wonderful. It is smart to have a second opinion, therefore take someone else with you when you want to taste some samples of their cakes. If you have not already decided, this might also help you make up your mind about what type of cake you would prefer.

Another thing to decide will be the flavour of your wedding cake and you might pick from carrot, vanilla, banana and walnut, almond, chocolate, apple spice, pink champagne, lemon, red velvet, white chocolate and coconut and lime. After that you are able to choose a filling for the cake, do you fancy hazelnut buttercream, white chocolate, pastry cream, chocolate mousse, strawberries and cream, vanilla mousse, raspberry mousse, chocolate ganache, Belgian chocolate, marshmallow fluff, lemon curd, chocolate banana, lemon sorbet or Bailey's Irish cream.
