Images 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.
