Keeping the top tier of your wedding cake for your children’s christening is today not the norm- for many reasons. Firstly women careers are in many cases as important as the mans.

Ideas include large 3d babies to tumbling teddies, even individual muffins stacked with the babies name on or foot prints etc. the options are endless!

There are a number of options available if you don’t wish to have fruit or sponge cake.
These include the croquembouche tower of profiteroles, Italian tortes socked in liquors, decorated cheesecakes, large vanilla slices………etc

Yes  we can help. First of all, all our larger cakes can be reduced in size if you like the design  but require a smaller cake. Secondly if you wish to have a large tiered cake then this also can be done using polysterine options mixed with the tiers you need in edible fillings. For example 3 tiers could be in chocolate sponge and the other 2 tiers could be in polysterine to create the wow factor you are looking for. Enquire in store for further information and other alternatives.
