Both can share similar flavours and buttercream finishes, but the decoration tone distinguishes them.

Can I order matching bride to be cupcakes for my bridal shower?

Yes. Many hosts order bridal shower cupcakes or hens party cupcakes to complement the main cake. Cupcakes are convenient for self-serve tables and travel easily to off-site venues. They can be decorated with simple swirls, mini florals, or bride to be cupcakes toppers to create a cohesive display.

How far in advance should I order my bridal shower cake?

Allow a minimum of 48 hours’ notice for all hens cakes and bridal shower cakes. This timeframe ensures each item is baked and decorated fresh. For weekend or seasonal bookings, ordering earlier is recommended to secure delivery or collection slots.

How should I store my bridal shower cake before serving?

Keep the bridal shower cake in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If collecting a day in advance, refrigerate overnight and bring to room temperature three to four hours before serving. Cupcakes should remain boxed at room temperature to preserve the buttercream’s soft texture.
