Wedding Cakes Caerphilly

Your hunt for wedding cake makers in Caerphilly, Wales, should start no less than four to six months ahead of your planned wedding date, and perhaps sooner than this if you want to use one of the really sought after bakers. You can at first try asking relatives or friends who have just recently got married to see which wedding cake makers they used and whether or not they would recommend them.

Make sure you search online for local cake designers, several of them make use of the internet to showcase their creations and you might be able to check out several pictures of wedding cakes they have made. You will want to identify someone who'll be enthusiastic about designing and making your wedding cake, so it is a good idea to get in touch with at least three local Caerphilly cake makers, and don't forget to ask to look at a portfolio of their wedding cakes.

Also, don't forget to have a taste of several of their cakes because you need to ensure that your cake both looks incredible and tastes nice. Ask all of the cake makers on your shortlist for some samples to try, and have a friend with you to get a second opinion. You should then be ready to decide about what kind of cake you really want, if you haven't already done this.

The possible choices are many and varied and along with the cake design ie two tier, square, circular, single tiered, pillow shaped, heart shaped, 4 tier, 3 tiered or scalloped, you will need to settle on the composition of the cake ie fruit cake, marble cake, cheesecake, ganache, sorbet, cupcakes, gateau, sponge cake or chiffon.

Another decision will be the flavour of your cake and you might select from coconut, red velvet, champagne, vanilla, white chocolate, chocolate, apple spice, lemon, banana, almond and carrot. Then you are able to pick out a wedding cake filling, possibly vanilla mousse, raspberry mousse, lemon curd, chocolate mousse, strawberries and cream, lemon sorbet, Belgian chocolate, dark chocolate ganache, pastry cream, white chocolate, hazelnut buttercream, chocolate banana, marshmallow fluff or chocolate cherry.

What Size Wedding Cake? - Establishing what size wedding cake will be appropriate may be a bit bewildering, though this can easily be resolved by chatting to your cake maker, who will no doubt have a useful chart for calculating sizes for cakes based on certain factors. Once you've decided on the style of cake, your cake maker can estimate the tier measurements in accordance with your number of guests and the actual number of helpings you're aiming to hand out.

Wedding Cake Toppers - The final confusing choice that you'll have to make is your wedding cake topper, of which yet again there are plenty. To stand proudly on top of your wedding cake in Caerphilly, pick anything you fancy from bell and bow cake toppers, horseshoe cake toppers, white dove cake toppers, bride and groom wedding cake toppers, butterfly cake toppers, floral cake toppers, word cake toppers, Mr and Mrs cake toppers, pearl cake toppers, novelty cake toppers, personalised wedding cake toppers, crystal cake toppers, funny cake toppers, ring cake toppers, diamond spray wedding cake toppers and diamante wedding cake toppers.
