Deciding what design wedding cake to go for can be a daunting and sometime confusing choice. To help you through the process of designing your dream wedding cake, here are a few pointers to help you on your way:
Checkout my Wedding Cake Gallery for some inspiration.
Before you decide what size wedding cake you want you need to bear in mind how many people will be attending your wedding, would you like cake for those who are not able to attend and make sure you have enough to go round. The chart below is for a cake serving of 2" x 1" for sponge and 1" square for fruit. Decide on how many tiers you need and size for each tier. A typical 3 tier wedding cake somes in a 6", 9" and 12" for large and feeds around 150 people. A small 3 tier wedding cake comes in 6", 8" and 10" and will feed around 100 people.
If you are not sure which size to go for then just give me a call or come and see me and I will help you decide on a size suitable for you.
