I had to share this gorgeous wedding cake with you – made by Surrey Cakes, we saw it last Sunday at the Silvermere wedding Fair in Cobham, Surrey. It was such an eye catching cake, I had to take a photo. I love the simplicity of the design, mixed with those gorgeous ‘Rennie Mackintosh’ style roses on the top. Absolutely stunning.
Surrey Cakes have a huge selection of wedding and novelty cakes, but this one in particular caught my eye. If you’re in need of a cake designer for a wedding or special event, take a look at their online gallery for ideas and inspiration.
Of course, the most important part of any wedding cake of course, is the taste, and that’s where Surrey Cakes come into their own. Their chocolate orange sponge is beyond words. There were samples (as always) at the fair and it was easily the most popular flavour. Now, I’m not a fan of fruit cake, but I was persuaded to try a piece made by Surrey Cakes. They have their own recipe, and I was told it was unlike anything I’d ever had before. And it was true! I was really pleasantly surprised! The fruit cake was really delicious. Moist, fruity and full of flavour but not overwhelming like other fruit cake I’ve had in the past.
I’m currently organising my own wedding, and I know only too well how many things there are to organise. For me, the wedding cake is quite an important part of the overall wedding reception, so it’s important to get it right! We attend so many weddings throughout the year with our wedding casino tables, and we get to see lots and lots of wedding cakes on our travels. Best of all, we get to taste a lot of wedding cakes too! In my own experience, chocolate cake is the most popular. Lots of brides opt for having different types of cake for each layer, and when they do, it’s the chocolate cake that tends to be eaten first, then the victoria sponge, and then the fruit cake. We went to a wedding recently where the entire wedding cake was carrot cake! A bit of a gamble, but it seemed to go down well anyway. Personally, I’ll be opting for a wedding cake made entirely of chocolate cake. If people like fruit cake, I’ll make one for Christmas and they can pop round for a slice and a cup of coffee!
