How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Cake: A Guide for Solihull and West Midlands Couples

At The Cake Artists, we’ve had the honour of creating bespoke wedding cakes for couples across Solihull, Birmingham, and the wider West Midlands for over 10 years. If you’re searching for a cake that’s just as delicious as it is beautiful, this guide is for you.

1. Match Your Cake to Your Wedding Style

Your wedding cake should feel like part of the celebration — not just dessert. Whether your vibe is modern and minimalist, floral and romantic, rustic-chic, or completely unique, your cake should reflect your day.

Bring along inspiration photos, your colour palette, and even details like lace or florals from your dress or decor. We’ll take it from there and design something tailor-made just for you.

2. Size Matters — But There Are Clever Options

The size of your cake depends on your guest count, but there’s flexibility. A smaller wedding may only need two tiers, while a larger celebration might call for four or more.

Want the wow factor of a tall cake but don’t need that many portions? We can create the illusion with faux tiers — keeping the look grand while avoiding waste (and cost!).

3. Don’t Settle for One Flavour

Gone are the days of choosing just one flavour for everyone. Many couples now opt for a different flavour per tier — so you can please both chocoholics and lemon lovers.

Some of our most popular wedding cake flavours include:

• Vanilla with Raspberry

• Chocolate

• Lemon

• Red Velvet with Cream Cheese

• Caramel-Latte

All our cakes are baked to order using premium ingredients, so they taste just as good as they look.

4. Book Early to Avoid Disappointment

In the West Midlands, wedding season gets busy — fast. We recommend securing your wedding cake 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for spring and summer weddings.

Once you’ve chosen your venue and colour scheme, it’s the perfect time to book your consultation. This gives us time to perfect the design, arrange tastings, and plan for delivery and setup on your big day.

5. Trust Your Cake Artist

Pinterest is a great place to start, but remember: the most stunning cakes aren’t copied — they’re created. At The Cake Artists, we combine your ideas with our experience to design a one-of-a-kind centrepiece for your wedding day.

You don’t need to know all the answers — that’s what we’re here for. From tier sizes to flower placements, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
