Selecting The Perfect Wedding Cake

Fantasizing about selecting the perfect wedding cake but don’t know where to start? We are here to help you choose the cake of your dreams.

Get Recommendations      

Begin your research about three to six months before the wedding date, or sooner if you plan on visiting a popular bakery. Before you begin your search online, ask recently married friends or family if they have any recommendations – word of mouth is typically the most powerful tool.

Narrow the Search

Select a few reputable bakeries and take a look at their designs online or in store (if they are close by).  Once you are confident you have narrowed down your search set up a few interviews where you can ask the bakers their estimated cost, look through their portfolio, and best of all taste some delicious cakes.

Get Creative with Ideas

Do you want to add a touch of flare or go classic? Pay attention to upcoming trends, consider your wedding colour scheme or think about adding a personal touch to the cake.

Communicate

After you have brainstormed a general idea of what you want, be sure to share as much information with the baker as possible. Provide details about your wedding such as the location, the level of formality, your dress, the colors, the flowers, the menu. You can even bring in your invitations to show as inspiration.

Put it in Writing

Ensure perfection by specifying all details including the date, place, and time of the wedding, style and flavor, are noted in a contract with your baker. The designer should update the contract and make note of anytime you change your mind. Whether it is a description or sketch, you should have a clear understanding of how your cake will look on your wedding date.
