MARCIA BAIRSTOW AT MARCIA’S WEDDING CAKES When did your passion for baking start? I have always loved baking for family and friends. I wanted a new path to follow when I retired from my teaching career, which would allow me to engage with people and share my love of creating. What do you offer nearlyweds? I have been making cakes for the past eight years and endeavour to provide my clients with delicious bakes at reasonable costs. What’s trending in the world of wedding cakes? Larger cakes are now possible after a few years with only a few guests. This year, we’re creating a cake with a lace design and floral style. What is your favourite part of the job? Meeting lovely clients and learning a little about them and their lives is a highlight. It’s a lovely feeling to know that the cake you have made really helps to make their day special. What’s one piece of advice that you can share with couples? Your cake is the wedding’s centrepiece, so it must reflect your thoughts and ideas. What cake would you design for your own wedding? My dream cake would have a vintage style, with lace patterns, pearls, beautiful flowers and a romantic style.

I was always in the kitchen making something, and my dad always enjoyed sampling the results. What do you offer nearlyweds? My company has been trading for around six years now. I love offering nearlyweds a personalised and creative service. After discussing designs with couples, I work hard to bring their ideas to life as each cake is made with such love and passion! What’s trending in the world of wedding cakes? I’d say there’s a big focus on bakes that incorporate separators and spacer stands, which really helps to create an elongated and dramatic look. What is your favourite part of the job? My favourite part of the job is seeing the finished product! I love arriving at a venue to assemble a cake and seeing the finished creation. What’s one piece of advice that you can share with couples? My one piece of advice would be to do what you want! Too often, wedding planning can become all about loved ones and keeping the peace. You can forget the little details you’ve always dreamed of – so make decisions for yourself. What cake would you design for your own wedding? My dream wedding cake would be four or five tiers high, with the bottom tier being a hexagon shape and the remaining tiers showing off different heights and textures with handmade sugar flowers!
