Eggless Wedding Cakes & Vegan Wedding Cakes

royal-iced-wedding-cakeEggless Wedding Cakes & Vegan Wedding Cake Flavours by Sugarbliss Cake Company, Solihull, Birmingham, West Midlands.

 

Choosing your wedding cake flavours is one of the most important – and most fun – decisions that a bride and groom will make and should reflect their big day’s theme and style. When choosing your cake flavours and including any dietary requirements, should be one of the first things to do when deciding on your overall wedding cake design.

 

Although many of the traditional wedding cake flavours are suitable for almost any wedding cake design, if you are choosing an Eggless wedding cake or a vegan wedding cake you must check with your wedding cake designer if there are any wedding cake designs which would not be suitable using these flavours.

 

Eggless and Vegan cake recipes do not have as much strength as a typically baked sponge cake and require much more support and careful planning. This may effect the overall size or shape of your wedding cake especially if your wedding cake design is shaped in any way.

 

eggless-semi-naked-wedding-cakeOne such design which is perfect for eggfree wedding cake and vegan wedding cake designs are the popular semi naked wedding cakes. These stunning rustic looking cakes can simply have added to them sugar flowers or fresh fruit/fresh flowers to adorn the tops of these stunning wedding cake designs.

 

If you are interested in our delicious eggless wedding cake or vegan wedding cakes , please contact us or why not simply order one of our sample boxes to fry our eggfree or vegan cake flavours.

 

 

 

 

wedding cake budget

With the average cost of a UK wedding soaring year by year it’s no surprise that brides are on the lookout for ways to stretch their budgets. With this in mind, we’ve pulled together our top tips and ideas to help you make the most of your wedding cake budget ready for your big day… At Sugarbliss Cake Company we also offer a beautiful collection of simple wedding cakes ideal for a smaller wedding reception or budget.

 

1. Move away from fruit cake

Although fruit cakes are a wedding tradition, not everyone one likes them and they tend to be an expensive option. Replacing a fruit cake tier with a chocolate, lemon or vanilla sponge will save you money and give your guests a delicious alternative. If you’re looking for a spectacular centrepiece but don’t have lots of guests, using a cake dummy instead of a fruit cake will save you money and cut down on waste.

 

2. Downsize your centre piece

If you’ve set your heart on a particular style of cake but your budget won’t stretch that far then you could opt to have a cake with fewer tiers. A plain sheeted cake in the kitchen will cut down on decorating time and provide the extra portions.

 

3. Keep it simple

A professional cake maker will spend many hours creating an intricately decorated cake. Choosing a cake with simpler decorations or asking your cake maker about alternative styles that are quicker and easier to make can be a great way to spread you budget.

 

4. Smaller slices

Standard cake portion sizes are 1”x 1” for fruit cake and 1”x 2” for sponge cake. You’ll struggle to cut your fruit cake tiers smaller, but can increase your servings by offering 1”x 1” portions of sponge cake too.

 

5. Make your own

If you’re confident in your cake decorating skills and love the idea of adding a personal touch to your special day, making your own cake can be a cost effective solution. If you’re considering this option you need to be realistic about what you can achieve and whether you’re going to have the time. Be sure to check in advance that your venue is okay with this too. If you are making your own cake we suggest you keep it simple and definitely don’t attempt anything you haven’t tried before. Using readymade decorations is a great time saver – handmade edible decorations like SugarSoft® roses not only look beautiful but taste great too.

6. Respect your budget… and your cake maker

Budgets are there for a reason and it’s important that you do your best to stick to them. If you have hired a professional to make your cake then be upfront with them about your exact budget when you talk about the cake you would like. This’ll help them use their professional expertise to come up with ideas and sketches of what you can realistically be achieved with the budget you have available. Be prepared to compromise if your budget is very tight and you’ve set your heart on an elaborate cake.

Wedding Cake Flavours

Wedding Cake Flavours

We have a great selection of over 50 cake flavours to choose from and although fruit cake may be the traditional flavour for wedding cakes we offer a whole range of delicious cake flavours which are freshly baked in our bakery for the modern bride to choose from.

 

Wedding cake designs don’t just stop at the decorations and choosing a different delicious cake flavour to compliment your wedding cake design is as important.

 

You can decide on a different flavour for each tier which will create all sorts of contrasting flavours with a combination of inventive fillings to really surprise your guests, once the cake is cut.

 

Have a look at some of our most popular flavours to help you choose the perfect wedding cake design.
Fruit cake: A must-have flavour for the traditional bride. Fruit cake goes a long way and with a very generous shelf life, making it a great choice for preservation or sending pieces to those that couldn’t attend the day. Traditionally, the bottom layer of a wedding cake was cut at the wedding, with the middle tier being served to guests and the top tier being kept for the christening of the couple’s first baby.

 

Chocolate: A perfect choice for chocoholics and a guaranteed hit with most of your guests. Chocolate cake can vary in richness and works well with an endless list of fillings. Put a unique spin on this classic flavour with different filling such as mint or really treat your guests with a chocolate fudge filling.

 

Vanilla:  This classic sponge wedding cake flavour remains the most popular flavour for our wedding cakes and will be popular with your younger and older guests. Vanilla makes a great base for just about any flavour and can be combined with a wide selection of different fillings.

 

Red velvet: This ever popular silky smooth cake flavour is irresistible as it not only looks great but tastes amazing. Hide underneath white icing for a surprise colour when the cake is cut or make a real statement with a red velvet naked wedding cake.

 

White Chocolate with Raspberry: This winning combination is perfect  for those looking for a flavour with a difference. The sweet white chocolate really comes to life when paired with the fruitiness of the raspberry filling. Perfect for bringing something a little unique to your wedding cake.
Lemon: A great choice for summer cakes. As one of the most popular flavours you can guarantee lemon cake will go down well on your day.

 

Carrot: Carrot cake makes a brilliant alternative to more common flavours such as chocolate and fruit.  Carrot cake can be very moist, particularly when paired with buttercream, so it may not make a suitable bottom tier flavour choice.

 

Pink Champagne: Cake, bubbly and weddings are a matched made in heaven so it’s no surprise that pink champagne flavoured wedding cakes are increasing in demand this year. The pretty shade can be achieved using our pink Colour Splash food colouring gel too. Popular fillings for a champagne cake include rum flavoured custard, white chocolate or rich whipped cream.

 

Coconut and Lime: Channel the tropics with this surprisingly delicious flavour combination. Coconut has surged in popularity over recent years and the addition of tangy lime filling gives it that extra kick that guests will love.  This fun-filled flavour is perfect for summer weddings or tropical destination weddings.

 

Marble cake: Can’t decide between vanilla and chocolate? Who says you have to! The two popular flavours work incredibly well together to create an irresistible marble cake that is guaranteed to tantalise your guests’ tastebuds.

 

We also offer a range of delicious dietary cake flavours including our popular eggless wedding cake flavour, vegan wedding cake flavour, gluten free wedding cake flavour and our new sugarfree wedding cake flavour.

We had a great day out at the Welcome Hotel, Stratford Upon Avon, last week. The Live 24 magazine are launching their new wedding section in September and we were asked, by the ‘Live team” if they could feature our wedding cakes in their first wedding issue.

 

Set in an opulent country mansion on 150 landscaped acres, this luxury hotel is 1.8 miles from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and 5.9 miles from Charlecote Park. This resplendent hotel was a perfect wedding venue for the photo shoot and an absolute perfect venue for any wedding reception.
