Points to Consider when Chosing your Cake

Posted on October 25, 2013 by Cakes Plus More Team

No matter the occasion the cake is often a focal point and will appear in many of your photos. The blowing out of the candles and cutting the cake is very symbolic and one of the highlights of a birthday or wedding celebration. A cake can be used to place emphasis on the theme of your occasion so it is therefore very important to make sure you have the perfect cake to fit your theme and suit your taste, whether it is sponge or fruit cake, round or square.

It is helpful to have an idea of the type of cake you would like so that you can have a clear brief to give you cake designer.

Things to consider are:

  • Flavour
  • Size
  • Shape
  • Style
  • Colour
  • Décor
  • Serving Requirements

The Cakes Plus More team suggest that you spend time looking at pictures in magazine, browsing online and searching in portfolios available so that you can have a clear idea of your requirements, your cake designer should also be able to provide guidance on these points during your consultation so that you can create the ideal cake for your occasion.

Insaaf - 2012 About Cakes Plus More Strawberry Shortcake

I just wanted to say thank you for the cake you made us. It looked lovely and was just as good as we remember.

Claire - 2012

We absolutely loved your cakes and as we said your red velvet cake not only had the perfect taste but also had that deep dark ruby red colour which I LOVE!

Monique 2012

Thank you so much for the cake. Once again Cakes Plus More has outdone themselves :)

Lavina - 2012

I just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job with my mom's birthday cake and cupcakes. She absolutely loved it. She managed to share with her staff at work and also with the people at home. They all complimented on both the beautiful decoration and taste.

She said that we could without a doubt refer you to friends and family when needed. And that is exactly what we'll do. We will most certainly make use of your services in future.

Living in the UK and not being able to be there with her, I wanted to spoil her and remind her just how special she is and with your help I managed to do just that.

Thank you so much.

Susan - 2011

Wow, you met all my expectations for my daughters 21st birthday cake, the rich carrot cake as well as the choc gnash was a delectable devine cake. Family & friends could not stop talking. That's why I will be back for more.

Adele - September 2010

Everybody commented on how nice the cake tasted, with most people coming back for second and third helpings. Thank you for making me a great birthday cake.
