On your wedding day, the devil is in the detail, and to ensure you have a perfect day, you’ll want to consider your options carefully. We’re here to help you cut through the tiers, frosting, and buttercream, to find out how to choose the perfect wedding cake.
Find a Cake Maker and Open a Discussion
The first thing you’ll need to do is find your cake maker. Some venues will be able to recommend some, or you may have recommendations from friends or family. However you choose your maker, do this early on, so you can open up a discussion about what you might like, what your options are, the pricing, as well as how long certain styles will take. Do this as early as possible to avoid disappointment – even if you’re not sure exactly how your cake will look, you can get your name in the diary.
Choose the Type of Cake You’ll Want to Eat
It’s your day, so choose a cake you’ll want to eat. Fruit cake may be traditional, but if it’s not to your taste, then don’t order it. There are so many options and flavors available, so try not to be swayed by what you think others will want. Enjoy a tasting session with your significant other and simply choose a flavor you both enjoy.
Have Your Guests in Mind
While your guests’ opinion of flavor isn’t the most important, you may want to consider any dietary requirements. If you’re having a tiered cake, why not opt for a dairy-free or gluten-free tier? In addition to dietary requirements, be realistic about the size of your cake in relation to the number of guests you’ll have.
Match Your Cake to Your Theme
Many factors can help you decide on your wedding’s theme, but your cake is not one of them. If you have a unique wedding venue that oozes elegance and class, that will impact your entire theme, so match your cake accordingly, rather than the other way around.
Get Creative with Your Cake Toppers
Add personality with your cake toppers. There are so many options for custom toppers, so you can find something that accurately depicts you and your sweetheart. From Animal Crossing characters and The Simpsons-style toppers to Star Wars and Rick and Morty-style toppers, there is something for everyone. So, why not have some fun with it? Toppers are a lovely keepsake you can treasure for years to come.
Once you picked your cake marker, style, flavor, and toppers, the hard part is over. Lastly, you’ll want to organize a delivery plan for this pièce de résistance. It’s important to take into consideration where it’s going, who at the venue will receive it, and it’s also worth checking the weather to ensure nothing will melt en route. Many cake makers know the drill and will be able to organize this stage for you. This means all that’s left for you to do is enjoy your big day.
