Cake making is an art. Of course, we can all whip up some passable fairy cakes, and if we’re feeling a little daring, might even be able to push the boat out to a Victoria sponge – but there are very few amongst us who have the skill to not only design and construct a multi-tiered wedding cake, but to decorate it with pizzazz and flair. And although alternatives to the traditional cake – such as individual cakes for every guest, doughnut walls, and sweet tables – have become more and more popular in recent years, our wedding cakes are not going anywhere yet! Thanks to the following bakeries and cake shops, an eye-catching and impressive cake is going to remain a staple part of the wedding (and of course, that infamous tasting session that we all look forward to)! So get inspired, and choose your cake maker today!
