a Taste to cherish forever
Wedding Cake Flavours
Here at Sugar and Stories, we know that beyond its beauty, a wedding cake must captivate with its taste. Our cakes turn moments into multi sensory, unforgettable highlights, leaving a lasting impression on your special day and beyond.
Something for everyone
We know that your cake needs to taste just as beautiful as it looks. Whether you’ll be serving your wedding cake as dessert or with evening drinks, flavour is important – and we’ve got something for everyone!
Traditional, popular flavours, will always be a crowd pleaser, whilst modern flavours are slightly more adventurous and curious in nature.
Any of the flavours can be adapted and we are also happy to create brand new flavours.
We have a small selection of gluten free and vegan flavours that can be made for those of your guests with allergies/intolerances. The flavours are marked with an asterisk (*).
Take a look at our flavour menu below.
