For Cake Sake by Jenny Stewart

Custom cake work is a made-to-order trade rather than a retail counter: each cake is commissioned, designed and built for a specific event, which makes it closer to a workshop than a shop. Celebration and wedding cakes are the core of it.

Worth knowing

Wedding and celebration cakes are structural work: tiers have to carry load, which means internal supports, dowelling and a schedule built backwards from the event. Fondant, the smooth rolled covering that gives a sharp finish, is worked over a firmer cake than most people would choose to eat on its own — the trade-off between how a cake looks and how it tastes is the central problem of the craft.
