Find perfect wedding cakes at Croxley Cakes

Five tier, white, embellished wedding cake designed by Croxley Cakes

Sue says: "I've been baking for as long as I can remember; I started when my children were young creating beautiful birthday cakes for them from fairy castles to Formula 1 cars. I moved into the wedding cake side about five years ago, working from home.

"I offer free cake tasting consultations where together we design your own very special bake. Of course, if you have an idea of the type of cake you like from photos you've seen, we can build from there adding your personal touches. On your wedding day, I'll deliver and set-up at your chosen venue plus ensure it's safe and perfect before I leave.

"I offer lots of different flavours, the most popular being vanilla sponge with buttercream and strawberry conserve or moist double chocolate. Here at Croxley Cakes, we make all our sugar flowers and edible lace, nothing is outsourced. My favourite part of my job is meeting the happy couples and working with them to create their own very special cake. When their day arrives, it's a pleasure to set up and know I have been a major part of their day.

"The cake is one of the most photographed parts of their wedding. It's the centre of the cutting of the cake ceremony so it has to be right."

TOP TIP
Sue shares her top tip saying: "Before you book your wedding cake, I'd recommend meeting your baker, taste the cakes and read the reviews!"

One in seven couples choose sleep over sex on their wedding night

As the UK's spring and summer wedding season begins, new research by Mattress Online suggests the traditional idea of a passion-filled wedding night doesn't always match reality, with one in six couples (15%) saying they did not have sex after their big day. To understand why, the bed experts also asked survey respondents what their reasoning was behind this. They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations. As weddings often involve early starts, long days, emotional highs, and late nights, rest is a more realistic priority than romance once newlyweds are in bed.
