Your Wedding Cake

For many, this is the most expensive party you’ll ever plan. And what is a party without a cake: a meeting. Make your wedding cake a dramatic showstopper or an elegant, timeless classic.

Your wedding should give you and your partner licence to go all out with your personality. Sod tradition! It’s your day, you get to do whatever you want.

When I got married, my husband and I wrote shared vows and responded with “we do”. Irn Bru was our toast drink. We cut one of our five cakes with an ice axe. For absent friends, we had a spare chair at the head table. I included a last-minute in-joke in my speech and got all my friends to shout “canoe”, much to the delight of my new husband and the confusion of half the room. As well as a ceilidh, we had a medley of classic dance routine tracks, encouraging all our guests to do the Macarena, 5, 6, 7, 8 and Saturday Night.

In short, it was amazing!

Why choose Vici Bakes?

If you let me bring my passion for personalities to your wedding, you can bet that your wedding cake will be epic. During the design phase, you can be as involved or hands-off as you want. You can make subtle changes to the agreed design up to two weeks prior to the big day. Before any decisions are made, you will get a taster box with flavours that you’ve chosen, so you can whittle it down with a score sheet in the comfort of your own home.

Maybe you’d like a keepsake tier delivered to you after the big event, so you can nibble on something delicious whilst you look through photos of the best party ever. I can guide you through the process and ask you all the questions you didn’t know you wanted to answer. Or, we can keep it simple with inspiration photos, a flavour decision, and creative freedom passed to me.

Ultimately, it’s your wedding: you can do what you want.

Flavours

If you like, you can choose flavours from my Classic, Premium or Tipsy collections. Or, we can have a chat about what things you like: what’s your go-to dessert? which selection box chocolate do you go for first? which fruits make your mouth water? what is in your biscuit tin? do you have a favourite pick-n-mix sweet? If any of these questions had you shouting an answer, there’s probably a cake flavour in there meant for you. And why settle for one? Your wedding cake, your rules.

Servings, Tiers and Size

The size of the cake can be dictated by how many servings you’d like to get out of it, and what size those servings should be. For example, a slice of cake as a dessert after the meal should be bigger than a piece at a finger buffet.

Extra Wow

Regardless of the size of your cake, you can make it a dramatic showstopper or something more classic and elegant – or both! Consider extras like false acrylic tiers, flowers, ribbons, bows, even sparklers or lights.
