Find out how to pick the perfect cake for your wedding

Summer wedding cakes should be all about fresh, vibrant and floral looks. Start by choosing light and summery flavours by speaking to your cake maker about the options available. We offer a lemon elderflower, which suits a summer wedding well – people don't want heavy chocolate cake on a hot day. Naked and semi-naked cakes fit perfectly into this time of year and are the best canvas to fill with fresh fruits and flowers to complement the sun. Another bonus with these types of bakes is their ability to withstand heat. Fondant covered cakes can't be refrigerated so once delivered, it will have to be out all day. Buttercream, naked and semi-naked cakes can all be chilled to help them fight the heat. But, most importantly, pick a cake design that suits you and the wedding day.
