TIERS OF JOY Meet local companies offering cakes and sweet treats Wedding cakes are quickly becoming something more than just a sweet treat. They are works of art that can incorporate your personalities, theme 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. 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 it. To help you find the perfect supplier who will create your dream cake, we’ve rounded up some of the best local companies and asked them to tell us about themselves… MAMA-BAKE, STAFFORDSHIRE 01543 433 315 | www.mama-bake.co.uk Mama-Bake is owned by Charlie, who began her baking career by making birthday cakes for her children. “Throughout the years, my background in art and design has helped me create bespoke cakes for my clients,” says Charlie. “All of my cakes are individually designed and made using the best ingredients.
