Here at Wedding Ideas we’re always on the look-out for gorgeous wedding cakes, so we couldn’t resist an invitation to the recent Langs of London launch event at The Bloomsbury Hotel in London.
The magnificent centrepiece of the event was a breathtaking 10-tier wedding cake which was decorated with over 500 individually handcrafted sugar flowers, which took 150 man hours to create!
Rising to more than 7 feet, it weighed in excess of 20Kg and cost a staggering £5,000 – a real show-stopping centrepiece for any glamorous reception.
Of course Wedding Ideas couldn’t resist a nibble of the other cakes on offer including Langs’ most popular flavours, Lavender, Chocolate with Rum Buttercream, Vanilla Rose and Sicilian Lemon. Lavender was our favourite of the bunch, with its gorgeous colouring and deliciously light and summery taste – a real hit for spring/summer weddings in 2014 and the perfect inspiration for your colour theme.
Whether you’re looking for a classic or a contemporary cake design for your big day, Langs of London have got it covered. They also specialise in statement cakes – the piece de résistance of any reception, and something that will have your guests talking for years to come!

Lavender wedding cakes are a huge hit at the @LangsofLondon launch and of course I went along to try them for myself: http://t.co/SAiy12eR9y
@wimagazine Do you have any Battenburg tiered cakes in your archives by any chance?
I spent £200 on ours and thank goodness it wasnt more because it never turned up. made me realise it would never of been worth spending so much on a wedding cake personally because nobody cared anyway, the whole day was perfect. if Id had no budget however, im not saying I wouldn’t get a fancy cake 😉 x
OMG, what happened? Why didn’t they turn up?
Aparantly a poor member of staff forgot to finish it and because it was a Sunday we couldn’t contact them. Thankfully a member of staff from our venue went a got sone iced fruit cakes from tescos and decorated it with flowers so we had something to cut and serve. The cake company gave us a full refund and also money towards a night out together. X

My mum has made my fruit layer and me and one of my bridesmaids are making the sponge layers and decorating it all! 6 months to get practicing!!! 😀
Wendy Sayers – what do you reckon??! 😉
What a waste of money. Its not even that great. My wedding cake cost a fraction of the price and was so special. It was 100% designed for us by a great lady Mary Hnatyszyn-wight and was made with such love care and attention. It was one of my favourite things about our day.
I think we can do better than that Cheryl. But £5,000 is a bargain – I’m charging you £6,000! 😉
Wow take a look at this wedding cake! #huge #beautiful #cake http://t.co/kGaNtm5SoA
Me and my fiancé are making a rainbow cake for our wedding =)
Wow Rainbow cakes are so cool! Definitely send us a picture!
Will be a couple of years before we can afford to get married. Still save us a bit.

“@wimagazine: The hot new flavour for wedding cakes in 2014 is… http://t.co/olQbXqTJIs” As tasted at the @LangsofLondon launch! X
My mum made ours because she used to do wedding cakes and catering for a living. It cost her quite a bit for the ingredients with being a fruit cake with booze in, but nothing like the price of buying one in a traditional wedding cake (maybe £200ish at a guess?). However, if I hadn’t had someone to do that I think I would have bought those tiers you can get from m&s and decorated it myself-seems ridiculous to spend a huge amount on something that will just be eaten.
