Wedding Cakes Swansea

A minimum of four months before your special day, you'll want to begin searching for wedding cake makers in Swansea, Wales, and if you are planning to hire a top notch professional, maybe even earlier. If you know of friends or family members that have fairly recently been wed, you might as your first option try asking them to recommend the wedding cake makers who they used.

Searching online is another great method, with local cake designers in Swansea promoting their products on social media like Facebook and Pinterest, as well as their own websites, by posting images of their wedding cakes. It would be advisable get in touch with at least 3 or more local Swansea cake makers initially, to provide you with plenty of choice, get a feel for how passionate they are and have a good look at their portfolios of wedding cakes and other cakes.

You should also taste some of their cakes because you'll want to be certain that your cake both looks great and tastes great. Ask for some samples to taste and take someone else with you, so as to get a second opinion. If you've not already made up your mind about what type of cake you want, this tasting should help you come to a decision.

There will be lots of choices to make, for example the kind of cake ie ganache, fruit cake, sorbet, gateau, marble cake, cupcakes, sponge cake, chiffon or cheesecake, and the style of cake ie square, pillow shaped, heart shaped, scalloped, round, single tiered, 3 tiered, 2 tier or 4 tiered.

You will also have to pick out a flavour, so knock yourself out choosing from white chocolate and raspberry, chocolate, pink champagne, coconut, red velvet, vanilla, almond, apple, banana and walnut, lemon and carrot. Following this you should pick a wedding cake filling, possibly lemon sorbet, chocolate banana, strawberries and cream, raspberry mousse, pastry cream, German chocolate, lemon curd, chocolate ganache, white chocolate, hazelnut buttercream, vanilla mousse, marshmallow fluff, chocolate mousse or cookies and cream.

Wedding Cake Sizes - Deciding on what size wedding cake you need can be rather baffling, but this is easily sorted by a quick conversation with your chosen cake maker, who'll use a simple chart for determining cake sizes according to various factors.
