Getting Your Perfect Cake


With the flood of media surrounding weddings these days it's hard to sort out what you want from what everyone else is telling you you should want! So how do you pick out the perfect cake for your wedding?

First, rather than bring a picture in to be copied, print out lots of pictures. Make notes about cakes you see and what specifically you like about them. Look at other aspects of your wedding, is their a design theme or color that is running through everything. It will help your cake designer if you can come in and say, "I tend to look round over square, I like cakes with a floral theme, but not fresh flowers, appliques."

Second, think about how you would describe your wedding to others. What will be the feeling, atmosphere? What is special about your venue, is it fun, elegant, sophisticated, a garden, out in the country? What makes your wedding different from others you have attended, what do you look forward to the most?

Lastly, how would your friends describe the two of you, is there some feature or aspect of your relationship? What would your friends expect you to do?

Answering these questions will give your cake designer not only a direction, but some specific features that you like. Having this information will help the designer come up with a design that will be unique, fit with your wedding and will have your friends admiring the cake and commenting on how perfectly it suits you!
