Euro
Delice would like to help you to find the
best possible cake for your wedding. Below
are the sorts of factors you might want to
consider. In our free consultations with you,
we will go through such points with you in
detail.
1. How many people
will be attending?
It is important to consider carefully
consider the size and shape of the cake you
want. If your wedding cake is rich
fruit, not only will it serve more guests,
it will also keep for over a year. Sponge
cake on the other, although it serves
fewer and lasts only a short period of time,
compliments a wide variety of flavours. |

2. The image you want
to convey
You might want to consider: |
| |
| |
The colour
scheme/theme of your wedding and wedding
venue. Since the wedding cake is so
central to this, its design will have
a major impact and we recommend a consultation
for further advice. |
| |
|
| |
The style
of your cake- |
| |
|
- Classic: traditional
wedding cakes are still exceedingly
popular.
- Novel designs:
breaking with tradition can result
in some amazingly quirky, intricate,
and spectacular cakes. Why not impress
your guests with a wedding cake
in the form of a fairytale castle,
or an elephant, or anything else
your imagination can conjure up.
- Chocolate: whether
dark or milky, sometimes chocolate
hits the right spot.
|
| |
|
| |
Cake accessories
are vital to the success of a cake.
Everything from the choice of cake stand,
to the flowers, to the couple atop your
cake will impact the overall image.
Euro Delice has a range of accessories
and stands available for sale/rent. |
| |
|
| |
How many
tiers your cake has can impact how central
it is to the design of your reception.
Our catalogue
may help to give you an idea of this. |

3. Choosing the cake
type
A traditional wedding cake is made from
rich
fruit. Our rich fruitcake uses a unique
recipe, which we believe, erases many of
the gastronomic prejudices you might have,
but nonetheless, many people simply do not
enjoy rich fruitcake. Alternatives include
the many types of sponge
cake, Madeira cake, lemon cake, and
others.
However, you need to remember that no type
of cake keeps as well as rich fruit, which
means that there is little choice if you
want to save the top tier for your first
anniversary as is traditional. A compromise
is that if you or some of your guests do
not like one of either fruit cake or sponge,
have alternating layers, or even cupcakes,
of different cake
types. |

| 4.
You and your guests' dietary needs
Wedding cakes demand
special attention if there are dietary needs
to consider. For very little additional
cost you can please all your guests with
cakes which are eggless, sugar free, wheat
free, dairy free, nut free, vegan, or Halal
or Kosher. |
| |
|
| |
| |
|
5.
When to order your wedding cake.
We recommend doing this at the earliest possible
stage, so that there is time for careful planning
and consultation. However, Euro Delice only
requires an order to be placed a minimum of
three weeks before the delivery date, although
we cannot guarantee to have booking space
(especially in the busy season). We will try
to help you as much as we can, so in exceptional
cases, with notice of less than three weeks,
we will make you a priority. |
