Planning a wedding in London is an exciting journey, but it often comes with a hefty price tag. One of the most important (and delicious) aspects of your big day is the wedding cake. While you want a stunning and high-quality cake, you also need to stay within budget. So, how do you strike the perfect balance? In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know to get the best value for your money without compromising on quality.

Weddings are a celebration of love—but for many modern couples, they’re also a celebration of heritage. When two cultures come together, every detail becomes an opportunity to tell a richer story, and the wedding cake is no exception.

Some weddings just stay with you, and S & G’s summer wedding at Leonardslee Gardens was very much one of those. From the golden August sunshine to the thoughtful, design-led details throughout the day, it was a celebration that felt effortlessly romantic, modern, and full of joy — and I feel so honoured that Bloom & Crumb was part of it as their wedding cake designer.

Choosing the perfect wedding cake maker is one of the sweetest parts of wedding planning — but with so many options out there, it can easily feel overwhelming. Your wedding cake isn’t just dessert; it’s a centrepiece, a moment, and a memory. At Bloom and Crumb, I believe the experience of choosing your cake should be just as joyful as tasting it.

Here’s your comprehensive guide to finding the right cake maker, where to start your search, what questions to ask, and how to feel confident in your final decision.

When it comes to planning your wedding cake, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the covering or medium. The right choice not only affects the look and style of your cake, but also its structure, stability, and how well it holds up throughout the day. As the sole baker, designer, and owner of Bloom and Crumb, I often guide couples through this decision, helping them weigh the pros and cons of fondant, buttercream, and white chocolate ganache so their cake is not only beautiful but perfectly suited to their wedding season and style.

There’s something truly special about micro weddings. They carry a sense of intimacy and warmth that larger celebrations often can’t capture — every smile, every glance, every shared laugh feels that little bit more meaningful. As the owner, baker, and designer behind Bloom and Crumb, I’ve had the privilege of creating cakes for weddings of all shapes and sizes, but this particular micro wedding at Marylebone Town Hall in central London will always hold a special place in my heart.

Summer weddings are some of the most beautiful and memorable celebrations, and your wedding cake is a centrepiece that your guests will remember long after the day is over. If you’re planning a summer wedding in 2026, whether it’s at the Kew Garden Conservatory, Northbrook Park, or The Orangery in Mainstone, Kent, there are a few important things to keep in mind when designing your wedding cake. At Bloom and Crumb, we specialise in creating cakes that are not only delicious but also stable, stylish, and perfectly suited to your venue and season.

There’s something truly special about summer weddings — the warmth in the air, the vibrant florals, and the joyful atmosphere that fills the day. Sarah and Huw’s Silchester Farm wedding was no exception. It was a celebration full of colour, laughter, and love, set in one of the most beautiful barn venues near Reading.

As a wedding cake designer, it’s always such a joy to work with couples who have a clear vision for their day. From our very first consultation back in November, I knew that Sarah and Huw’s wedding would be a standout event. They came to me on a crisp winter’s afternoon, ready to talk all things wedding cake, and their enthusiasm was infectious right from the start.
