It's Your Wedding and you can have what you want!
Weddings are all about the Bride. Decide on your dream cake, work out what you can afford and what you want to budget - and we'll help you to get as close to your dream cake as possible, within your budget. When asked what the one bit of advice is that she would give a bride - Kim Reed of Cambridge, England said in Cake Central magazine, "If there was one thing I would say to a bride it’s to listen to the advice of your cake maker!"
For a rough guide on budgeting, bank on about R350 to 700 per tier, and add another R50 to R300 per tier for the decorations, depending on how much you want on your cake. Carrot, Chocolate and fruitcake are more expensive, and chocolate is costly and softens back in our South African summer so bear that in mind if you're wanting chocolate shards or panels on your cake. You will need to make sure that the cake table is placed in a cool area out of sunlight.
Tell your cake maker up front what your budget it, and how may people you are expecting, so that we can work out a deal within your budget, or as close as possible.
We make our own flowers and foliage, and these will be made to suit your colour scheme. Flowers include Roses (we can do chocolate roses too), lilies (full range from Arum lilies to Star Gazer and Tiger lilies, Smaller flowers such as Sweet-peas, etc, Tropical Flowers such as Orchids (wide range), etc, etc, don't be restricted by your imagination - let it fly!
Have a look at the birthday and special occasions pages for some ideas.........
Techniques include drapery, tiling, ribbon effects, ribbon roses, hand painting, airbrushing, embroidery, piping, filigree work etc. Just ask.
We stock a few porcelain toppers which you can hire - but why not let us make a sugar topper to suit your style and match you as a couple.
