Keep your cool with al fresco wedding cakes
This issue we asked our experts for their top tips on planning and outdoor wedding, here Clare Deary from Cake On The Lake (www.cakeonthelake.com) tells us what to consider when it comes to your big-day bake. Wedding cakes are fragile as one of the main ingredients is butter, which doesn't go well with heat. So, if you're planning a summer wedding there are a few things you need to consider. Summer heat can't be controlled, but you can control how you manage it. If you have your heart set on a rustic, naked style bake, the best course of action is to have it brought out after the ceremony. Having it sit out for hours in the heat isn't ideal unless you want a melting mess.
