Planning a wedding can be an exciting and overwhelming experience. From choosing the perfect venue to selecting the right flowers, there are so many details to consider. One of the most important aspects of any wedding is the wedding cake. As a cake artist with years of experience, I understand the importance of creating a cake that not only looks stunning but also feeds all of your guests in Bristol.
Before we delve into the details of planning your wedding cake, let's take a moment to appreciate the city of Bristol. Located in the southwest of England, Bristol is a vibrant and multicultural city known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and thriving arts scene. With its picturesque waterfront, vibrant street art, and charming neighbourhoods, Bristol is the perfect backdrop for a memorable wedding celebration.
When it comes to determining the size and price of your wedding cake, there are several factors to consider. The first and most important factor is the number of guests you will be having at your wedding. It's crucial to ensure that every guest gets a slice of cake, so you'll want to make sure you have enough to go around.
According to my research, the starting price for a simple cake covered in fondant is a base price. Additional costs for decorations will be discussed during a consultation. The complexity of the structure and the intricacy of the decorations can also affect the price. Therefore, it's important to have a consultation with your cake artist to discuss your specific requirements and get an accurate quote for your cake. You can learn more about this process on our bespoke experience page.
To determine the size of the cake you will need for over 250 guests in Bristol, you can use the following chart as a helpful guide:
For example, if you have 250 guests, you might consider a cake with tier sizes of 8, 10, and 12 inches, which can serve up to 236 finger-size portions. Alternatively, you could choose a cake with tier sizes of 5, 7, 9, and 11 inches, which can serve up to 200 finger-size portions. Our cake size calculator can also help you determine the appropriate size for your specific guest count.
It's important to keep in mind that if you choose a cake design that requires sculpting, you may need to make the cake bigger to accommodate the same number of portions. Sculpting reduces the portion quantity, as sections are removed from the cake to achieve the desired shape. So, if you have a specific design in mind, be sure to discuss it with your cake artist during the consultation to determine the appropriate size.
When it comes to the delivery and setup of your wedding cake, you can rest assured that as part of our comprehensive service, we will personally deliver and install your cake to its final destination. We understand the importance of ensuring that the installation of the cake within the venue is as smooth as possible.
