Top Tips For Choosing Your Wedding Cake

Top Tips For Choosing Your Wedding Cake - No wedding is complete without a wedding cake, from cutting the cake with you new spouse, the gasps of wonder from your guests to the tradition of saving the top tier for you’re first born, no wedding is complete without a cake.


With costs running into hundreds of pounds you need to make sure your cake compliments your wedding and colour scheme, here are our top tips from The Cherry Blossom Bakery suppliers of wedding cake Doncaster.

• Calculate how many guests you need to serve (including guests that can’t make it but who you would like to send a slice of cake to)
• How many tiers would you like? Are you having a big white wedding, where a tiered cake would be complimentary or are you having a laid back contemporary day which would suit a modern single tier cake or even a cup cake tower?
• Will the cake be the main dessert, be part of a dessert table or an accompaniment to coffee?
• Take time to find the perfect baker. We are well known for wedding cake Doncaster with lots of recommendations; ask your friends and other suppliers such as your venue or dress boutique or florist for their recommendations.
• Research your perfect cake, search the internet, bridal magazines, and use your theme and colour scheme as a starting point for your cake, when you visit your baker take all your research with you.
• Make sure you visit your baker and view their past work, and most importantly a good baker will encourage you to taste their cake.
• Get any agreement in writing including deposit paid and agreed timescales.
• Check that delivery, cake stand and set up is included, if not make sure you get a quote and budget for these extra costs.
As a final tip make sure you order your cake at least 8 weeks before your wedding date, but remember the best bakers often get booked up months in advance. For more ideas for your wedding cake take a look at our blog or our wedding cake gallery.
