In order to choose both your perfect flavour a wedding tasting consultation  is imperative when it comes to choosing your wedding cake not only is it one of the yummiest meetings you will attend (next to your catering!) it is also your chance to ask all your questions, see previous designs and of course sample cake! Its also the perfect time to get to know your cake designer.
I love nothing more than a natter about your wedding plans over cake and make a consultation an important part of my clients wedding cake experience with myself. 

There are many elements to consider when designing your wedding cake so these are my list of the most important questions that needed to be answered when considering the logistically implications of your wedding cake.:

How many guests are you having? How large is the size of the space you will have to  display your cake? what type of venue are you having Barn, Manor house, Hotel your cake designer will need to take all of this into account when designing your cake as you  don’t want it to be too big or too small you want it to own its space at the venue. 


​

Consider the style of your wedding cake,  is there a colour scheme or wedding theme? If you’re having a rustic wedding, you want a wedding cake to complement this look. Your cake should work flawlessly with your venue, the season, your floral styling, and centrepieces. For instance, if you have a beautiful pink avalanche roses in your bouquet why not incorporate sugarcraft versions into your wedding cake? Often, elements of your wedding day can inspire your cake. From the colour of your bridesmaids dresses to the lace on your wedding dress all of these elements can add the most spectacular details to your wedding cake.

​

how you would like your cake to be decorated is also another important factor. Do you want it to be elaborate and extravagant? Or would you prefer something rustic and elegant? There are so many gorgeous ways to decorate your wedding cake, from the finish of the cake Buttercream or fondant iced? to all the finer design details including fresh flowers, fruits, handmade sugar flowers, and of course, cake toppers!

How you choose to display your perfect wedding cake is also another element that will have an impact on the overall design. The cake stand that you choose to display your mouth-watering masterpiece on will should also tie in not only with the venue but the cake itself. I recommend having a designated dessert table to really make your cake stand out from the crowd. This can be adorned with candles,floral arrangements, divine fabrics and more.
