Geraldine did an amazing job producing a gorgeous single tier cake plus 100 cupcakes in multiple flavours along with 100 biscuits for our wedding favours. They were all beautifully decorated and they tasted even better than they looked. We would definitely recommend Thelwall Bakehouse.

Wedding cake styles

Naked & semi-naked cakes

One of the most popular choices for relaxed, rustic, and outdoor celebrations. A naked cake lets the sponge speak for itself - layers of buttercream between each tier, with the sides left exposed. A semi-naked cake has buttercream between the layers plus a thin coat applied to the outside, leaving some of the sponge visible - a slightly more polished look while keeping that relaxed, natural feel.

Classic fondant & smooth finish

Clean lines and intricate piped detail - fondant cakes are the traditional choice for a reason. Available with a smooth, ruffled, or wrapped finish, I can also incorporate lace effects, pearl borders, sugar flowers, hand-painted designs, or monograms. If you have a vision of a classic, elegant wedding cake, this is likely the style you're imagining.

Buttercream & sugar flowers

Buttercream finishes have a softness and warmth that fondant can't quite match - whether that's smooth, textured, or swirled. Paired with hand-crafted sugar flowers, a buttercream wedding cake makes for one of the most beautiful centrepieces you can have. Every sugar flower is made by hand and can be matched exactly to your wedding florals.

Your cake, your way

Every wedding cake I make starts with a conversation. Whether you have a clear vision or no idea where to begin, we'll work through it together - tiers, flavours, decoration, and finish. I can create anything from a clean, modern design to something heavily detailed with sugar flowers, hand-painted elements, or custom toppers. If you've seen something you love, bring it to me. If you haven't, I'll help you get there.

The size of your cake comes down to two things: your guest count and your day. A single tier suits intimate ceremonies, two tiers work well for mid-size receptions, and three tiers are ideal for larger celebrations. This fully bespoke design service is available for cakes of three or more tiers. Not sure what you need? Get in touch and I'll work it out with you.

Planning your wedding cake

Not sure where to start? Here are the four things to think about before you get in touch.

1

Guest count

Your guest count determines the size and number of tiers you need. A single tier typically serves up to 30 guests, two tiers up to 60, and three tiers 80 or more. I'll help you work out the right size when you get in touch.

2

Style & finish

Think about the overall feel of your day - relaxed and rustic, classic and elegant, or something bold and personalised. Bring me photos, a Pinterest board, or just describe the vibe and I'll translate it into a design.

3

Flavours

Each tier can be a different flavour, so you can cater for different tastes across your guests. Order a taster box of cupcakes to try the flavours before you decide - available in boxes of 6 or 12.

4

Timing

I'd recommend getting in touch at least 3 to 6 months before your wedding, especially for summer dates. The earlier the better - popular weekends book up quickly.

Civil ceremonies and vow renewals

Not every wedding is a church wedding - and not every wedding cake needs to be a towering three-tier centrepiece. Civil ceremonies often have a more intimate feel, and the cake should reflect that. Whether it's a small single-tier for a low-key register office celebration or a statement two-tier for a reception that comes later, I'll design something that fits your day perfectly.

Vow renewals are a celebration in their own right - a chance to mark something meaningful with the people who matter most. I've made cakes for vow renewals of all sizes, from an intimate family gathering to a full party. Get in touch and let me know what you have in mind.

Try before you decide

I offer a wide range of flavours - classic vanilla, chocolate, lemon, almond, carrot, and more. Each tier of your cake can be a different flavour, so there's plenty of room to mix and match.

Not sure what to choose? Order a box of taster cupcakes - available in 6s or 12s.
