Cake designers are getting more adventurous with their menus, and more alcoholic flavours are becoming popular. Think gin or champagne-influenced combinations.” – Sam Bradley, Crumbs To Creations “We’ve found that our couples are preferring to postpone until their full guest list is allowed, rather than cut their numbers. I believe this means that people will want to come back bigger and better than ever with showstopping creations – we can’t wait to rise to the challenge!” – Eloïse Durrant, The Gourmet Cake Company “Looking at my bookings for 2022, cakes are getting BIG! Not necessarily ornate or fussy, but couples want to make sure they’re treating their loved ones after such a tough year, so they’re asking for an extra tier or more portions so there’s plenty to go around. This also means they can take a tier home to share with family the next day, or keep for themselves if they missed out in the excitement of the day.” – Lauren Smy, The Honey Bee Wedding Cake Company www.crum bstocreations.co.uk 62
