Cakes in Leicester

Wedding cakes can be a hidden minefield — alcohol-based flavourings and non-halal gelatine turn up more often than you'd expect. Always check the ingredients directly with the baker rather than taking it on trust. And don't forget to confirm delivery and setup arrangements while you're at it.

Leicester has a long-established South Asian community, so family-run caterers, decor and mehndi artists are easy to find, and many have worked alongside each other for years.
