Choosing a Wedding Cake? Avoid these Mistakes!

For a bride, there are three iconic items that should be present on her wedding day: the gown, the bouquet, and the wedding cake. Unlike the former two, however, your cake is something that both you and your guests should love—it is, after all, intended to be desert. If you’re currently looking for the perfect wedding cake, steer clear of these common mistakes:

Not Taking the Time
As with other aspect of your weddings, your cake should be carefully chosen as well. Take the time to visit multiple bakeries, looking at their designs and sampling their cakes. Explain to them your wedding’s theme or style and see who best grasps what your dream cake looks like. Only then should you book your baker.

Going with Simple Designs to Save Money
There is no shortage of exquisitely designed wedding cakes, but these creations often come with hefty price tags. Don’t despair though; chances are your baker can recreate the design or do modifications that will bring down the cost. So go ahead, it never hurts to ask.

Forgetting About Your Reception Menu
When talking to your baker, don’t forget to mention what food will be served in your reception, especially if your caterer will also be serving desert items. Remember, your cake should complement the flavors of other dishes, not duplicate or clash with them.

You May Now Eat the Cake: On Wedding Cakes

Nothing can be more awe-inspiring than beholding a multi-way pleat cake, especially the types made for wedding occasions. Such a stunning wedding cake boasts of six layers of finely-sculpted icing made from a combination of high quality ingredients. It showcases intricate folds of different shapes and sizes and can feature a variety of beautiful and detailed icing art. Any newlywed couple would be thrilled and proud to have such a lavish cake gracing their reception gathering.

Multi-tiered cakes are a product of painstaking labor and unparalleled creativity. Wedding cake creators set up appointments with their clients several months before the date of the occasion to learn more about their personality and interests, which play a crucial role in the design of the cakes. The creators also work closely with their clients by getting them involved in the planning stage by asking for their input and suggestions to deliver customized works that fit their budget. They also conduct cake-tasting to help the customers choose the flavors they want and if they have concerns with the ingredients. Some of best-selling flavors among couples include chocolate, fresh vanilla, exotic mango, and refreshing lemon.

Cake designers provide a series of sketches of the designs until they receive approval from their customers. Only when a designer gets the go signal can they begin baking and sculpting a cake that is both delicacy and art. This close collaboration between creator and client ensures that each cake comes out perfect.
