Wedding Cake Designers
02/05/2009 - By Rose West This is the bit where it is actually okay to be a bit obsessive about choosing your wedding cake. Are you the traditional type of the three tier, white iced fruit cake, or are you a decadent bride...

Serendipity Cakes specialize in chocolate wedding cakes, offering a combination of unique and contemporary cake designs. Are you a family girl, who plans to rope your mum into making your wedding cake? Or are you the quirky, bohemian type who wants an eye brow raising design with a riot of colour that will be a talking point for your guests? You have several decisions to make when choosing your wedding cake, but the number of guests and size of your budget are important factors.
If you want a bespoke wedding cake then there of plenty of options. We love the little Venice cake company, Gordon Ramsay has described her as "The Bentley of Cake Makers" and Pierce Brosnan says she is “an exceptionally gifted artist”Amato wedding cakes based in London, Amato specializes in creating unique wedding cakes, which look stunning and taste delicious. Enjoy your day and let Amato do the work.
Peggy Porshen is a supplier to Fortnum & Mason who have commissioned her to create some of their seasonal ranges of hand decorated cakes and cookies to adorn their shelves & hampers. She is a regular contributor to various magazines, such as You & Your Wedding, Brides, Wedding Day, Marie Claire, and her work has appeared in many more.
There is always plenty of call for the traditional fruitcake with marzipan and ivory icing which will never go out of fashion. Sponge cake is an increasingly popular choice, with a vast array of flavours to choose from which you can ask to taste before any decisions are made.
For something very modern try cake modern. From concept to consumption each cake is baked, designed, hand-crafted and painted by me to suit the individual or the occasion. Described as “works of art” I like to think they taste as good as they look too!
You can go for a zingy lemon and poppy seed, moist carrot, light vanilla or rich chocolate. Then, of course there is an equally large and versatile choice of coverings, from icing to American frosting or chocolate curls. This can be decorated with fresh fruit, flowers. Select your colour, flavour, shape, and size for a totally unique and personal design. For cake sculptures try Kathy Scott, Kathy works from her studio in rural Norfolk, she works mainly in beautiful raw silk and mixed media to create sculptures of accentuated form.
Once you have chosen your wedding cake designer, a tasting session and consultation should help you ensure that your ideas are workable and will give you the opportunity to explain exactly what you want. An incredible amount of work and detail is involved so it is best to get it clear. It’s also worth remembering that, unlike a fruit cake, a sponge will not be made weeks in advance; your cake designer will discuss the time frame that you need for your particular wedding cake.
