Your North West Wedding - August/September (Issue 81)

CAKES 39 OF CAKE Local cake makers share some of their favourite seasonal wedding bakes Wedding cakes are quickly becoming something more than just a sweet treat. They are works of art that can incorporate your personalities and the time of year. With so many options to choose from it can feel overwhelming, but don’t panic, there is something out there to suit everyone. Start by thinking about how many guests are attending your big day; if you have 30 guests, then a three-tiered cake will be too much or too little if you have 200 friends and family coming. Once you have a rough number, your cake maker will be able to advise on how many tiers you need. Don’t worry about there being any leftovers, as you can always provide cake boxes for your guests to take home or you can freeze them. Check with your supplier that it wasn’t frozen previously and enjoy it for months to come; you could even save some for your first anniversary. The time of year is a great way to narrow down flavours, colours and designs for your big-day cake. With this in mind, we’ve asked local talented suppliers to send in some of their favourite seasonal creations to help inspire you… A piece ELEGANT CAKE DESIGNS BY LOU CAKES BY KATEY ELEGANT CAKE DESIGNS BY LOU Winter PINK COCOA BEV’S BAKES – SWARTHMOOR THE PALMS BAKERY CAKESBYBIMS www.instagram.com/magnum_entry www.maddiefarrisphotography.co.uk
