Wedding and Celebration Cakes - Sizes
The first thing to consider, is how many pieces of cake are you planning to serve? Traditionally, a 'Wedding Portion' of cake is approximately 1" x 1" x 5" (25mm x 25mm x 125mm). Then, how many tiers of cakes would you like? 3, 4, 5 or 6?
​
To make life a little easier, Heather has put together a list of cake sizes and how many portions you can get from each cake. The list also gives the starting price for the cake before it is decorated. Click here to view or download the list.
What are the cakes made of?
Heather prefers to make a proper sponge cake mix from scratch, using fresh quality ingredients. Heather does not use commercial sponge cake 'ready-mix'! Each tier of sponge cake consists of even layers filled with a choice of fillings.
​
Wedding cakes are normally masked in ganache before being finished in a high quality sugar-paste.
