The Jo Harper Cake Company

The Jo Harper Cake Company Timeless, elegant wedding cake designer specialising in bespoke cakes with handmade sugar flowers.

I can help you design your own cake or you can choose from my portfolio. To me taste is just as important as style - my cakes are a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. They are delicious, irresistible and come in a variety of sizes, flavours and fillings. Most of the decorations are made out of sugarpaste and therefore can be kept if you don't eat them.

The crowd pleasers
Vanilla, chocolate, lemon. Flavours that pretty much everyone knows and loves.

Or something a little bit more interesting
Lemon & raspberry, chocolate orange, spiced apple & blackberry.

My pro tip for choosing your flavours.
Have one that feels like a safe bet, one that gives people something a little different, and one that you absolutely bloody love.

Yes you can. In fact, I always recommend it.

Choosing different flavours for each tier of your wedding cake gives your guests more options.
This way, you are more likely to have a cake that everyone will enjoy.

Love lemon? There’s a tier for you.
Chocolate fan? Sorted.
Prefer something fruity? We’ve got you covered.

And there’s another bonus…
More choice = more cake gets eaten.

So why not give your guests a few options?

And if you’re wondering how to choose which flavours to have, that’s a whole other question, for another post, another day...

I hear this all the time.
The belief is that replacing real cake with dummy tiers dramatically reduces the cost of your wedding cake.

In reality, the savings are often much smaller than couples expect.

Why?
Because a dummy tier still needs to be covered, iced and decorated.
It still takes time. It still requires skill.

And if you’re serving separate cutting cakes to your guests, those still need to be baked, filled, ganached and prepared too.

In many cases, you’re not replacing one cake with another.
You’re commissioning two cakes:
A display cake and cutting cakes.

Fake tiers have their place. But they’re usually about achieving a particular look, not about reducing costs.

Think of them as a way to create the cake you want without the extra portions you don’t need.

Did you think fake tiers were a money-saving option?

The backdrop.

It’s the one thing that is so often overlooked.

A beautiful wedding cake can lose some of its impact if it’s tucked into a dark corner or placed against a busy background.

Sometimes it’s simply about choosing the right location.
