Gone are the days when wedding cakes had to be three-tiered white sponges with stiff icing and silver balls. These days, your cake (or dessert table!) can be just as creative as the rest of your wedding — from hand-painted florals to towers of brownies, rustic semi-naked cakes to full-blown cheese wheels.
Whether you’re after something elegant and traditional or totally unique, here are some of the best local bakers and cake makers serving Tonbridge and beyond.
Purita Hyam – Chocolate Wedding Cakes
For couples who love chocolate (and who doesn’t?), Purita’s creations are a dream. Her decadent designs range from classic tiers to dramatic dark chocolate finishes, with rich ganaches and elegant decoration. Although not based in Kent, Purita is recommended by wedding venues in Tonbridge. Find out more here.
