Wedding Cakes Hedge End

It is recommended to begin your search for wedding cake makers in Hedge End at least 4-6 months ahead of your big day, maybe earlier if you want to use the expertise of a top notch pro. You may firstly try asking relatives or friends that have just recently been wed to see which wedding cake makers they used and whether or not they'd recommend them.

A second great option is to have a look round online, since a lot of local cake designers post photographs of wedding cakes that they've created, and use this up-to-date technology to advertise their cakes and services. It would be wise speak to at least three local Hedge End cake makers to begin with, to provide you with lots of choice, get an understanding of how passionate they are and have a look at their portfolios of wedding cakes and other work.

Bear in mind, you want your cake to be tasty as well as look good and asking all of your potential cake makers for a tasting is essential. It is good to have a second opinion, so take somebody else along with you when you go to taste samples of their cakes. You will then be happy to choose what type of cake you would like, if you've not already done so.

You will have several choices including the cake design ie four tier, heart shaped, scalloped, single tiered, circular, pillow shaped, square, 3 tier or 2 tier, and the type of cake ie gateau, cheesecake, ganache, sorbet, chiffon, marble cake, cupcakes, fruit cake or sponge cake.

You will also want to pick a flavour, so knock yourself out choosing from apple, banana, lemon, champagne, red velvet, carrot, coconut, almond, white chocolate and raspberry, vanilla and chocolate. After that you can pick out the cake filling, perhaps white chocolate, buttercream, chocolate banana, chocolate fudge ganache, lemon curd, vanilla mousse, raspberry mousse, Belgian chocolate, lemon sorbet, marshmallow fluff, pastry cream, fresh strawberries, chocolate mousse or dulce de leche.

Wedding Cake Sizes - One bewildering aspect of arranging a wedding cake is the size, and really before you decide this you need to meet with the cake maker, since they all have detailed cake charts that help them figure out how many helpings can be cut from specific cake dimensions.
