Why Choose The Cravery for Your Wedding Cake in Birmingham?

Choosing your wedding cake is more than just selecting flavours and layers, it’s about telling your love story with every slice. At The Cravery Cakes, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of buttercream wedding cakes for brides and grooms across Birmingham and Solihull. Here’s why couples trust us to bring magic to their marriage celebrations.

1. 100% Buttercream Perfection. No Fondant, No Fuss

We are proud specialists in buttercream-only wedding cakes, because nothing beats the silky, smooth, and melt-in-the-mouth finish of expertly whipped buttercream. We don’t use fondant, ever. It’s not our style, and it’s not what we’re known for.

Each cake is lovingly finished in either a smooth buttercream finish or textured designs such as rustic combed edges, romantic semi-naked styles, and floral accents. Want a simple wedding cake or something more bold and dramatic? We tailor the design to suit your personal style and venue aesthetic.

2. Locally Made in Birmingham. Designed With You

Every wedding cake is custom-designed at our bakery in the heart of Birmingham. You’ll speak directly to our cake artist who will guide you through the process from inspiration and sketch to cake size, structure, colours, and delivery. You can send us a mood board, Pinterest link, or a photo from Instagram and we’ll design a Cravery version just for you.

And because we only serve customers in Birmingham and Solihull, we focus deeply on delivering excellence locally. You’ll get personal attention and real-time support throughout the entire journey.

3. Multiple Sizes: 2 Tier, 3 Tier, Wedding Cupcakes & More

Whether you’re planning a small family gathering or a large-scale reception, we have size options to match your guest count and budget.

  • 2 Tier Wedding Cake – Classic choice for up to 60 - 80 guests

  • 3 Tier Wedding Cake – Statement cake for 80–130 guests

  • Wedding Cupcakes – Elegant towers for flexible portions

  • Mix & Match – Combine a cake with a cupcake display

Every option is customisable with matching buttercream textures, floral decor, and colour palettes. Prefer a basic wedding cake or wedding cake simple design? We’ve got you covered.

At The Cravery Cakes, we craft a wide variety of buttercream wedding cakes to suit every personality, venue, and vision. From simple wedding cakes to three-tier showstoppers, this section walks you through the styles we offer, their unique charm, and which one might be perfect for your big day in Birmingham or Solihull.

All cakes are baked to order, decorated by hand, and delivered with care. Let’s explore your options.

Buttercream Wedding Cakes. Our Signature Finish

Buttercream is not just our speciality, it’s our identity. Unlike fondant, which can taste heavy or rubbery, our smooth buttercream offers a creamy, light, and flavourful finish. Whether you're going for rustic, romantic, modern, or minimal, buttercream is the perfect base.

Popular Buttercream Styles:

  • Semi-Naked Buttercream Cake, Great for barn weddings and boho themes

  • Smooth Matte Finish, Elegant for modern weddings

  • Textured Buttercream Swirls or Lines, Adds movement and dimension

  • Ombre Buttercream Effects, Blend colours for a soft or dramatic fade

  • Floral Buttercream Piping, Vintage charm with roses, pearls or vines

We only use vanilla, chocolate, or red velvet cake bases, each layered generously with buttercream for visual appeal and taste that lingers.

Two Tier Wedding Cake Compact and Elegant

Looking for a cake that’s big on beauty but perfect for smaller guest lists? Our 2 tier wedding cakes are a favourite among Birmingham couples hosting 30–60 guests.

Why choose a 2 tier cake?

  • Ideal for intimate weddings, registry office ceremonies, or micro-weddings

  • Compact yet stylish, plenty of room for personalisation

  • Easy to transport and display

  • Can be made to match your colour scheme, flower choices, or dress details

Whether you call it a 2 tier wedding cake, 2 layer wedding cake, or basic wedding cake, this is a cost-effective, space-saving choice that doesn’t compromise on elegance.

🎉 Three Tier Wedding Cake, Classic Centrepiece

A 3 tier wedding cake adds grandeur to your celebration and is the traditional choice for larger guest lists of 80–120 people. It’s the ultimate show-stopper, tall, layered, and commanding attention.

Perfect for:

  • Grand hotel receptions or venue-based weddings

  • Cakes placed under floral arches or centre display tables

  • Custom cake toppers or unique colour blocking

  • Couples looking to mix flavours across tiers

The Cravery’s three tier wedding cakes are designed with stable internal support, smooth buttercream sides, and the wow factor you’re after. This also includes 3 tier cake wedding requests with subtle or vibrant decorations.

Wedding Cupcakes & Towers, Flexible, Fun, and Fabulous

Cupcakes are rising in popularity across Birmingham and Solihull and for good reason. They’re personal, photogenic, and easy to serve. You can even mix them with a small cutting cake on top.

