Up until now, I thought that finding someone to design and make our Wedding cake would be the easiest part of our wedding arrangements - so it wasn’t high on my priority list. Suddenly, one day I realised that nothing had been done about said cake. Yes, Bridezilla was back! I got into action and called around a few local cake makers. Luckily, Andy mentioned that his aunt decorated cakes, so I was straight on the phone to her and I was so relieved that she agreed to sort out the cake for us! I trawled through the internet and loads of wedding magazines looking for pictures of cakes to cut out and take with me. I realised that I knew what I didn’t want, rather than what I did - well, at least it was a start! I picked loads of pictures out, and then went through them with Andy, to make a short(er) list of possibles. There weren’t any pictures where we liked the entire design, but there were a few elements of different cakes which we could use. There are so many different types and styles of cakes, right from the traditional to ones that don’t even look like they’re made out of cake! If like us, you don’t know what you want, you need to go to a cake maker who can make a wide variety of styles, who has lots of ideas and who isn’t afraid to share them with you. Andy isn’t too keen on fruit cake, so we decided to have one tier sponge and two tiers fruit. We’re sticking with tradition and keeping a top tier. We didn’t want anything too traditional looking, but equally we didn’t want anything too quirky. I really fancied a fairytale castle, but Andy saw that idea in the same way that I saw his Harley Davidson Motorcycle idea!! As we haven’t chosen the exact flowers that we are having yet, we’ll decide on the cake decoration nearer the time. At least we now have the cake in place. Phew!
