Wedding Cakes Great Dunmow

Your hunt for wedding cake makers in Great Dunmow, Essex, needs to begin at least 4 or 5 months prior to your wedding date, and possibly sooner than that if you would like to use one of the really sought after bakers. If you have family members or friends that have just recently got married, you can as a first option try asking them to recommend the wedding cake makers who they used.

You can also check online for websites promoting local cake designers, you should easily be able to see pictures of their wedding cakes on their individual websites and also on social networks for example Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. You shouldn't plump for the first Great Dunmow cake maker that you track down, it is usually better to speak to at least three bakers so that you can assess their passion for the project and get an idea about their ability from seeing a portfolio of their work.

Having a taste of a range of cakes is also important since you want a wedding cake that both looks great and tastes great. Ask for a few samples to taste and have someone else with you, so that you can get a second opinion. You might then be ready to decide about what sort of cake you want, if you haven't already done this.

The possible choices are countless and along with the cake style ie heart shaped, square, three tiered, round, pillow shaped, 2 tiered, scalloped, 4 tiered or single tiered, you'll have to decide on the kind of cake ie fruit cake, cheesecake, gateau, cupcakes, chiffon, marble cake, ganache, sponge cake or sorbet.

A further consideration is the flavour of the cake, choose between carrot, almond, vanilla, coconut, red velvet, lemon, white chocolate and raspberry, pink champagne, banana and walnut, chocolate and apple. Then you are able to think about a filling, do you fancy chocolate banana, chocolate mousse, pastry cream, white chocolate, chocolate ganache, caramel buttercream, raspberry mousse, lemon sorbet, marshmallow fluff, strawberries and cream, vanilla mousse, German chocolate, lemon curd or chocolate cherry.
