Wedding Cakes Basingstoke

It's recommended to start your search for wedding cake makers in Basingstoke no less than 4 months prior to your big day, perhaps even earlier if you would like to use the services of a top notch professional. If you know of friends, relatives and acquaintances who've just recently got married, you might as your first option try asking them if they might recommend the wedding cake makers who they used.

A second effective option is to have a look round online, since many local cake designers post photos of wedding cakes they have made, and use this contemporary technology to showcase their products and services. So as to give you a varied choice, its advisable to get in touch with at least 3 or more local Basingstoke cake makers, so you're able to have a peek at their portfolios of wedding cakes and also get an understanding of how confident they are about the important task.

You'll want a cake that both looks awesome and tastes great and doing a tasting is an important aspect of the process. Ask all the wedding cake makers on your list for some samples to try, and have someone you can trust with you to get a second opinion. If you have not already done so, this should help you to come to a conclusion in regard to what type of cake you would prefer.

The choices are countless and together with the cake style ie scalloped, 4 tier, 2 tiered, pillow shaped, round, 3 tiered, heart shaped, single tiered or square, you'll need to settle on the kind of cake ie marble cake, fruit cake, sponge cake, cupcakes, gateau, ganache, sorbet, chiffon or cheesecake.

Another thing to decide will be the flavour of your wedding cake and you could pick from almond, lemon, carrot, coconut and lime, chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, banana, champagne, apple and white chocolate. After that you are able to decide on a filling for the cake, maybe vanilla mousse, pastry cream, chocolate banana, chocolate mousse, dark chocolate ganache, lemon sorbet, buttercream, fresh strawberries, marshmallow fluff, Belgian chocolate, raspberry mousse, lemon curd, white chocolate or mango.

Wedding Cake Sizes - Determining exactly what size wedding cake is required might be rather confusing, though this can easily be resolved by talking to your cake maker, who'll have a simple chart for working out cake sizes depending on specific factors. As soon as you have decided upon the cake style, the cake maker can estimate the tier measurements based on your projected number of guests and the quantity of portions you are looking to pass out.
