DELECTABLE delights Meet local cake makers The wedding cake: sweet treat, reception dessert or showstopping centrepiece? Who’s to say it can’t be all three? Whether you have a sweet tooth or not, the big-day bake has been an enduring tradition and wedding stalwart since couples first said: “I do.” Its origins are thought to date back to Ancient Rome when a cake of wheat or barley was broken over the bride’s head to signify good fortune. Thankfully, you won’t be forced to wear the delicacy today, so it’s something that’s well worth thinking about. The modern cake maker is more versatile than ever and can whip up a sweet showstopper big enough to take the place of your wedding breakfast dessert, or be served at your evening reception. So, it’s with their showstopping styling quality in mind that we bring to you a showcase of local talented cake makers.
