Funny you should mention that---------we already do large cakes and have been asked to do one for a wedding next year.

i may be being really dim here but what do they do with a soap wedding cake, do they slice it up for wedding favours? or is it just for display

What a fabulous idea! There are so many people on diets, have dietary issues or dont like fruit/sponge/chocolate cake - I read somewhere (a link about a wedding cake/soap) the couple sliced it and gave it out to guests, its a lovely way to do it differently!

An order is an order Becky - we just try to give the customer what they want.

there's folk who think a wedding cake has to be iced white, and be a fruit cake.. but each to their own..

It also said that you cant impose your own personal beliefs and preferences on a customer..

But thats how it is!!

Wedding cake - Fruit, Bright white icing with rock hard piped bits round the edges, top layer saved for the 1st childs christening (the rest can go jump!) Birthday cakes are sponge or chocolate, not wedding cakes! - My family were very traditional in a lot of things (i stuffed that up for them!!)


Although saying that, i dont 'do' traditional! Not married, so we couldnt use wedding cake for our daughters christening, couldnt be faffed with a christening cake, so i baked (yes, me!! Baked!!) a couple of hundred muffins (it was a big christening, see why we havent done the wedding thing yet!) and i iced them with vanilla and chocolate buttercream too, put them on a cake stand in the middle of the food table and left them to their own devices! We did have a traditional little fruit cake on the top of the stand, pre iced from asda, and only because a muffin wouldnt hold the willow tree ornament we had on the top (we gave identical ones to the godparents!!)

I think they would slice it up and offer the slices as favours - something like this would look good -
