This is the first year where we have sold more smaller wedding cakes than large, OTT, bells-and-whistles wedding cakes. In fact, all the croquembouches we have made this year have been for birthdays versus weddings. I realise this isn't a true scientific empirical study into cake trends but it does say something: a lot of people are having small weddings.
For an intimate ceremony, the cake does not need to imitate a three-tier showpiece in miniature. A heart shape, vintage piping and a short message can feel far more personal, particularly for a registry-office wedding or a small reception.
Our best-selling wedding cake is our sweet heart-shaped wedding registry cake. It's available in three sizes:
6 inches serves around 8–10 portions and is lovely for civil ceremonies or elopements with your witnesses.
8 inches serves around 14 portions, making it a natural fit for a small wedding party with close friends and family.
10 inches serves around 21 dessert portions and can be cut into smaller finger portions for a larger reception.
You can choose from the offered sponge, buttercream and piping options, then add a name, date or short message. Those are product choices rather than a fully bespoke redesign. If you want a non-standard palette, topper or more substantial decorative change, contact us before ordering so we can quote it properly.
If you are still choosing the overall style, browse our wedding cakes for more designs and formats. For the same heart shape across birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations, browse all heart cakes. We hand-deliver across London and Surrey using our own experienced delivery team.
For the registry cake shown here, you can order the heart-shaped wedding cake directly online. For changes beyond the listed options, speak to us before ordering.
Heart cakes for wedding anniversaries
A heart-shaped cake also works naturally for a wedding anniversary, especially when the design uses the couple’s colours, wedding date or a short personal message rather than repeating the original wedding cake. Browse our anniversary cakes, or use our anniversary cake ideas guide for silver, pearl, ruby, golden, diamond and platinum milestones.
