What they produced for our wedding day was perfect

I remember Gardners Bakery from when I was a child, so when we saw they were a recommended caterer by our wedding venue there was only ever going to be one choice for who we wanted to do our wedding cake & dessert table. We were not disappointed! Helen & all the team were amazing!! We had an initial appointment to discuss what we wanted & I also felt comfortable asking further questions on the run up to our wedding day. Nothing was too much trouble. What they produced for our wedding day was perfect!!! We had so many comments about how amazing the cake & all the treats looked & tasted! We had a 3 tier cake with donuts, millionaires shortbread, cookies & Viennese whirls in different flavours! We cannot thank Gardners Bakery enough for all they did! ** Highly recommended **

Helen got our requirements spot on

We booked Gardners Bakery for our wedding cake and cookie favours and we weren’t disappointed! Helen got our requirements spot on- the cake was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! She even created two sugar paste guinea pigs in honour of our beloved pets and the cookie favours went down very well with our guests. Thank you so much Gardners!

Our wedding cake was beautiful

Our wedding cake was beautiful. Helen listened to what we wanted as well as the pictures that we showed her and she produced a masterpiece. The painted parts looked amazing, especially how she created texture in the branches. The Chinese double happiness symbol was also perfect. We had to transport the cake to Loughborough and Helen loaded it into the car for us and packed around it which meant that it arrived in perfect condition. The cake went down so well with our guests and people were trying all 3 flavours that we had. Thanks to Helen for producing such a perfect cake at a reasonable price.

What is your most memorable wedding?

Over the last 30 years, we have made approximately 8,000 wedding cakes so it is hard to pin-point only one that is our most memorable. We especially enjoy a challenge, where we have the chance to collaborate with the couple, and create a truly one-of-a-kind design.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

We are happy to create any style of cake, from modern cakes to vintage and rustic designs.

What about your business are you most proud of?

The fifth generation of the Gardner family are now running our second shop, Gardners Cakery in Market Harborough.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Ask friends or family members who are married for recommendations.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A particular favourite of ours, is to see a handmade Bride & Groom figure of the couple on top of their wedding cake. We personally make these using photos of the couple in their wedding outfits, to recreate them on their special day.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Couples can book a consultation where they will visit our Wedding Cake Studio to view a range of our wedding cakes and to try our delicious sponges. At the consultation, Helen will talk to the couple about their wedding theme, colours and ideas for the cake, to create the perfect design for each couple.
