CAKED IT!

Funeral cakes, also known as mourning cakes, were a tradition in the past where family and friends would gather after a funeral to share food and offer condolences to the bereaved. These cakes were typically made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, and butter, and were often flavoured with spices like nutmeg and cinnamon.

​

Funeral cakes are increasingly becoming more popular again today as a meaningful way to honour the memory of a loved one. As with every event in our lives we celebrate with a cake, christenings, birthdays and weddings, custom cakes made for funerals celebrate the life of our loved one.  These unique cakes can be decorated with symbols or images that represent the deceased, such as their favourite hobby, sports team, or a religious or cultural symbol.

​

If you're considering a funeral cake as part of your funeral or memorial plans, there are many resources available to help you create a meaningful and memorable tribute. Professional bakers and caterers can work with you to create a custom cake or dessert that reflects your loved one's personality and tastes, while funeral directors and planners can offer guidance on incorporating food into your funeral or memorial service. Ultimately, the goal of a funeral cake is to provide comfort and support to the bereaved, and to create a space for sharing memories and honouring the life of the deceased.
