This is the 5th installment of my blog series "Wedding Top Tips". It's all about cake this time as I'm interviewing Claire from Claire's Sweet Temptations. 

Tell us a bit more about your company and how it came about?

I make bespoke cakes for all occasions, predominantly weddings. I've baked all my life, but decided to turn my passion into a business 5 years ago. Now I'm an award winning cake artist providing wedding cakes all over the UK. Everything is done in my studio in a pink house by the sea in Cornwall, and everything is made by me, for you.

What has been the best or most memorable wedding you've worked on so far?

Probably a Death Star! That was fun. Although my favourite to make is sugar flowers, I love cakes dripping in flowers, they are so romantic. Saying that you can do almost anything in sugar, and it's nice to make the cake reflect you as a couple.

What are your 2 top tips for brides and grooms to be?

Book early! Don't listen to the advice that 4 months is the lead time on cakes. I've got 2019 bookings already. Even if you're not sure what you want, still get a deposit down to secure the your chosen cake maker. Have what you want, even if it's a bit out there. The cake is a great way to have fun and really personalise your wedding.
