10 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Wedding Cake


1. Schedule a tasting. It is never too
soon. Make sure you have at least
 three flavors to choose from.



2.Wedding cake orders should be
 placed at least two months
before your wedding.
 
3. Set a budget and stick to it. Your
wedding cake should be approximately
2.5% of your total wedding budget.

4. Determine how many people will be attending. You'll be embarrassed if there
 isn't enough to go around or eating cake for a month if you over estimate.



5. Make the deposit when you have chosen
 the baker.This will ensure your order and
date are reserved. There's nothing worse
than finding your dream cake only to find
 the date of your wedding is already
booked! Also be aware of when the final
 payment is due. This is the last thing
you will have on your mind the day
 of the wedding.
                                                                                                   

6. Establish whether the reception will be in doors or out. Living in Florida means
 unpredictable weather and extreme heat or rain can surely ruin the look of the cake (especially fondant).


7. Think outside the box.
Cupcake towers are a
new trend popping up
 in weddings everywhere.

8. Don't be afraid of color. Incorporate your colors/theme into your cake.

9. Arrange ahead of time what time the
 cake needs to be delivered. You
don't want the cake designer
setting-up as guests arrive.


10. Remember this your day,
so have fun with it!
