Yorkshire wedding cake designer The Bakery Barn talks showstopping bakes

The modern wedding cake is often one of the main talking points of the day, and there are lots of decisions to be made about styles and flavour options.

The question is: what gives a cake the wow factor? To ensure an impressive and dramatic look, we believe each tier should be at least five inches high and the edges on a fondant cake need to be sharp and clean. This modern four-tier creation is the perfect example; the tiers have no decoration other than the rings of gypsophila, yet it looks stunning when in situ at the venue.

Attention to detail is vital on a design like this, and we always make sure we exceed the expectations of our customers. It's important for your bake to taste just as good as it looks. There are so many delicious flavour combinations available to impress friends and family with, and we work closely with our brides and grooms in tasting sessions to ensure they have the perfect cake to suit their special day.
