Wedding Cakes Marlborough

A minimum of four months prior to your special day, you should begin searching for wedding cake makers in Marlborough, Wiltshire, and if you are aiming to hire a top professional, perhaps even earlier. If you know of family, friends and acquaintances who have fairly recently got married, you can as a first option try asking them if they might recommend the wedding cake makers who they used.

Make sure you look online for local cake designers, most of them use the internet to promote their services and you should be able to view several pictures of wedding cakes that they have created. In order to give yourself plenty of choice, you need to get in touch with at least three local Marlborough cake makers, so you can examine their portfolios of wedding cakes and get a feel for how passionate they are about the project.

Having a taste of a range of cakes is also crucial as you want a cake that both looks great and tastes great. Ask all of the wedding cake makers on your shortlist for some samples to try, and have someone you can trust with you for a second opinion. If you have not as yet made up your mind regarding what type of cake you would like, this tasting will help you come to a decision.

There will be lots of choices to make, like the composition of the cake ie ganache, sponge cake, sorbet, chiffon, cupcakes, fruit cake, marble cake, gateau or cheesecake, and the design of cake ie scalloped, two tier, single tiered, round, square, four tier, heart shaped, pillow shaped or three tiered.

You'll also need to pick out a flavour, so get creative choosing from chocolate, apple spice, carrot, almond, champagne, vanilla, banana, lemon, coconut, white chocolate and red velvet. After this you can contemplate a wedding cake filling, perhaps white chocolate, vanilla mousse, caramel buttercream, raspberry mousse, pastry cream, chocolate banana, lemon curd, Belgian chocolate, fresh strawberries, chocolate mousse, lemon sorbet, marshmallow fluff, chocolate fudge ganache or cream cheese.

What Size Wedding Cake? - One tricky element of ordering a wedding cake is the size, and before deciding this you must consult with the cake maker, since they have cake charts which help them to calculate what number of portions can be comfortably cut from specific cake measurements. The cake maker will then estimate the tier measurements in accordance with your chosen design and the proposed volume of guests.

Wedding Cake Toppers - The final bewildering choice that needs to be made is your wedding cake topper, of which yet again there are many. To stand proudly on top of your wedding cake in Marlborough, pick anything you fancy from white dove cake toppers, butterfly wedding cake toppers, Mr and Mrs wedding cake toppers, acrylic diamond spray wedding cake toppers, word cake toppers, bell cake toppers, novelty cake toppers, horseshoe cake toppers, crystal wedding cake toppers, personalised wedding cake toppers, funny cake toppers, pearl bead cake toppers, gold ring wedding cake toppers, diamante cake toppers, bride and groom wedding cake toppers and flower wedding cake toppers.
