Wedding Cakes

For over 75 years Fitzbillies has been renowned for the quality of its wedding cakes. The traditional rich, dark fruitcake with marzipan and royal or sugarpaste icing, is still the most popular wedding celebration cake, although in recent years we have been asked to make such alternatives as Croquembouches, Sacher Torte, Sponge, individual cakes, and fresh cream and fruit gateaux for weddings. And, yes, we have made several Chelsea bun wedding cakes!
	If you would like to read more about our wedding cake service, price guides, cake stand hire, terms and conditions, we can send our leaflet or you can collect it from the shop. We are happy to talk to anyone at any time about their wedding cake, but for our very best service and attention, may we please invite you to make an appointment. If it is difficult to visit Fitzbillies during working hours, we can sometimes arrange appointments after hours.
We have made many wedding cakes for people returning to Cambridge for a college wedding, and are happy to correspond with you for long-distance planning.

Harvest time reference no. W1	This stacked, tiered cake can be made with fruitcake, sponge, or a combination of both. It is decorated with honeysuckle, blackberries and sprigs of barley, all individually made in sugarpaste. A lovely design for wedding in late summer or early autumn.

This picture shows just one of the combinations we have made for a wedding - individual mini Sacher Tortes and fresh fruit tarts.
Chelsea bun wedding cake	Pictured here is the most popular type of Chelsea bun wedding cake. Each bun is about half the size of our normal Chelsea bun. The buns are put in either gold or silver cases, and displayed on a special perspex stand (up to 7 tiers), We take great care to make the buns look especially good for weddings by making more than is required and then selecting the very best of them! The smaller sized Chelsea buns for weddings are priced at £1.40 each including gold/silver cases.
Autumn fruits reference no. W20	This cake can be made in either rich fruitcake or sponge, or a combination of both. It has hand-made marzipan autumn fruits cascading over all the tiers. Special fruits can be selected to suit your preferences.
Bride and Groom Top decoration ref. W44	We have made many novelty top decorations to customers' requirements. Within the limitations of modelling with marzipan or sugarpaste, we can usually achieve amusing results. These models do take some time to get just right (and to 'set' sufficiently to be stable), and the prices vary according to the complexity of design and number of colours. They will, however, last for a long time and can be kept as mementoes.
Themed Wedding Cakes	We have made many cakes with special themes, such as the crowd of penguins, and the nautically themed cake (click on details to view). Snowboarding and surfboarding cakes, Eiffel Towers, Pyramids, maps of Australia and Japan, fairy castles etc. have all found their way from us to wedding receptions. Just remember, they do take more time (and ingenuity), but we are happy to let you know what's possible.
Wonky cake reference no. W45	This cake is made with chocolate or plain sponge, or a combination of both. This is a cake for the slightly less traditional celebration! The top decoration adds £40 to the price.
Rose swags reference no. W33	This elegant design has been piped in white on ivory sugarpaste, giving it a subtle contrast of tones.
Royal icing reference no. W37	This traditional style is done with Royal icing on sugarpaste, but it can also be made with Royal icing covering the cake as well. We include this example to show you that the art of traditional piping is alive and well in Fitzbillies. And while the trend recently has been towards simpler, more minimalist designs, we know there are some of you who would like something more traditionally decorated.
