Choosing the perfect wedding cake

by | May 26, 2019 | Blog

Choosing the perfect cake for your dream wedding is a delicious yet tedious task. Let us help you with a few tips and tricks!

  1. Set your budget and stick to it. Last minute choices often tempt to splurge, the thought of a once-in-a-lifetime-event clouding all other sane advice. Hence, be firm with yourself and avoid the temptations as the D-day nears!
  2. Anticipate the number of guests. Larger the number of invitees, bigger the cake. Try to form an accurate figure based on invites sent, and positive responses. A reputable baker can give you a fair idea about the size you may need from their experiences.
  3. Ask around friends and relatives. There always are people who have gone through the grind before you. Find a few friends whose recommendations you respect about a bakery that can deliver what it promises. Size, taste, price and on-time delivery should be your topmost concerns.
  4. Browse Internet and Facebook. Youโ€™ll be pleasantly surprised with the creative designs of wedding cakes being baked out! Apart from the portfolio of your chosen baker, impressive designs from online sources can help you in creating a masterpiece at a good price.
  5. Tasting sessions with at least 3 bakeries. Once you have shortlisted designs and size, do ask them to arrange for a tasting session with either your family or your prospective spouse. That way youโ€™ll be able to choose flavours and toppings that your design can accommodate, and choose accordingly.
  6. Give it time. Donโ€™t wait until the last minute to design a cake. 4-6 weeks before the weeding is the ideal time to begin your hunt โ€“ sometimes a bit more.
  7. Remember too many cooks? Involve only 2-3 people in your cake hunt. Including you.

Following these basic guidelines will help you in making an intelligent choice for your wedding cake that people will remember for setting a trend and becoming a benchmark for future weddings in your family and close circles.
