Baking a difference: The Sugar Room
Your wedding cake is a stunning centrepiece and a fun representation of you in both flavour and appearance.
If you’re planning your big day, a cake tasting is a must to ensure it’s everything you’ve dreamed of. Professional baker Sam Stakenburg stresses the importance of this, yet also believes the process shouldn’t be drawn out and boring. Her business, The Sugar Room, offers a unique tasting process entirely flexible to your needs.
“The process can be a sit down with me or it can be over the phone or email, whatever works best,” Sam says.
For the tasting itself, couples can choose between eight moreish flavour combinations. Sam encourages everyone to have fun and mix and match to make it their own.
For Sam, she strives to make sure you can decide without pressure. “I also have the tastings set up to take away so customers can try it in the privacy of their own home, or with friends and family. I’ve had people set up judging forms for their families. You can have a lot of fun with it.”
The Sugar Room does tastings every second month and there’s an array of flavours to choose, from citrus and light to more decedent milk or white chocolate, while banana is popular at the moment, too. “Cake should look good, taste good, and be simple. It shouldn’t be one of the hard things leading up to a wedding.”
