Wedding Cake Review - Klang Valley KL

Wedding Cake 
Should I or should I not?


Every wedding have a wedding cake should so I? One would wonder if this element or what people see as an necessities, would I be a "lacking" bride? Therefore a bride should have one?

Or some would say, since the reception venue provide one why not? But have you wonder where does this weeding cake tradition come from and why is the cake always in tower tall and white / cream in colour?

Tiny bit of history I read

Wedding cake tradition actually started off from Rome (one of them I guess), where in ancient, people would break bread on the bride's head as a sign of blessing to the couple. In England, wedding cakes are then stacked high and the couple are suppose to kiss each other over the cake without knocking them down so that they would have a prosperous life together.

In fact, Chinese do have these wedding cake tradition too. They are known aa dowry cake. Unlike western who serve the cake during the morning wedding ceremony, dowry cake are given out to relatives before the wedding ceremony to inform that the wedding is approaching. In the past, these dowry cake are round shaped and look more like a pastry.

Let see the evolution of wedding cake.

Evolution of dowry cake.





The Malaysian style.

We Malaysian always know for unique culture or what some says a little touch of everything. What is being observed from friend around me, cup cakes are now used also used dowry cakes while wedding cakes are mostly source from wedding planners.

Today, my sharing are on the cup cakes and wedding cakes vendor that I have engaged before for my wedding, my baby full moon and also birthday! Some are my friends who have good review on their products. Hope you find my sharing useful for you.


This wedding cake are very much Victorian style. Ruffles and white cake of this 8 layered cake are just so elegant - By Burst in the Oven.


If you love ruffles and something cute, this cake will just blow you away. Simple classy three layered cake with a fine hand crafted icing top flower, what else can one ask for? - By Burst in the Oven.


Looking for something simple yet a little England touch? This cake fits you well. It is 100% hand craft, home made by a lovely friend of mine, I guarantee you it is one of the rare baker who serve you edible fondant because it is not diabetic-sweet! - By Lace that Cake


Playful couple need a playful theme cake - By I have sweet tooth.


Instead of having layered cake, how about stake up the cup cake on the beautiful tray and have a unique wedding cake that stand out of the crowd? Are you bold enough for the colour?  - By Sweet Ending


Pretty sure a lot of you have seen her in wedding fair (recently at Saujana) or even magazine! Her cakes are highly recommended as they are just too pretty to eat. Guess her good service and reputation among returning customers did the magic. Enough said of that, look at her creative master piece. Originality is something that I want you to see in her - By In the Could Cakes


Fondant and icing top do the work. This baker is a AI designer background who make wonders with his cake. Something that you can rarely see anywhere. I bet he can make whatever you have in your mind, try him, I bet on him - By Eric

My Review

Above mentioned bakers are all review (tasted) by me except for Eric. I personally prefer Lace that Cake because the cake is less sweet and taste good compared to the rest. However, I find that Burst in Oven cake design can last longer (maybe is the icing top material?) compared to the rest. 

However, my last draw come now. I engaged this lady for my party three times. Yes. Three time. Just because her price is so reasonable for the quality that she deliver.

Ready to have a peep?




Photo do the work. Tell her what you want and she can do it like almost identically and she give you her piece of professional advise (i.e. what type of topping, flavour, color) The only con of ordering from her? Location! My third order almost fell off because the cake is melting. Blame the delivery man. They just could not keep my cake cold enough. Other than that, I would give her my little michelin star - By Agnes

  1. I would recommend banquet halls in Chicago to any bride and groom looking for a special place for wedding reception! We just had our wedding and had a great experience. My husband and I are super critical about every detail and sometimes have a hard time trusting vendors to do what they're supposed to do.
