Big Day Bakes


When planning your wedding cake, remember it is not about having all the answers right at the start. Cake makers are here to collaborate with you and to bring your vision to life. We love a good cake chat, so let's work together as a team to create the perfect bake for your day. Don't forget - the cake cutting is a special moment so let's ensure it's a showstopper!


Consider whether you are serving the cake as dessert or with the evening buffet; this helps you work out the size you might need to ensure there is enough for loved ones whilst avoiding waste.


When researching companies, keep in mind that all cake makers have their own style. So, look around and draw up a shortlist of your favourites. Book a consultation and ask lots of questions. A good supplier should take time to answer any concerns or queries.


Most couples opt for a round cake, whilst square and shaped bakes can be more expensive. Set a realistic budget and let your chosen cake maker know upfront from what they have to work with. There are many different flavours to choose from, so don't feel you need to stick to 'safe' options such as classic vanilla sponge.


My biggest piece of advice is to enjoy the process. This is your wedding cake, a symbol of your love and commitment, so have fun with it, explore different options and remember - it's all about you and your beau. Stay true to yourselves and enjoy every stop of the cake journey.
