Recently I spotted a semi-naked cake by Bath Cake Company flash up on my Facebook time line. I was instantly in love with it. ‘Naked’ wedding cakes have become very popular over the last couple of years, often seen at the centre of rustic and vintage style weddings. I can see why, they simple yet stunning.

I started to look at the Bath Cake Company a bit more and discovered they are an awarding winning company owned by Celia Adams. Celia set up the company in 2010 with her amazing team of creatives.

They are recommended by many wedding venues across the South West of England. Arranging an appointment with Celia and her team couldn’t be easier just ring 01225 446094 or send them an email.

Your consultation

At your consultation appointment they will discuss any ideas you have, what flavours you would like and discuss how the cake will fit with your wedding style. Of course you then get to sample some cake flavours. Your consultation room will have various wedding cakes on display to help inspire you. Celia and her creative team will work closely with you to create the perfect wedding cake.

The Cakes

All of the cakes from the Bath Cake Company are made with local ingredients using free range eggs and real butter. The bakers are more than happy to use organic products, when requested.

If you require alternative cakes, they are able to cater for gluten free, dairy free, vegan or egg free requirements. Which means your still able to have a stunning cake even if your diet is restricting. So no one has to go without a wedding cake.

Top Flavours

Celia and her team make flavours for every taste but these are their most popular:-

Vanilla sponge with buttercream
Chocolate sponge with chocolate or vanilla butter cream

Not only does the Bath Cake Company make stunning wedding and occasion cakes, they also offer cake decorating classes in their decorating school. So if you are wanting to learn more about cupcake decorating, piping or even how to stack cakes, then Celia and her team can help. The creative team love hosting private parties for children and adults. So you could consider a weekend in Bath for your hen party and take part in some cake decorating.

Whether your planning your wedding, a hen party, a birthday party or wanting to learn about cake decorating, then the Bath Cake Company is the place to be.

Wedding cakes are becoming more and more elaborate. Gone are the days of a 3 tiered fruit cake, held up with pillars, fresh flowers and a plastic bride and groom on top. There are so many different flavours, shapes, sizes and colours of wedding cakes available. Choosing your perfect cake is a yummy mine field all on it own.

Often brides and grooms have a very clear idea of either flavour or style. However turning up at your cake makers to be greeted with flavours you never thought about, can be a little overwhelming. I have put together my top 10 flavours for wedding cakes. Personally I am chocolate lover. When we first went to look at cakes we had a 3 tier chocolate cake in mind, covered in chocolate twirls. However, when the quote came back for £600 my husband nearly keeled over! In the end we had an 8 inch chocolate cake covered in a rich chocolate ganache, sat on top of 70 chocolate ganache cupcakes. The cupcakes were served as dessert with strawberries and fresh cream. When we married it was very popular.

My top picks

Chocolate with a chocolate ganache filling.
Classic Victoria sponge with fresh cream and strawberries.
Lemon cake with a vanilla mousse.
Raspberry and white chocolate.
Red Velvet with a chocolate mousse.
Chocolate with a raspberry mousse filling.
Raspberry ripple cake.
Champagne infused cake with fresh strawberries and cream.
Vanilla with vanilla mousse.
Red Velvet with cream cheese.

Every good wedding cake specialist will be able to provide you with samples to try so you know just how the cake will taste and what the texture will be like. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to find the cake doesn’t quite live up to expectations. So make sure you try before you buy, to be sure you get what you want. If you and your husband-to-be are unable to decide on one flavour why not have different tiers with different flavours?

What is your favourite flavour cake? Mine’s a chocolate cake…. yummy!
