Q: How do people choose their cake?

Peboryon: 'There's no right or wrong way to choose your wedding or event cake.

Sometimes clients come to us with their fully-formed ideas, but most do not. We are well used to that, so don't worry. We will ask a few key questions and work with you. It's a process and one we won't rush you into.

We often ask what comes to your mind when someone says 'wedding cake' to you. What do you visualise it looking like and tasting like? What are you drawn to when you are looking at cakes? That's a great place to start.'

Q: What tips would you give for choosing the cake?

Peboryon: '*Firstly, have a good chat with your cake maker; we love a good cake chat! And remember, you don't need to know precisely what you want right at the beginning. We, and we guide you through. 

*Think about how you want to serve the cake. Will it be part of the meal, as dessert? Or will it be served with coffee or as part of a buffet etc.? This is useful for working out the size of cake you need. 

*Start collecting ideas. These don't have to be images of cakes, although that's useful too. But colours and textures, florals you have in mind. Knowing the venue can also spark ideas, the décor or architecture. Pass these ideas on to your cake maker. We can then work our magic.

*Think about the overall feel you're planning for the day/event and if you want the cake to blend in or to stand out. 

*What cakes do you like to eat? That's a good starting point for deciding on flavours. There's a list of flavours on our website, but it's the ones we do most often. Don't feel constrained; always ask if there's something more specific you'd like. 

*Get personal. We love to include our client's personalities and stories in our designs. I painted the couple's pet hamsters onto the wedding cake once because they wanted them included in the celebration. 

*Pick our brains. Ask all the questions; there's no such thing as a silly question. 

*Communicate all your ideas and dreams about your wedding or event. Not just the cake but the whole thing. This is especially useful if there is a theme to the day. 

*Don't be afraid to send us back to the drawing board. We won't be offended if you don't like the first design or even the second. We want you to have exactly what you dream of. 

*Go with your gut and not by what is 'on trend'. Trends don't last, but your memories and the photos of the day will.'
