The term ‘bespoke cake’ summons up sumptuous images in our minds, a wonderful creating that has been made especially to specifications that you have given the cake maker and they have excelled your expectations. In short, a bespoke cake makes you go ‘wow’ when you look at it, and tastes like heaven.
But those two elements rarely happen by accident, and a bespoke cake isn’t just something that someone has thrown together, and put a ribbon round; a bespoke cake starts in the imagination of the cake maker, and manifests as exactly what you asked for. To do that, you are relying on the baker to have the skills and equipment to turn your dream into a tasty reality.
So, where would you start when you want a bespoke cake? First you have to imagine what you actually want, because if you can’t do that then you can’t tell your chosen baker what you want, and if you try to leave it to chance, then it will go wrong. Is the cake needed for e specific celebration such as a birthday, and anniversary, a wedding, or a retirement? If yes, you may need specific designs that accompany these kinds of celebrations.
Is the cake going to be formal or elaborate? Is it going to need wording and other features that need to make it stand out? Should it have strong colours or should it be more subtle? What are the major flavours that you want to stand out? Chocolate? Vanilla? Strawberry? All of these decisions are major decisions, but you may have other requirements too. There are a growing number of people with specialist dietary needs and you may have to accommodate those too if you want a cake that is going to meet the needs of everyone. You may have to consider creating a gluten free cake, or wheat free cake. Is anyone likely to want a dairy or egg-free cake? These are all serious concerns that you will need to make apparent to your baker, probably more so that colours, since someone’s health may be at stake.
With the artistic elements, you usually need to know all of these elements before you even start finding a baker, but if you can’t imagine how the cake is supposed to be, you can probably rely on your baker to help. Cake makers have probably seen it all when it comes to baking and will certainly have created something similar to the cake that you want before, and will be able to adapt something that they have done in the past to your needs.
A baker will also have a portfolio of photographs of their creations and by looking through those you may find something that is either exactly what you want or at least very close to it. That is always a good place to start, and from there you can consider your other wants and needs.
All that is needed is to find your baker. How do you find a good bespoke cake maker in Leicester?
