Best Wedding Cake Bakers in Bath, UK

Choose a buttercream finish over intricate fondant designs or elaborate sugar flowers, which can add 20-30% to the cost; this could save you $80-$120 on a $393 average cake while allowing for elegant fresh seasonal decorations.

Opt for a beautifully decorated, smaller 2-tier display cake for photos and the cutting ceremony, supplementing with less expensive sheet cakes from the kitchen for guests. This can save 20-40%, potentially $80-$160, compared to a fully tiered cake for all guests.

If your wedding venue is local in Bath, consider collecting your finished cake directly from the baker, provided it's a simple design and safe to transport. This can eliminate delivery fees, which often range from £30-£70 ($38-$88) for local Bath deliveries.

Utilise fresh, in-season flowers or fruits readily available from local Bath florists or markets for decoration, rather than expensive out-of-season or intricately sugar-crafted alternatives. Using seasonal British elements could reduce decoration costs by 10-15%, saving around $40-$60.

Order a slightly smaller wedding cake, perhaps a 2-tier instead of 3, offering it as a special treat alongside a simpler, more cost-effective dessert provided by your caterer. This approach can save $100-$150 on the cake cost alone while still providing a grand centerpiece.
