I am in heaven! Why? Wouldn’t you be if you had just ordered a wedding cake from the most fabulously talented cake makers at Choccywoccydoodah!
The next few blogs are all about my travels over the last few weeks with my clients. Today I am bursting to tell you about my experience so far with the Kings and Queens of all things chocolate.
When my new client asked me to help her look for a chocolate cake, she had seen an amazing design on the Choccywoccydoodah website, I was beyond excited. Of course as a wedding planner I definitely know of this team but have never had the chance to work with them before. I can’t tell you about the style of cake we looked at because it’s a surprise for our wedding in September, but I can tell you all about what goes into making such a cake and why it is so fabulous. I know whatever is in the imagination of my client this company can make them a cake to die for.
First of all when you look at the website it boasts pictures of cakes and chocolate you can only dream about but when you read that the recipes are secret and that every single thing on their cakes is Belgian chocolate and edible the swooning starts! For a chocoholic like me it is so inviting. Superb chocolatiers make your creation. You know that your cake will be hand made by experts who really care about what the create. The cake itself is made by the same cake maker so the quality can be replicated over and over.
My journey started when I wrote an email to the website for information and pricing on one of their cakes. Straight away Christian Taylor (their super duper head honcho) came back to me with all the details I needed. My email was going to be dealt with by Stephen Watson who takes the order and brief. That night I happened to be flicking the TV channels and what do I come across but a whole programme on the Choccywoccydoodah team.
For a wedding planner this is brilliant, I got to understand and see how the team work and why their chocolate cake is just about the best you can buy. I saw how careful they pack them, how much time is dedicated to make them and most of all it was really cool to see the personalities that make your cake and the thought and effort that goes into each and every one.
Stephen and I had a chat on the phone and I cannot tell you how helpful he was. My clients wanted a certain style of cake but the colours needed to echo their theme. Not a problem at all! After seeing the TV show I felt like I knew everyone and so far no one had fallen short of super efficient and enthusiastic. Now all we have to do is wait for our samples! Yes when you buy a cake you get various flavours of cake sent to you to decide what you want your creation made of. We can choose from, Scilian lemon, Syrupy ginger, tropical coconut, cappuccino and their infamous chocolate cake. There are also three types of fillings too. Sizes of cake vary on the portions you need, we are having a Midi three tier for 120 pieces.
The shops are in London and Brighton, Stephen invited me to the Brighton store when I was down that way to check out the fabulous goodies on offer. I may well take him up on his offer! Chocolate bars, and all kinds of mouthwatering delights can be purchased from their Brighton and London stores. If you want to give your guests favours then this is certainly a great idea. I always recommend edible favours anyway, there is much more chance of them being used.
The sophisticated look!
All I have to do is now wait for the wedding which is only a few months away. If you are worried about how the cake is going to get to us in one piece, the delivery service is second to none and designed to ensure we receive the cake in perfect condition.
I hope these give you an taster of what you can achieve. These pictures you see are all the standard ones from their website but you can let your imagination run riot! If chocolate is your passion and cake your guilty pleasure then this is the company for you.
Can’t wait to show you the pictures after the wedding and tell you how the cake tasted. If you have any fabulous cake experiences why not let me know about them.
Until next time, happy planning.
Last week we were so excited to be on Wedding TV. One of our most beautiful winter weddings was featured on The Great Cake Bake. Bev and Paul the lovely couple we helped coordinate their day for were just fab to work with. Over the next couple of weeks or so we will feature their wedding on our blog.
