The Traditional Cake

A traditional wedding needs a traditional cake. The classic design started with the wedding of Queen Victoria, where the white icing that we know and love was first used – earning in the name ‘Royal Icing’

Choose if – You want a crisp, traditional wedding cake that keeps excess decorations to a minimum. 

Naked Wedding Cakes

Naked Cakes have grown in popularity in recent years. By forgoing icing, you instead get to use the colour of the filings to blend with the rest of your weddings colour palette. Popular decorations include fresh flowers and fruits.

Choose if – you want a simpler and more natural wedding cake that still has room for creativity.

Lace Wedding Cakes

Lace cakes are a step above the traditional wedding cake. Starting with the tried and true-iced tiers, they are then accentuated with ornate lace trims and weaves that flower over the body of the cake.

Choose if you want a more intricate and extravagant wedding cake that still holds true to tradition. 

Cupcake Towers

Another emergent trend is to replace the single wedding cake with multiple cupcakes. You can still arrange them in a tiered tower and there is plenty of room for decorations. You can even have the best of both worlds by using a single cake at the top with tiers of cupcakes below. 

Choose if - You want something different that is both fun and cost effective

Custom Wedding Cakes

If you have something specific in mind, you can always go completely custom. Popular with themed weddings and younger couples who want something unconventional, the range of options is near limitless; just remember that as the details increase, so too will the price.

Choose if - You want something amazing and unique to you but you don’t care about the cost!
