Cutting the cake is one of the time-honoured traditions of your wedding. The ritual marks the end to the more "formal" proceedings of the night and it's a moment of joyful celebration with your new husband. The wedding cake is definitely the focal point of the Reception - so it's gotta look FANTASTIC!

Go for something that really speaks from the heart. Every couple has their own personality and this should come through in their choice of wedding cake design. Award winning cake designer, Trish Jackson is the decorator that can make such a "Cake of your Dreams"

Trish has now opened a cafe called Zest Cafe, which is in the heart of West Kempsey Shopping Centre. This gives you the opportunity of browsing through her cake catalogue whilst enjoying some great coffee in a relaxed atmosphere. Appointments for cake consultations are required.

Trish Jackson specialises in innovative, contemporary designs, as well as superb traditional creations. Humorous or theme cakes are her specialty. Why not have a different flavour for each tier?

Your wedding cake can be served with tea/coffee or many couples are breaking with that tradition and serving the cake as dessert. Check with your Reception Manager to see whether they charge "plateage" for serving your cake on their crockery and if the charge includes garnishes.
