Wedding Cakes Halesowen

At the very least 4-6 months ahead of your special day, you should begin searching for wedding cake makers in Halesowen, West Midlands, and if you are expecting to hire a top pro, maybe even earlier. Chatting with family members or friends who've fairly recently got married is always a great idea as your first option, you can ask about the wedding cake makers that they used.

Looking online is another great option, with local cake designers in Halesowen promoting their products on social networking platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, as well as their own websites, by publishing shots of their wedding cakes. Make it your mission to find someone who will be enthusiastic about designing your wedding cake, therefore it's a wise idea to get in touch with at least three local Halesowen cake makers, and don't forget to ask to see a portfolio of their wedding cakes.

You'll expect a cake that both looks great and tastes great and doing a tasting is an important element of the process. Ask for some samples to taste and take somebody with you for this, so that you can get a second opinion. This should also help you in deciding exactly what sort of cake you would like, if you have not already come to a conclusion.

There will be several choices to make, such as the composition of the cake ie cheesecake, cupcakes, marble cake, sponge cake, gateau, ganache, fruit cake, sorbet or chiffon, and the style of cake ie heart shaped, circular, square, scalloped, pillow shaped, single tiered, four tier, three tiered or 2 tier.

You will also have to pick out a flavour, so get creative choosing from banana, coconut and lime, red velvet, carrot, almond, lemon, white chocolate, pink champagne, vanilla, apple and chocolate. Next you can select the filling for the cake, perhaps strawberries and cream, marshmallow fluff, vanilla mousse, pastry cream, German chocolate, lemon sorbet, raspberry mousse, lemon curd, white chocolate, caramel buttercream, chocolate fudge ganache, chocolate mousse, chocolate banana or mango.

What Size Wedding Cake? - One tricky aspect of arranging a wedding cake is the size, and before establishing this it is advisable to check with your cake maker, because they usually have cake charts which help them work out exactly how many servings can be cut from certain cake dimensions.
