Wedding Cakes Willingdon

No less than four to six months before your special day, you need to begin looking for wedding cake makers in Willingdon, East Sussex, and if you are aiming to hire a top notch pro, perhaps even sooner. As a first option when hunting for wedding cake makers, you could ask for recommendations from relatives or friends that have recently been wed.

Hunting online is another great option, with local cake designers in Willingdon advertising on social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, as well as their own websites, by posting images of their wedding cakes. In order to give you plenty of choice, it would be wise to speak to at least three or four local Willingdon cake makers, so that you can check out their portfolios of wedding cakes and also get an understanding of how enthusiastic they are about this project.

Having a taste of a variety of cakes is also important as you want a cake that both looks amazing and also tastes great. Ask all the bakers on your list for some samples to try, and have a friend or relative with you for a second opinion. This should also help you to determine precisely what kind of cake you want, if you have not by now come to a conclusion.

There will be various choices to make, such as the cake design ie two tiered, square, single tiered, scalloped, 4 tiered, pillow shaped, circular, heart shaped or three tiered, and type of cake ie fruit cake, cupcakes, sponge cake, marble cake, gateau, cheesecake, ganache, sorbet or chiffon.

You will also have to pick a flavour, so get creative choosing from lemon, chocolate, apple, white chocolate and raspberry, banana, red velvet, almond, coconut and lime, carrot, pink champagne and vanilla. After this you can pick the filling, do you fancy white chocolate, fresh strawberries, vanilla mousse, dark chocolate ganache, chocolate banana, pastry cream, lemon sorbet, Belgian chocolate, raspberry mousse, lemon curd, chocolate mousse, buttercream, marshmallow fluff or mango.

Wedding Cake Sizes - One rather confusing part of choosing a wedding cake is the size, and before deciding on this you will need to speak with the cake maker, since they have cake charts that help them estimate what number of helpings can be comfortably cut from certain measurements of cake. Once you have settled upon the cake style, the cake maker can determine the sizes for the tiers based on your number of guests and the total number of portions you're intending to pass out.
