Wedding Cakes Bournemouth

It's a good idea to begin your search for wedding cake makers in Bournemouth a minimum of four to six months ahead of your big day, maybe even earlier if you wish to use the expertise of a top pro. As your first option when trying to find wedding cake makers, you could try requesting recommendations from family, friends and acquaintances who have just recently been wed.

Many cake designers make use of the internet to showcase their services, so make certain you check online for local bakers who've posted photos of wedding cakes they've produced. It would be wise get in touch with at least three or four local Bournemouth cake makers at first, to give you plenty of choice, get an understanding of how passionate they are and examine their portfolios of wedding cakes and other work.

You'll expect a cake that both looks amazing and tastes nice and doing a tasting is an essential aspect of the process. When you are going to taste some cake samples take another person along with you who is able to offer a second opinion. This will also help you in figuring out precisely what sort of cake you want, if you've not by now made up your mind.

There will be quite a few choices to make, for example the cake style ie scalloped, pillow shaped, circular, heart shaped, 3 tiered, single tiered, square, four tiered or two tiered, and composition of the cake ie gateau, sponge cake, cheesecake, cupcakes, marble cake, sorbet, chiffon, fruit cake or ganache.

A further consideration will be the flavour of your cake, make a choice from champagne, apple, banana and walnut, coconut and lime, lemon, white chocolate, almond, chocolate, vanilla, carrot and red velvet. After that you can pick the wedding cake filling, perhaps you fancy buttercream, raspberry mousse, chocolate fudge ganache, chocolate banana, lemon sorbet, fresh strawberries, German chocolate, vanilla mousse, chocolate mousse, pastry cream, marshmallow fluff, white chocolate, lemon curd or tiramisu.

Wedding Cake Size - One tricky element of arranging a wedding cake is the size, and before you establish this you must talk to the cake maker, as they usually have cake charts which help them work out how many portions can be comfortably cut from certain cake dimensions. Once the design of the cake and the volume of guests is known, the cake maker will be able to estimate the tier sizes to provide the required volume of portions.

Wedding Cake Toppers - The final bewildering choice that you'll have to make is your wedding cake topper, of which again there are many.
