When to book your wedding cake

January - February is probably the best time to book your wedding cakes. It is the time when your cake designer has the most time for you and your creation, especially if you want your wedding cake to be unique. Get your ideas together; colour samples, flower variety, designs and patterns you like. I get some brides who do everything over the Internet and others prefer the personal contact - either works!
Particularly if your wedding is over the busy summer months (that is from May - October) book your cake now, or else you'll miss out on the cake of your dreams!cake I created this for Katy last year. A simple, elegant design for her wedding day, with trailing sugar Orchids.

Wedding cake designs

I often get asked how I get to my final wedding cake designs. The answer is pretty simple. I discuss with the couple their wedding day; Where is the wedding? A simple question but with lots of answers. Some of the venues are architecturally very intricate and interesting. Art Nouveau and Deco can look wonderful on a cake design. What are you wearing? There are often wonderful patterns and lace designs on wedding gowns. What flowers have you chosen? What is your colour scheme? Do you have any special interests? Designing the wedding cake for a cake designer can be the hardest part, but also the most satisfying. It includes not only the visual, but also the structural design which is not always straight forward. I always enjoy creating a new and unique wedding cake design.
