Top Tips for Wedding Cakes

Do you know everything there is to know about wedding cakes? The more informed you are, the better decisions you will make. We've got you covered with out top tips. 

Taste the Cake: 

As you start setting up appointments, find out when each baker's next tasting is scheduled. At tastings, client are invited into the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions about fillings and menu. Also review portfolios. This is your opportunity to meet the baker and fully understand the range of their abilities. 

Select a Style: 

Deal with the cake after all the decision about dress style and reception decor have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the decision and structure of your wedding cake. Choose a cake that's compatible with the style of the venue, the season, your grown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want colorful accents ( such as sugar flowers or icing ribbons ), give your baker fabric swatches. The cake should be part of the wedding, not a glaring sideshow.

Size it Up: 

Generally, three tiers will serve 50 to 100 guests; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or more. If the reception is in a grand room with high ceilings, consider increasing the cake's stature with columns between the tiers. ( A "stacked" cake is one with its layers stacked directly atop each other, with no separators.)
