The Wedding cake, whilst a thing of beauty and fantastic taste, is often a thing of expense. A typical Wedding cake can cost literally anything from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand pounds - and we ain’t kidding!
Lots of couples each year will ask a relative or friend to make the cake and can save a substantial amount of money this way, but the majority will enrol the help of a professional or buy a pre-designed style from a local shop. But who to choose? Well it isn’t as simple as you may think at first, so hopefully the following information will help you make this crucial decision.
Asking a Friend or Relative
The chances are that you will have a close family friend or relative who is always baking, creating fantastic cakes and every time you go round to visit them, you come back 2lbs heavier - but my, it was worth it!
Making cakes is a talent that not everyone has learnt or can master, and you really should ask yourself if your Auntie Betty has the same level of skill as the professional cake maker with a stand at a Wedding Fair. The chances are that the answer is ‘no’, but that need not matter.
The best piece of advice we could give you is to choose the design of your cake (at least in principal) first and foremost and then, and only then, go out and track down the person who is going to make it. Now Auntie Betty may well be able to make 75% of the cakes you suggest to her, but if your cake is one of the 25% that are beyond her abilities, then your only options are to look to a professional or radically change your design plans. Budget allowing, we would strongly recommend the former.
