| Choosing
Your Wedding Cake
Once the wedding day is
set, allow yourself plenty of time to look for the
perfect wedding cake designer.
What Should
You Take Into Account?
Size of the cake will be affected
by:
- The number of guests?
- Will you want to keep a tier?
- Is the cake served as dessert
or with just with coffee?
Shape of the Cake:
- Is there a theme to the wedding?
- This may include hearts, stars
or flowers or something more of the “exotic”.
Actual Designs
- The inspiration for the design
can come from anywhere. A suggestion is to take
as much detail to the cake designer as you possibly
can. For example, a picture or sketch of the dress,
the colour and style of flowers in the bouquets
and tables arrangements.
- Remember that you are in charge.
Do not be afraid to pick different ideas for your
cake from pictures or other cakes you may have seen.
It is our job to put those ideas into practice and
create your perfect cake.
- The more detail you have the
better chance the cake decorator will have to understand
what you want.
- The use of fresh flowers on
a wedding cake, though beautiful, is not really
recommended.
- Some flowers are naturally
hazardous and most have been sprayed with chemicals
and preservatives.
- We will always suggest using
sugar paste flowers on the cake and suggest that
fresh flowers or your bouquet be placed on the table
near the cake.
Budget:
- Set yourself a realistic budget
for the cake, but be ready to pay for what you want.
If your budget does not go to the cake of your dreams,
tell your cake maker. . there is no need to be embarrassed.
- Good cake designers,
we will be able to suggest different designs and
alternatives to fit your requirements and your budget.