Wedding cupcake benefits:

  • Guests get individual portions, no cutting needed

  • Perfect for flavour variety

  • Can be designed with mini toppers or initials

  • Ideal for DIY or buffet-style receptions

Ask about making yourself a wedding cupcake towers with buttercream rosettes, swirls, or floral piping to match your theme. Sorry, set up needs to be done by your wedding arrangement team, we will deliver the number of cupcakes needed in your theme.

Simple Wedding Cakes Minimalism with Meaning

Not every couple wants an extravagant cake. That’s why our simple wedding cakes and wedding simple cake designs are some of the most loved. They focus on clean lines, elegant finishes, and subtle decoration, allowing your love to take centre stage.

  • One-tier buttercream cakes

  • Simple cupcakes for under £3 each

  • Edible or non-edible toppers to reflect your story

Wedding Cake Trends in Birmingham

Birmingham is home to some of the most diverse and dynamic weddings in the UK — and the cake designs reflect that beautifully. From lavish ballroom receptions to intimate garden ceremonies, couples in our region are choosing wedding cakes that match their venue, values, and vision.

At The Cravery Cakes, we specialise in buttercream wedding cakes that combine trend-led design with personal storytelling. Here's what’s hot right now in the wedding cakes Birmingham scene and how you can incorporate these trends into your own celebration.

1. The Rise of Buttercream Only Cakes (No Fondant Here)

More and more couples are ditching heavy fondant for something lighter, tastier, and more elegant: buttercream.

Why this trend is big in Birmingham:

  • Buttercream offers a modern, fresh aesthetic

  • Perfect for texturing (swirls, ruffles, ombré, etc.)

  • Pairs well with real flowers and soft colour schemes

  • More affordable than fondant finishes

At The Cravery, all our wedding cakes are 100% buttercream, no fondant, no compromises. From simple wedding cakes to 3 tier wedding cakes, buttercream is our signature finish.

2. Simple Wedding Cakes with Textured Detail

Minimalism is making a strong comeback in 2025. Couples are choosing wedding simple cake designs that feel refined, chic, and timeless. Popular features include:

  • Smooth matte buttercream

  • Piped pearls or minimalist florals

  • Monogrammed initials

  • Small, two-tier cakes for intimate weddings

This trend is especially popular for registry office weddings, home receptions, and weekday celebrations across Birmingham and Solihull.

3. Wedding Cupcakes & Cutting Cakes, Flexible & Fun

Wedding cupcakes aren’t just trendy, they’re practical.

Birmingham couples love mixing a wedding cupcake tower with a small cutting cake. It allows for easier serving, less waste, and more room for flavour variety.

Cupcake trends we’re seeing:

  • Rosette-style swirls

  • Piped initials or edible toppers

  • Flavour assortments (vanilla, chocolate, red velvet)

  • Floral cupcake bouquets

Ideal for casual weddings, afternoon tea receptions, and venues where a tiered cake isn't required.

4. Ribbon & Dried Florals, Soft, Rustic Touches

Another Birmingham favourite: buttercream cakes wrapped with silk ribbon and accented with dried flowers.

This rustic-luxe look works well for venues like:

  • The Old Library in Digbeth

  • Botanical Gardens

  • Manor houses in Solihull and Sutton Coldfield

  • Outdoor weddings in countryside barns

Our most requested colour palettes in 2025 so far:

  • Sage & blush

  • Terracotta & ivory

  • Dusty pink & gold

These elements give depth to your cake without overwhelming the design — ideal for couples who want something understated yet artistic.

5. Instagram Worthy Colour Fades (Ombré Buttercream)

For couples who want their cake to be a showpiece, ombre buttercream cakes are a must.

Most popular ombré combinations:

  • Pink to white gradient (to match bridesmaid dresses)

  • Blue to cream (for multicultural ceremonies or gender-themed weddings)

  • Gold to ivory (for luxury celebrations)

This style works beautifully on 3 tier cake wedding designs and photographs incredibly well, especially under soft venue lighting or natural light at outdoor receptions.

6. Affordable Doesn’t Mean Boring, Cheap Wedding Cakes with Style

With rising costs across the board, Birmingham brides and grooms are becoming smarter with their budgets. That’s why cheap wedding cakes Birmingham is one of the most searched-for terms, and we’re here for it.

Here’s how Cravery makes budget-friendly look brilliant:

  • Compact 2 tier wedding cakes under £200

  • Wedding cupcakes from £2.50 each

  • Buttercream finishes that look luxe without added fondant cost

  • Free delivery on cakes over £150

We believe your wedding cake should look like it cost double the price — no matter your actual spend.

7. Personalisation & Symbolism, Cake Bride Details That Matter

The trend isn’t just about how the cake looks, it’s about what the cake represents. Birmingham couples are increasingly asking for:

  • Piped initials or names

  • Buttercream flowers inspired by the bridal bouquet

  • Cake toppers shaped like pets or hobbies

  • Tiered cakes with different meanings (e.g. family tier, bride & groom tier)

Every cake bride order we receive includes a personal story, and we build that into the layers, both visually and symbolically.

