RECEPTION Take Cake 10197 views
Cutting the cake is a long-standing wedding tradition. But wedding cakes these days are often too good to cut. Talented cake maker, Zoe Clark tells WeddingPath brides how to get the most out of a wedding cake designer.
Choosing a wedding cake is one of the fun parts of planning a wedding. It is a sweet treat for you and your guests and provides yet another chance for you to add a personal touch to your special day. Unlike the weddings of yesteryear, wedding cakes these days come in a variety of flavours, shapes and designs - meeting every bride's whim and desire. So how to choose a wedding cake designer who can cater for you down to the very last detail, making the fantastic wedding cake in your mind's eye a reality?
Plenty of cakemakers offer a bespoke wedding cake service and will design a wedding cake which is unique to you and your special day. But before starting the long trawl to find that dream cake maker, work through Zoe's checklist.
———————————————————
ZOE'S CHECKLIST
♥ How many guests will be attending?
♥Is the wedding cake being served as desert?
♥Know your budget!
♥Formulate a basic idea of what you are after.
♥Make a 'style file' with pictures and swatches.
♥Order your cake at least 3 months before the day.
♥Sample a few flavours - it needs to taste good!

Finally, once you have decided on the design make sure all information is clearly written up to avoid any potential misunderstandings or mix-ups. Check all the details are correct once you have received confirmation and re-confirm everything if necessary perhaps a month before the wedding.
