Heart Shaped Cakes FAQs
Got questions about heart shaped wedding cakes? We've got the answers
How to get a heart-shaped cake?
If you want a heart shaped wedding cake, you have two options. You could speak to a wedding cake maker and ask if they create heart shaped cakes - the list above is a good place to start! Or you could invest in some heart shaped cake tins and get baking - but be warned, it's not an easy task to make a wedding cake.
If you're not particularly skilled at home baking and cake decoration, we'd always recommended enlisting a professional - especially for something as important as a wedding.
Are heart-Shaped cakes trending?
Heart shaped cakes - for weddings and other occasions - are definitely on trend right now. After Pinterest named heart shaped cakes as a rising search in their Pinterest Predicts report, we've definitely noticed an increase in couples opting for heart shaped bakes.
It's easy to see why they're so popular - they're the perfect mix of kitsch and cute!
How many do heart shaped cakes serve?
How many people you can serve with a heart shaped wedding cake will depend entirely on how big your cake is! We'd recommend speaking to your baker about the number of guests you need to serve - and you can always go slightly under with your numbers, as not everyone will eat the cake - and they'll advise you on how big your heart shaped cake needs to be.
You can go for a multi-tiered heart shaped wedding cake if you need to serve more people, or another option for those who love the mini cake look, is to have a small cake to display and cut into, and a larger sheet cake out the back for the venue team to serve. No one will ever know!

The choices are endless when it comes to heart shaped wedding cakes, but here are just some ways you can style yours:
- Retro style - this style is so popular as a single tiered cake with lots of fun piped icing

- Heart cut outs - lots of cake creators can make amazing heart shaped cut outs in your cake
- Bold and black - be dramatic with black icing
