Q | What styles and flavours work well for a summer al fresco wedding cake? |
A | Stacey Badger says: There are plenty of cake options for a summery or al fresco theme! Fruity flavours are always a hit at weddings during this time of year. Some of my most popular options are a classic Victoria sponge or a lemon cake with a delicious curd filling. Others perfect for summer include prosecco and strawberry, white chocolate and raspberry, or lemon with blueberries or raspberries. You could also opt for a dessert table instead of a cake and feature treats like Eton mess or build your own pavlova boards. Beautiful designs include naked cakes, vibrant buttercream and floral decorations. Delicate Lambeth cakes are especially lovely and perfect for a summer wedding. If you choose a colourful theme, these designs will make a bold statement. Your wedding should always reflect your preferences and what feels right for you and your partner. Remember, it's your special day, so ensure it's done your way! |

Q | We want a wow-factor wedding cake, what do you suggest? |
A | Amanda Hill says: Why not decorate your cake with hand-crafted sugar flowers which always look beautiful? Wild country flower designs, sprays or individual flowers can transform a simple cake into a stunning centrepiece. Each flower is made from the finest sugar paste and I can replicate any blooms, whether it's a single stem or a cascade of flowers. The finished piece is hand-painted with edible colours. |
