When planning your wedding or event you want to make it truly unique to you, incorporating your personality, your favourite florals, foods and flair, but there’s one thing that whilst some couples may change for their wedding day is a pretty common occurrence and a crowd favourite… CAKE!
Not many of us turn down the chance for a slice of cake at the end of the night and Madie Gostin from Mad About Cakes is chatting to us all things sugar! Madie and her team specialise in Wedding cakes, custom cakes for birthdays and events and desserts and if you haven’t tasted one of their sweet treats yet, you are indeed missing out!
Beginning baking for friends, family and “unofficially” handing off her creations in 2009 Madie realised she had a talent and could sell her goods becoming the wonderful business we know today in around 2015!
Since then she has grown her team, won multiple ABIA awards and produced cakes for hundreds if not thousands of weddings and events!
We asked Madie what her favourite part of the process was and this is what she said: “Of course hearing that the couple loved their cake and were happy is the best thing BUT, delivering a cake can be super stressful, so sometimes the best part of the day is getting the cake to the venue safely and knowing our job is done.”
Madie like most other suppliers insists on the couples and clients getting what they want by noting the most important thing is for them to remember “it’s your day – so have the cake you want! Don’t order with other people in mind, order what YOU want!” Madie and her team specialise in dietary requirements meaning they can cater to and offer a huge range of gluten, dairy and egg free cakes/desserts. Additionally, they use both buttercream and fondant which isn’t super common for bakers and allows creation for some super unique designs.
We of course had to ask Madie if she wasn’t making cake what would she be doing instead?
“Tough question! Each wedding supplier comes with its own stresses and definitely less access to eating cake…I couldn’t tell you! I think I will stick to cake and what I know!” We would have to agree the access to eating cake is definitely a tick and can see why she likes it!
