Tips

Once the wedding day is set, allow yourself plenty of time to look for the perfect wedding cake designer.

What You should 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 us . . there is no need to be embarrassed.
