In
most wedding receptions these days, the cake can easily steal the
scene from the bride and groom, especially if it is perfected into a
masterpiece. With towering heights and elegant designs cascading down
its tiers, the wedding cake has evolved to be more than just an eye
candy for the event, but rather, an expression of the couple’s
personalities and styles. Choosing the
perfect cake for your wedding should, therefore, be made
carefully and purposely.
One
of the things to consider is the cake supplier. Apart from regular
bakeries, many other sources now offer beautiful custom cakes that
cater to clients’ personal preferences. Some specialty shops even
work exclusively on wedding cakes alone, putting their entire team on
one order, making sure that the final product will be worthy of
presentation at the event.
Allow
sufficient time for the cake ordering and cake making process; three
to six months ahead of the event should be ideal. Keep in mind that
the baker needs time to order the ingredients and decorations,
especially if you want your cake design to be really customized. The
preparation period will also give you enough time to make revisions
to the flavor and cake design, granted that the changes you’d want
to implement are feasible and reasonable considering the time frame.
The
endless design possibilities make custom cakes such a huge hit today.
Working with professional cake makers will help you come up with good
ideas for the design.
