Member of The British Sugarcraft Guild NVQ Qualified Slatterys trained at the Slatterys School of Excellence in chocolate celebration cakes Are you in the process of planning your wedding? If so, one very important but also very fun tasks is choosing the wedding cake. The key is to choose a cake that reflects your personalities, one that falls within your budget, and a cake that takes and looks great. We can help you from the choosing to the finished design. All our cakes are made and designed to order we NEVER reapeat a design, so you can assure you have the only cake around! Designed especially for you and you day. Choosing your cake is nowdays as important as brides wedding gown!! The cake is the second most noticed and talked about thing in the wedding. Even if you plan to serve guests other desserts, you still want the cake to shine. You need to start with a budget. If your wedding is exceptionally large, you can have a large wedding cake made for the bridal party and immediate family and then choose separate cutting cakes, purchased in addition, for the rest of the guests. This is an excellent way to stay within your budget while still providing all the guests with a delicious piece of cake.
In addition to embellishing the icing, cakes can be embellished with a number of things. For instance, consider having sugar roses created on the cake. If you choose flowers, again remember that exotic flowers such as orchids or hibiscus will cost more. You could have sugar paste flowers instead, which are very beautiful, lifelike and delicate, Then, instead of a traditional cake topper, you might choose a nice, floral spray that will drape down the sides of the cake delicately.
Finally, try new flavors. With so many incredible choices available, you can mix things up by having different layers being different flavors. For the guests that like a traditional cake, one tier could be chocolate, or maderia. However, for the more adventurous guests, you could have layers of banana cake, choc fudge, with fillings such as, Champagne fudge, and many others.
We hope this information inspires you, we can create any magical cake for your event, from the traditional to the imaginative, and those who dare to be different!! Our designs are truly bespoke, although we have an extensive portfolio and display for you to browse at you leisure, with you chance to meet us in person to discuss your needs. Starting from just £99 The Wedding Cake traditions and beliefs The Wedding Cake is a very ancient tradition which today forms a focal point at the reception. It is a custom steeped in history and occurs in many cultures in one form or another. The Romans had a cake made out of flour, salt and water which was eaten whilst the ceremony was in progress.
Tiered and iced confection was introduced to Britain from France after the Restoration in 1660. The shape of the modern three tiered cake is associated with the spire of St. Bride's Church in the City of London.
In bygone times it was the custom, probably as a relic of former fertility rites, to throw many small cakes over the bride, this later evolved to crumbling cake over the bride's head.
Cutting the cake is now part of the ritual celebrations at the reception. It is traditional for the Bride and the Groom to make the first cut in the cake together, symbolising their shared future.
The Groom places his right hand over the right hand of his bride, her left hand is then placed on top and she places the knife point at the centre of the bottom tier of the cake and slowly cuts the cake, helped by the groom. Tradition dictates that the couple should then cut a slice and share it between them.
The Bridesmaids keep their slices and place them under their pillows that night in the belief that they will dream of their own future husbands.
Another tradition that has evolved is that of preserving the top tier to celebrate the christening of their first child. Interesting eh??
