Ordering a Wedding Cake in Cyprus from Jacky's Cakes

From the dreamy concept to the first enchanting bite, your wedding cake is more than just dessert — it's a symbol of celebration, love, and togetherness.

However, ordering a wedding cake in Cyprus can feel like a daunting task.

As a baker, I understand the magic behind these edible masterpieces. So, fear not, sweet-toothed brides and grooms, I'm here to guide you through this deliciously delightful journey.

1. Start with a Vision

It's your special day, and your wedding cake should be a delightful extension of your love story. So, begin with a vision.

Will it be a traditional white cake or a vibrant coloured one?

Will it have multiple tiers or a single elegant one?

Browse through my online portfolio and find inspiration that resonates with your personal style. Don't hesitate to contact me for some more photos of wedding cakes I've baked.

2. Understanding the Language of Cake Design

Deciphering the language of cake design can be tricky. Let's break down some of the terms:

• Fondant - A smooth and elastic icing that gives your cake a polished appearance.

• Buttercream - Creamy icing that is rich in flavor. It's versatile for different styles but can melt in high temperatures.

• Ganache - A glaze made from chocolate and cream, perfect for chocolate lovers.

• Naked or Semi-Naked - Cakes with little to no outer layer of frosting, offering a rustic, chic aesthetic.

• Marzipan - Sweet paste made from almonds, sugar, and egg whites, often used for decorations.

• Royal Icing - A hard, dry icing, ideal for intricate designs and piping.

3. Pairing the Perfect Flavors

Your wedding cake should taste as stunning as it looks. I offer an extensive variety of flavours and fillings, from classic vanilla to exotic passion fruit.

I suggest considering the season while selecting flavors. For example, a refreshing lemon cake can be ideal for a summer wedding, while a rich chocolate ganache might be perfect for a winter ceremony.

4. Deciding the Size of Your Cake

The size of your cake should correlate with the number of guests.

As a general rule, a three-tier cake serves 50-100 guests.

For larger parties, consider adding more tiers or supplementing with a sheet cake.

5. Delicate Details and Decorations

This is where your cake comes alive. Flowers, ribbons, edible pearls, lacework...the options are endless.

Share your wedding theme and colours with me. I can suggest the perfect embellishments to align your cake with your overall wedding aesthetic.

6. Allergies and Dietary Restrictions

Do some of your guests have food allergies or dietary restrictions? I can help.

From gluten-free to vegan options, I strive to create a cake everyone can enjoy.

7. The Perfect Cake Tasting

A cake tasting is an intimate experience.

I'll guide you through my selection of flavours and fillings.

Remember, it's your day — don't shy away from voicing your preferences.

8. Planning the Delivery

Your cake is a work of art, and it needs careful handling.

I offer delivery and setup services to ensure your cake arrives at the venue in perfect condition.

9. Preserving the Top Tier

Keeping with tradition, many couples save the top tier of their cake for their first anniversary. If you plan to do this, let me know!
