Cake Tasting
This is the fun part of choosing a wedding cake... right? Meet with your baker to ensure you and your fiance are both fully satisfied with the flavor(s) you choose for your cake. From cake flavors to frosting options, the possibilities are endless and you're sure to find a combination to fit the taste of everyone invited!Narrow Down a Style
There are a TON of wedding cake styles available. From towering tiers to a cupcake display, now is the time to decide what style of cake works best for your wedding day. Cupcakes are becoming more and more popular for weddings. They are already evenly divided and you can ensure you have enough with an easy calculation.Know the Numbers
It's important to have a rough estimate of the number of attendees coming to your wedding reception. You don't want anyone to miss out on the beautiful cake you've spent time to pick out and share with your guests! Many bakers will have an easy break down for the size of cake needed for your wedding size.Consider the Weather
Different cake styles and icing types can be easily influenced by the weather. Be sure to discuss the time of year and temperature estimate with your baker before deciding what option is best for your big day. A hot summer's day can easily melt icing in no time - it's best that you are upfront about the weather possibilities.Treat the Groom
Another popular feature for weddings is to order a special cake for the groom. This can showcase a favorite sport, drink, or anything that makes him unique. It's a fun way to incorporate his style and taste into your big day, especially if you are handling most of the planning.
Look Into Delivery Options
Discuss delivery options with your baker. It's important that the cake can safely be transported to your venue and easily set up. Also ask your catering company and/or baker about cake cutting and serving. A designated server can help ensure the right size of pieces are being cut and that you have enough cake for all in attendance.
Tips to Cut Back on Cake Costs:
-Use a basic sheet cake for serving while you have an extravagant but smaller wedding cake.-Steer away from a large amount of tiers, homemade sugar flowers, and specialty cake decorations.
-Garnish the cake yourself with fresh flowers or ribbon.
-Provide a desert table with other treat options to reduce the amount of wedding cake needed.
-Strive for smaller servings to make it last longer, when cutting the cake.