8. Venue-Led Designs, Matching Your Cake to the Location

Couples are coordinating their wedding cake Birmingham designs with their venue architecture, colour scheme, or ambiance.

Popular pairings we’ve done:

  • Edgbaston Park Hotel, modern smooth finishes with navy accents

  • The Cube, geometric cakes with gold detail

  • Highbury Hall, Victorian-style cakes with vintage flowers

  • Botanical Gardens, garden-style cakes with pastel blooms and berries

  • Shustoke Barn, rustic buttercream cakes with wildflower accents

We’re always happy to adapt your design to your chosen venue — or suggest ideas if you’re still deciding.

9. Smaller Weddings, Bigger Statements

Post-COVID, the trend of intimate weddings has stayed strong and with them, the demand for 2 layer wedding cakes and basic wedding cakes that still make an impact.

These cakes are:

  • Easier to transport

  • More affordable

  • Just as photographable

  • Ideal for weekday weddings or home ceremonies

We regularly design elegant small cakes for 20–40 guests that still feel like a centrepiece.

Wedding Cake Checklist, Everything You Need to Know Before Ordering

Booking your wedding cake in Birmingham should be one of the most enjoyable steps in your planning journey — not one of the most stressful. That’s why we’ve put together this complete wedding cake checklist to help you stay on track.

From flavours and florals to delivery and display, here’s everything you need to consider before placing your order with The Cravery Cakes.

1. Your Guest Count

Your number of guests will affect the size of your cake.

Guests Recommended Cake
Up to 30 1 tier or wedding cupcakes
30–60 2 tier wedding cake
80–120 3 tier wedding cake
Over 120 3 tier + cupcake tower or sheet cakes on side

2. Choose Your Cake Style

Decide which style suits your venue, vibe, and budget:

  • Simple wedding cake, Great for small, elegant weddings

  • 2 tier wedding cake, Our most popular size

  • 3 tier wedding cake, Ideal for big weddings or grand venues

  • Wedding cupcakes, Practical, stylish, and crowd-pleasing

  • Cheap wedding cakes, Clean, classy designs without the extra cost

  • Cake wedding simple, Perfect for DIY or backyard ceremonies

Not sure which to choose? Send us your mood board, and we’ll help you decide.

3. Pick Your Flavours

We keep it delicious and classic:

  • Vanilla

  • Chocolate

  • Red Velvet

Tip: You can mix flavours across tiers. For example, chocolate bottom tier, vanilla top, best of both worlds.

4. Choose a Design Theme

Consider your wedding’s colour palette and overall aesthetic. Some design options include:

  • Smooth buttercream

  • Textured swirl or comb finish

  • Dried florals

  • Fresh flower clusters

  • Silk ribbon wraps

  • Monogrammed initials

  • Cake toppers or figurines (bride & groom, pets, etc.)

Real Tip: Email or WhatsApp us your wedding invites, dress details, or bouquet photo, we can match the vibe perfectly.

5. Secure Your Booking Early

Wedding season (May–September) books up fast. We recommend:

  • Booking at least 6–8 weeks in advance

  • 14-day minimum notice (subject to availability)

  • Rush orders accepted for simple cakes or cupcakes (WhatsApp us directly)

6. Confirm Venue Details

We deliver wedding cakes to all B postcodes in Birmingham and Solihull.

Provide us with:

  • Venue name & full address

  • Setup time requested by the venue

  • Venue contact name/number (optional but helpful)

Free delivery applies to all wedding cakes over £150.

7. Plan for Cake Display

Even the most beautiful cake needs the right place to shine. Consider:

  • Table location (centre, corner, stage?)

  • Lighting (natural light, spotlights, candles?)

  • Stand (we don’t provide hire, but venue might)

  • Background (walls, drapes, floral arch?)

Cupcakes? We’ll bring and set up disposable tiers or work with what you provide.

8. Day-Of Cake Contact

On your wedding day, designate a cake contact, a planner, bridesmaid, or groomsman, who we can liaise with for delivery and placement.

This avoids any stress while you're busy getting ready.

9. Avoid These Common Cake Mistakes

  • ❌ Ordering too late

  • ❌ Not accounting for warm venues (buttercream cakes need shade!)

  • ❌ Forgetting to match your cake to the wedding theme

  • ❌ Choosing looks over flavour, both matter!

  • ❌ Overcomplicating, sometimes, simple wedding cakes have the most charm

10. Your Personal Wedding Cake Checklist

Here’s a quick list you can copy/save:

  • Guest count confirmed

  • Preferred style selected (1, 2, or 3 tiers, cupcakes?)

  • Flavours chosen

  • Cake design or inspiration photos ready

  • Venue contact shared

  • Delivery address and date confirmed

  • Cake table & stand arranged

  • WhatsApp or order form submitted

  • Payment completed

  • Cake contact assigned
