Tiers and portions

Count the guests who will actually eat cake, because many people are full after the meal. A three-tier cake works for most weddings of 80 to 100 people.

Hand-made sugar flowers or fine piping add £50 to £250. A plain finish with fresh blooms from your florist costs less.

A trick that cuts the bill

Order a smaller display cake and have the kitchen cut slices from a plain sheet cake to serve. A cutting cake kept in the kitchen costs £30 to £60 and nobody at the table will know.

Bakers in Harrogate, Ripon and Knaresborough often work from home, so a tasting is easy to arrange.

Delivery and setting up

Cakes travel badly on narrow dales roads. Ask the baker to deliver and set up, and check what they charge for it. Take any prices here as a guide and ask for a quote.
