Top 10 Wedding Tips for your cake, a surprise for your partner, and party favors your guests will actually love!
1. THE MORE THE MERRIER!
If a large cake is not your style, opt for several smaller cakes in varying yet complimentary designs. Grouped together on a single table, the collection of cakes will add interest and charm to your décor!
2. GO ON, INDULGE!
Traditional flavors like vanilla and chocolate are guaranteed crowd pleasers, but if your cake is not the only dessert of the evening why not indulge in a more adventurous flavour?
3. A SWEETSCAPE FOR YOUR SWEET
Nothing combines decadence and décor like a themed sweet table! Inquire about our seasonal “Sweetscape” options or favors and how we can colour coordinate your desserts to your theme!
4. GET INTO SHAPE
The composition and silhouette of your wedding cake is just as important as the way it is decorated. Consider tiers of various heights or separating tiers with risers to give the cake a more interesting and statuesque look.
5. CLASSIC VS. COLOR
Not all whites match, but we can use that to our advantage! Variations of white, ivory and cream can have lovely and visually interesting effects when done right. Or go bold and highlight one of your accent colors for an interesting contrast and a true statement piece.
6. MESH YOUR METALLICS
Using gold or silver accents can add a luxurious atmosphere to your wedding décor and desserts. While gold is more lavish and silver gives an air of timeless elegance, we can combine the two to create a more vintage or ethereal mood.
7. FOR KEEPS
Incorporate an heirloom or other cherished item in your cake. Depending on the item, we can create a custom molded version on your cake as a design or peek-a-boo element.
8. BASES LOADED!
Gone are the days when all wedding cakes and cupcakes are displayed on the same old silver cake stand or wire rack. Why not use unique and more personalized bases for your dessert with custom made pieces or items found in your own home décor? We can also help source a cake stand that serves as an extension of your cake design to ensure your mood & theme are seamless.
9. HAVE YOUR “GROOM’S CAKE” AND EAT IT TOO!
It is a rare occasion when couples can agree on absolutely everything. When faced with one’s love for pastels and the others’ love of Star Wars, we suggest surprising them with a “groom’s cake”! Your wedding design won’t have to suffer, and as a bonus, you start your marriage off with a delicious compromise!
10. DO YOUR GUESTS A FAVOR
Thank your guests with something they’ll actually enjoy, that won’t end up on a dusty shelf. A delectable box of treats, mini cake, monogrammed sugar cookie, or breakfast basket for the next morning will be a fleeting indulgence but the thought will last forever.
