You might not think the wedding cake makes a big impact, but it does. The cake is a big part in the décor of a wedding. When choosing a wedding cake, you want it to go with the theme of the wedding.
The first step is to find your style. Your style might be something simple, or the opposite, something that’s flashy or really decorative. Some questions to ask you self are; How many people will be coming? Where is the reception? What would go with the theme? What time of year is it? These questions can help you and the baker design a cake you will love. You can also pull ideas from elements of the wedding that you already have planned.
The second step is to think about your budget. If you give the baker an idea of how much you want to spend on the cake, it can narrow your selection and help you know what type of cake is in your range. Sometimes a cake can cost $3,000 or even up to $10,000. An amazing design might be what you want, but can also be costly. You wouldn’t want to be in debt over your wedding cake, so choose something that’s in your budget.
Step three is to make sure that it is tasty! Not only do you want the cake to look great, but you want it to taste great to. Make sure your cake is fresh and delicious! The quality of your cake should be top notch. Of course you want the outside to look beautiful, but you want the inside to taste even better. Ask your baker when the cake will be baked, and if it will be made from scratch or from a box mix. The cake can be cooked within 24 hours of when needed, but the décor should be put on moments before needed.
The fourth step is to ask for a sketch. The design of your cake should come from you and your spouse, and from the cake decorator. Having pictures of things you want on your cake, or cakes you want yours to be like is a good place to start. After that you want to design a sketch so you can easily tell the decorator what needs to be changed or what you don’t like about the cake.
The fifth and final step is to avoid real flowers. Real flowers tend to droop and wither and don’t turn out looking like you want them to. In some cases they are sprayed with insecticides. It’s good to go with faux flowers for the cake because if you are allergic to a flower but it was one of you favorites you could have it on your cake. You are planning on eating this cake, so it’s good to have everything on the cake be edible. These are 5 steps that will help you have a perfect wedding cake!
