Engagements are worth celebrating, we know that eventually you’ll be having a big wedding bash, but there’s something about having a get together with your closest loved ones (slightly less stressful to organise too). They’ll want the opportunity to congratulate the happy couple and share some more intimate time, something that can be difficult at a wedding celebration.
An engagement party allows you to formalise the commitment between you and your future marital partner. It can give an opportunity for families to bond more prior to the nuptials happening, which can be a great way of blending together as one big family. Getting to know each other better as two families coming together is very important, as you will likely be bonded for a long time if not for life.
It can also be a good way to make a start on wedding preparations, perhaps you want to surprise your best friend and ask them the be your best man or maid of honour. Perhaps uses it to announce the full wedding party, who will be involved in the ceremony.
Overall, having an engagement party can be a great idea for many reasons, but in our experience, you can’t have a party and not have a cake. They’re a delightful addition to an engagement celebration, and they can be designed to reflect the couple’s personalities, or it could be a great way to introduce your loved ones to the theme of your wedding.
Planning a party (let alone a wedding) can be stressful, but make buying the cake easy with Sponge. We have a great range of cakes, along with other tasty treats to help you celebrate, so you could even create a dessert table for the event with Sponge. Here are some of the tasty treats you can order online for your engagement party:
Baby Sponges – if you have a few dietary requirements to cater for, our baby sponges can be the perfect solution. They are available in standard, gluten free, and vegan flavours, and there are lots of flavour to choose from. Think of our baby sponges as a cake pick and mix, you can buy pre-selected packages or you can choose your own. They also make great party favours to hand out as well, as they are all individually wrapped.
Photo Cakes – create a really personalised engagement cake with a photo cake. Have your favourite photo (perhaps of the proposal, or another special moment in your life together) printed in edible ink and placed on top of a cake. Our photo cakes are available as either a cake for 8 or a cake for 16, and you can choose between a chocolate cake, or a Victoria Sponge Cake.
Brownies – Our brownies are indulgent treats that are sure to make everyone happy. We’ve created a few delicious flavours for you to choose from, and you can enjoy our brownies cold, or why not warm them up and enjoy them with some ice-cream, cream, or custard as a scrumptious dessert. We’ve also created miniature baby brownies, which are bite-sized versions of our large brownies. Just like our baby sponges they are individually wrapped and great for handing out to people as favours.
Whole Cakes – If you’re looking for a particular flavour, then you’ve come to the right place. There are lots of cake flavours to choose from in our whole cake range, from our classic flavour options to our more unusual ones, there’s something that everyone will love. We have also created ranges of gluten free cakes, vegan cakes, gluten and dairy free cakes, dairy free cakes, and no refined sugar cakes, so there’s something even for those with dietary requirements.
Sharing Cakes – Struggling to pick just one flavour? Check out our sharing cakes. These are the perfect crowd-pleasing cakes and are especially ideal when you simply can’t choose just one flavour of cake.
