magnificent your wedding cake is. Choosing the right cake should

Choose the right bakeshop If you have an idea on where the best
bakery is in your city, then head to that place immediately. You
can ask suggestions from your friends or family members also.
Get a reservation at once. Do not procrastinate. The
availability of cake decorators might be restricted. Be sure to
drop by the bakeshop to talk about the designs, flavors and
other things you wanted to add to your cake. Be sure to give a
detailed description of exactly what you want your cake to be.
Give the vendor ample time to prepare, approximately six months
ahead of your big day would do. You may need to pay a deposit
fee for reservation.
The right taste Aside from the look of the cake, keep in mind
that cakes are made primarily for eating. They should taste good
as well as they look good. The texture and flavor of the cake
itself is important. When scouting for a bakeshop, don't
hesitate to ask for cake samples of the flavors you want. If
they do not allow this, jump to the next store.
Check on your budget Wedding cakes ranges from $300 to $1000 or
so. Cost primarily depends on the cake design you want. You have
to pay for the cake decorator's fee on top of the cost of the
cake itself. Know what your budget is ahead of time. Some shops
may give you free delivery too. Most bakeshop has a standard
number of servings for each cake type. Know how many guests
would attend your wedding so you would know more or less how
much money you would allocate for the cake.
Flowers as decorations Flowers have been a traditional thing on
weddings. You can well put them in cakes too. You can either
choose from fresh flowers or artificial ones. Fresh flowers are
beautiful addition to your cakes. But it is very important that
you choose fresh flowers wisely. Be sure that they are free from
chemicals. Just to be on the safe side, sugar flowers are safer.
These are edible gum paste decorations that have wire or
toothpicks on them.
Where to place the cake Most cakes, especially on summer, might
end up melted under the heat of the sun. They can also cause
flowers and flavored curls to dry up. Not to mention the
possibility of flies gathering on your priced cake. Just be
sure, always have a back up site where you can store your cakes
to preserve its look and taste. Never place your wedding cake
near the dance floor or where there is a heavy flow of traffic.
You might just see your cake fall down. That's not a good sight
at all! Be sure to check the sturdiness of the table you would
place your cake.

opts are done beside the cake. It's always nice to give out that
bright smile beside you're well decorated cake that brings out
your personal statement.
