Wedding Cakes Hitchin

A minimum of four to six months prior to your special day, you'll want to begin searching for wedding cake makers in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and if you are planning to hire a top professional, perhaps even sooner. Speaking to friends or relatives who have just recently been wed is generally a great idea as your first option, you can ask them about the wedding cake makers that they used.

A second effective method is to have a peek online, because many local cake designers post examples of wedding cakes they have created, and use this contemporary technology to advertise their cakes. You mustn't settle for the very first Hitchin cake maker that you find, it's normally better to make contact with at least 3 or more people so that you can guage their enthusiasm for this important project and get an idea about their proficiency from viewing a portfolio of their work.

You will also want to taste their various cakes as you will be expecting your wedding cake to taste just as good as it looks. It's nice to have a second opinion, so take somebody else along with you when you want to taste some samples of their cakes. If you have not already decided, this could also help you come to a conclusion about what type of cake you want.

You'll have several choices for example the composition of the cake ie sorbet, cheesecake, sponge cake, marble cake, fruit cake, gateau, ganache, cupcakes or chiffon, and the design of cake ie circular, 4 tier, three tier, square, single tiered, pillow shaped, scalloped, 2 tiered or heart shaped.

You'll also need to decide on a flavour, so knock yourself out choosing from lemon, almond, coconut and lime, red velvet, white chocolate, banana, chocolate, apple spice, pink champagne, carrot and vanilla. Then you can select a filling, maybe chocolate mousse, raspberry mousse, pastry cream, lemon sorbet, marshmallow fluff, vanilla mousse, white chocolate, fresh strawberries, chocolate banana, lemon curd, dark chocolate ganache, hazelnut buttercream, Belgian chocolate or cookies and cream.
