Wedding Cake Design

David Smith asked:

Traditionally, wedding cake designs are tiered white, square or round, with butter cream frosting. At Patisserie Concerto your wedding cake design is a different story: you can design the cake of your dreams, in any combination of shape, style, flavour, colour and decoration. We believe that your wedding cake design should be unique and match your own personal style and taste, as well as the wedding décor and colour scheme.

Deciding on the shape and size is the first step in designing your wedding cake. Many shapes are available to enhance and give a unique look to your cake. You can go for square, round, hexagonal, heart shape or any other shape.

When designing your wedding cake, choosing the filling for the cake can be tricky, as you have to choose something that all your guests will like. We suggest that you have the top tier of the cake as something you and your partner like and the rest of the cake can be something that all the guests will like (our shops always have a large variety of cakes you can try before deciding). If there is any other filling you would like but we don’t have ready, please ask and the chef will be more than happy to prepare it for you.

The final touches to your wedding cake design are decorating your wedding cake. Here, your choices are endless. You might like to take a particular element of the wedding décor and design the cake around that theme. We can decorate cakes with the look of embroidery, lace, appliqué or elegant drapes or swags. For instance, many brides will use the lace or other details from their wedding gown as a design for their wedding cake. Bring in a picture of your gown and our chef will be delighted to incorporate the lace or pearl beading detail into your wedding cake.

Your wedding cake design might incorporate fresh or confectionary flowers or satin ribbons that co-ordinate with the wedding colour scheme. If you like, your wedding cake design can be decorated to match your china patterns or a specific theme using a painted on technique where the chef paints designs on the cake for a truly exquisite look.

If choosing flowers for your wedding cake design, please keep in mind that some flowers are seasonal, so please discuss your flowers with us before finalising your choice.

Chocolate Wedding Cake

David Smith asked:

Wedding Cake

Chocolate wedding cakes, icing wedding cakes, fruit wedding cakes, or any other wedding cake . . . each should be a beautiful work of art. Your wedding cake will be the first and longest lasting impression your guests will have of your special day! Creating the perfect wedding cake is not easy. Every bride wants to know that her wedding cake will be exactly the way she always imagined.

Your wedding cake will be crafted by hand, using only the finest ingredients, so why not supply us with your ideas and let us create a unique bespoke wedding cake for your special wedding day? The pictures on our website are only an example of the many chocolate, icing and fruit wedding cake designs we can create. If any of these wedding cake pictures attract you, we can of course change the flowers, colours and decoration to coordinate with your individual wedding theme.

Your wedding cake can be filled with whatever you desire, such as chocolate. Your wedding cake filling can vary depending on your taste. You can even create your own filling, or choose different fillings for each tier of your wedding cake. Gone are the days when the only choice you had was a fruit wedding cake.

We can make up a chocolate wedding cake to perfectly suit your individual needs. Chocolate wedding cakes are very popular with many brides and grooms who want something different for their wedding. We bake a delicious moist chocolate wedding cake, which is filled with a chocolate filling and tastes divine. Chocolate wedding cakes make great desserts that you can either serve on their own or with fresh fruit and cream. You can choose a chocolate cake, which is decorated in fondant for a traditional feel, or for chocoholics, have it decorated with a choice of milk, white or dark chocolate. Or, why not have all three?

If you have a chocolate or any other wedding cake design to discuss, please feel free to phone one of our staff to discuss your wedding cake requirements. Most wedding cakes are made up within two weeks, but if you have a special requirement, please try to give our bakers enough time to complete your order perfectly.

Alternatively, all our wedding cakes can be seen and tasted at our Regent Street, Knightsbridge and High Street Kensington branches. Why not drop in for a taste of something special and discuss your wedding cake requirements?
