Gordon Harwood of Essex County Cakes gives us his top tips for choosing your wedding cake

Gordon Harwood of Essex County Cakes gives his top three tips for choosing your wedding cake...

- Know your budget for your cake and request quotes from as many designers as you believe appropriate to give you a good feel for what's right for you.

- Provide colour swatches for your first consultation; this is a great starting block for the design. We have two showrooms, both of which allow couples to discuss the big day and ensure everything is organised.

- When available, take advantage of tasting samples prior to confirming your order. We offer complimentary consultations in our showrooms, or in the comfort of your own home, where you can taste nine delicious flavours.
