Wedding Cakes Wickford

It is a good idea to begin your search for wedding cake makers in Wickford at least 4 months ahead of your big day, maybe even earlier if you would like to hire the expertise of a top notch pro. You can initially try asking friends or family members that have fairly recently been wed to find out which wedding cake makers they used and whether or not they'd recommend them.

Do not forget to look online for local cake designers, the majority of them make use of the internet to promote their creations and you might be able to view several images of wedding cakes that they have created. It would be sensible get in touch with at least 3 or 4 local Wickford cake makers at first, to give you lots of choice, get an understanding of how passionate they are and have a good look at their portfolios of wedding cakes and other products.

You'll also need to taste their cakes because you want your wedding cake to be tasty as well as look good. When you are going to taste some cake samples take another person along with you who can supply a second opinion. This will also help you to establish exactly what kind of cake you would prefer, if you have not by now made up your mind.

The possible choices are countless and as well as the kind of cake ie ganache, cheesecake, marble cake, gateau, sorbet, chiffon, fruit cake, sponge cake or cupcakes, you'll need to settle on a style ie pillow shaped, heart shaped, scalloped, single tiered, 4 tier, square, 3 tiered, circular or 2 tiered.

The flavour of your cake is another thing you'll need to decide, alternatives might be lemon, coconut, apple spice, carrot, banana and walnut, red velvet, pink champagne, white chocolate and raspberry, almond, chocolate and vanilla. Then you are able to choose a cake filling, maybe you would like white chocolate, chocolate banana, chocolate mousse, dark chocolate ganache, pastry cream, marshmallow fluff, vanilla mousse, hazelnut buttercream, Belgian chocolate, raspberry mousse, fresh strawberries, lemon sorbet, lemon curd or Bailey's Irish cream.

Wedding Cake Size - Deciding on exactly what size wedding cake is required could be a bit tricky, though this can be easily solved by a quick conversation with the cake maker, who will use a nifty chart for determining cake sizes according to different factors. As soon as you've settled upon the cake design, the cake maker can easily estimate the dimensions for the tiers based on your expected number of guests and the total number of portions you're going to give out.
