WEDDING CAKES
Wedding cakes can be stacked in a variety of ways including: American style stacking where each tier sits directly on the other. Semi-stacked where the bottom tiers are stacked directly on each other & the top tier is set on pillars. Cakes can also be displayed using chrome stands, the most popular being E or S stands, these can be left as they are or wrapped in a complementary ribbon to your cake. Traditionally your cakes can be separated by pillars of various sizes & shapes. There are other options available also.
In addition, apart from cakes on the chrome stands, you may like to have your cake set on a silver or gold base (seen in some of the pictures on this site)
Please note: A charge of £10 and a refundable deposit of £30 will be required to hire the stands or bases. The acrylic cupcake stand is £10 with a refundable deposit of £60, the stands need to be returned within a few days of your celebration.
Wedding cakes are priced higher than celebration cakes as costs for wedding fairs and wedding advertising are recouped through wedding cakes only. If you would like to choose a celebration cake as a wedding cake, please add 50% to the cost stated for the cake as priced for a celebration cake.
Cake samples are available on request for wedding cakes only, 3 samples are free of charge, extra samples are charged at £4 each.
