Let’s talk about wedding cakes! 🎂✨
Your cake isn’t just dessert — it’s a statement piece, a photo moment and a sweet symbol of your big day. 💍
Here are 5 things to keep in mind when ordering your wedding cake:
1. Guest Count 📊 – Make sure your cake size fits your guest list. A three-tier cake looks stunning, but won’t feed 120 guests unless it’s designed to do so. The size might also depend on the time it is served: in the afternoon for or after dinner, probably additional to dessert?
2. Season & Storage ☀️❄️ – Buttercream in July? Maybe not. Ask your baker about heat-proof options or indoor display if you’re having a summer wedding. Strawberries for example are delicious in May - but in December?
3. Design & Theme 🎨 – Your cake should reflect your style. Share your color palette, florals, or Pinterest inspo with the baker early on and give them the freedom to bring in their creativity to get the best possible result.
4. Flavour First 🍰 – Don’t let looks win over taste. Book a tasting and don’t be afraid to mix flavors for different tiers. Again, think of the season and ask for fresh and seasonal ingredients, not artifical flavors.
5. Delivery & Setup 🚚 – Who’s bringing the cake? Confirm logistics, especially if your venue has tricky access or a tight timeline. Check the size and all doors the cake needs to cross.
6. Allergies & Alternatives 🌿 – Don’t forget your guests with allergies or dietary needs. Ask your baker about gluten-free, nut-free, or vegan options — or consider offering a few individual cupcakes or mini cakes aside .
Planning a wedding can be sweet — especially when the cake is just right. 💕
