Wedding cake studio in Kenya

Produce wedding cakes within proven structural and delivery competence.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional WCAKE-162 supplies a two-tier-look wedding display using two separate 20 cm and 15 cm cakes presented on separate manufacturer-rated stands, not stacked. Buyer approves sketch, flavours, cutting plan and display/transport requirements. No improvised tier supports, large structural build or claim that a cake remains safe for the whole wedding without actual filling controls.
