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!"

RSVPing 'YES' to multiple weddings? Here's how to budget!

Attending weddings can be a joyous occasion, but it can also be expensive, particularly if you're invited to more than one over the course of the year. Costs such as new outfits, travel and accommodation, and gifts mean the overall expense of attending can quickly add up. Duncan Fortune, Head of Commercial at Tesco Bank, says: "Wedding season can be a significant expense for households. Planning ahead and setting a dedicated budget for celebrations can help spread the cost over several months, allowing people to make the most of the celebrations while keeping their finances on track."
