Wedding Cakes Houghton Regis

It is advisable to begin your search for wedding cake makers in Houghton Regis not less than 4-6 months ahead of your big day, maybe even earlier if you would like to hire the services of a top pro. You might initially try asking relatives or friends who've fairly recently been wed to see which wedding cake makers they used and whether they'd recommend them.

Looking online is another great method, with local cake designers in Houghton Regis promoting their creations on social media platforms such as Pinterest and Facebook, as well as on their own websites, by posting photographs of their wedding cakes. You should not plump for the very first Houghton Regis cake maker that you come across, it's always best to speak to at least three or four bakers so that you can guage their passion for the project and get an idea about their abilities from seeing a portfolio of their work.

You will expect a cake that both looks good and tastes good and doing a tasting is an important part of the process. Ask for some samples to taste and take someone else with you, so you're able to get a second opinion. This should also help you to establish precisely what kind of cake you want, if you've not by now come to that conclusion.

There'll be several choices to make, including the cake design ie three tiered, heart shaped, four tier, square, pillow shaped, two tier, single tiered, circular or scalloped, and kind of cake ie cheesecake, sorbet, ganache, gateau, marble cake, cupcakes, sponge cake, fruit cake or chiffon.

The next factor to decide will be the flavour of the wedding cake, some of the various choices include apple spice, coconut and lime, carrot, red velvet, vanilla, lemon, white chocolate, almond, banana and walnut, chocolate and pink champagne. After this you are able to pick out a wedding cake filling, possibly pastry cream, chocolate mousse, dark chocolate ganache, buttercream, strawberries and cream, marshmallow fluff, lemon sorbet, raspberry mousse, Belgian chocolate, white chocolate, vanilla mousse, chocolate banana, lemon curd or chocolate cherry.

What Size Wedding Cake do I Need? - One baffling element of ordering a wedding cake is the size, and really before deciding on this you might want to talk to the cake maker, as they usually use detailed cake charts which help them estimate just how many servings can be comfortably cut from certain sizes of cake. Armed with a figure for your number of guests and your design of cake, the tier sizes to provide you with the requested amount of portions can be calculated by the cake maker.
