Your Perfect Wedding Cake!

So, you want to get a wedding cake, but not just any cake, one that fit perfectly with your venue, your colors, your wedding theme and your own personal style.  How do you get to that design?  At White Rose Bakery it is so important to us that your cake is perfect for you.  We don't want you to pick cake #166 out of an album, we want you to have your cake and this is how we do it:

Our design process starts with your first call to our bakery.  We will need to know the date of your wedding to be sure that we have an opening.  We will need to know the venue for your reception and approximately how many guests you are expecting.  In addition to setting a convenient time for the consultation we will also be reminding you to bring anything and everything that will give us a starting point for your design.  This can include, invitations, save the date cards, dress pictures, color swatches, styles of cake you have liked and anything else you want to include.

At the consultation, after you have samples our yummy cakes, we can start doing some sketching.  Do you like round or square?  A steeper cake or a more traditional spacing?  Do you want fresh flowers, sugar flowers?  Are you looking for a more traditional cake or do you want something more cutting edge?  What design elements do you want on the cake and how would you like to incorporate your colors?  We will take you through each of these questions, giving you different options.  Once we have an idea of the different elements you want to include we will do two or three quick sketches just to get an idea of how the cakes will look.  This gives you the opportunity to pick a cake you've actually seen.  Once the design is decided upon we will do a larger, full color sketch of your cake.  If there are specific design elements then samples will be prepared and we will give you a 4"x6" panel that will look just like the side of your cake.  Once the sketch and samples are approved and the flavors decided upon, we're set.  We will work with your wedding staff to ensure that your cake is displayed at your venue and waiting to take your breath away!
