Wedding Cakes Suppliers

From 4 to 6 months before your wedding you should start researching cake makers and suppliers. This gives you enough time to schedule a cake tasting before the big day; this is a wedding planning rite of passage you can't miss!

With cake makers getting ever more creative, you can choose from an endless selection of cakes. If you're looking locally, of course your options may vary or be more limited, but you are sure to find a cake that satisfies your tastebuds as well as your eyes. The most typical styles you'l find are tier cakes and then differently shaped cakes, such as round, oval, square, rectangular and more. In terms of cake flavours you can find fruitcake vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, carrot cake, lemon, fudge, rum cake and so many more. And finally, you'll decide on a filling, which is traditionally almond paste, but there are countless options available.

A few factors to keep in mind when choosing your wedding cake are: the style of the cake, the flavour of the cake, the cake topper and cake decorations, and your budget. The number of guests is of less importance, because typically, cake makers will bake an additional cake or several cakes to serve to your guests and the cake you choose will be either for display only, or you can save it, or you can serve it to your closest family or friends.

Besides the fact that you'll surely need more than one cake to feed all of your guests, some couples decide to choose more than one type of wedding cake so as not to limit themselves to just one flavour or style. This is a great compromise if you can't decide or can't agree on a single wedding cake. Some couples choose a bridal cake and a groom's cake to personalise each cake to both partners.
