wedding cup cakes and individually iced towers
A real Cakes 4 Fun favourite!
Our signature towers of stylish cupcakes or tiers of mouth watering individually iced cakes, are a spectacular and fun way to personalise your special day.
The essential top tier completes a sophisticated and stylish look and provides a fun photo opportunity of the happy couple as they cut their cake!
Hand crafted sugar versions of your bridal flowers stunning orchids, roses and calla lilies are firm favourites to add beauty to this stunning centre piece.
The paper cased muffin sized cup cakes, topped with a sweet fondant icing are served to each guest, whilst the individual cakes are fully iced and can either serve one or two people.
Both options look fantastic when displayed on our specially designed cake stands which can be trimmed with ribbon to coordinate with your colours for the day.
The cakes can be gift boxed and tied with chiffon ribbon if required for an additional £2.00 per cake, brilliant as a favour to be placed at each guests place setting or for the top table guests to take home if they are enjoying portions of the top tier cake.

timescales
Wedding cakes are often ordered a year in advance so remember to
book early!
Ideally you will need to order a minimum of 12-16 weeks prior
to your wedding date, particularly for the busy summer months
to ensure that Cakes 4 Fun can schedule adequate time to
create your cake. This allows us to book you into our baking schedule
and to design and create all the exquisite sugar flowers and decorations
that may be required . Contact us to discuss the possibility of
a shorter timescale if required.
budget
The portions, shape, look and style of cake will all be influenced
by the budget that you have set yourself. Carolyn can work from
your budget to help you look at all the options and come up with
the ideal creation to suit your requirements.
For your
free personal quote please call 020 8785 9039
payment
A one third deposit is required at the time of booking and final
payment is required one week prior to the wedding day.
sizes
Once you have decided on the number of guests at your reception,
Carolyn can guide you as to the size of the cake you will require
to feed this number. You will need to decide if 'coffee' slices
or 'desert' slices will be served as this will affect the size of
the cake. Some brides choose to have additional 'side cakes' which
are used to feed their guests, enabling them to keep a layer for
a future christening!

the taste
Fewer cakes are now created from traditional fruit cake, so let
your taste buds go wild! Carrot, banana, lemon, chocolate, almond
and vanilla are just a few of the mouth watering flavours to choose
from. Fillings can be created to contrast or compliment the taste
and texture of your cake, or why not have different flavoured layers?
the shape
Classic or contemporary - the shape will need to fit in with the
style and theme of the day and you will need to bear in mind that
the portions cut from unusual shapes will differ from a more classic
shape.
the 'look'
You may consider running with a chosen colour, motif or theme to
individualise your wedding and this can be incorporated into the
cake design. Swatches or fabric, examples of fresh flowers or a
chosen shape such as a heart theme can all be faithfully matched
within your cake.
presentation
In the excitement of choosing the cake - don't forget the cake table!
You will need to instruct your reception organiser to set aside
a table and will need to arrange the dressing - a swath of tulle
or scattered fresh or sugar rose petals will really show off your
cake and enhance the photo opportunity! Why not create a smaller
decoration of sugar flowers to attach to your cake knife to match
those on the main cake!
delivery & setup
We offer the following choice of delivery services:
Collection
Each cake is presented on an iced and ribboned cake board and
is boxed individually for collection. We will have already discussed
stands and presentation and can provide details instructions on
how to assemble your cake in situ.
Delivery and set up at reception venue
If you would like us to deliver your cake and ensure that
it is correctly set up and make any last minute adjustments, we
can arrange for a cake designer to personally deliver and assemble
your cake. There is a charge for this service which is calculated
on the distance traveled and the time spent on assembling your
cake.
