Let us know the number of guests and your desired serving, and we will be able to advise you on the size of cake you need.
You will need to decide if you are serving your cake as dessert or with coffee. Portions are as follows:
Coffee Portion Size 2.5cm x 2.5cm x approx 10cm height
Dessert Portion Size 5.0cm x 5.0cm x approx 10cm height
If you let us know the number of guests and your desired serving we will be able to advise you on the required size.
Please bring any colour samples with you or other design ideas ie: your invitations, pictures of table settings, your dresses etc. Anything that you think can help us to create a gorgeous, unique cake design that will suit your wedding perfectly.
Please do not put fondant covered cakes in the fridge as this will cause the icing to sweat, and your decorations will wilt. Keep your cake out of direct sunlight in a cool, preferably air-conditioned, room until it is ready to serve.
A hot knife is recommended for cutting (just dip the blade briefly in hot water). All mud cakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. Fruit cakes can last the year if kept in a sealed container.
Red Apron sugar flowers and models last forever if they are kept in an airtight container. Do not place your decorations in the fridge or freezer as the moisture will eat the icing.
