IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING YOUR WEDDING CAKE...TIPS FROM THE PROFESSIONALS!
- Avoid price shopping by phone. Calling a bakery and asking prices of cakes is like calling a dress shop and asking the price of a dress (there are so many options to consider). Make an appointment and get prices on the cake styles you are actually considering. Many bakeries lure brides in with low prices, but do not include special flavors or styles in the "bargains" they quoted.
- Choose a professional bakery. Relatives and friends may have good intentions, but wedding cakes demand special set-up and handling. Bakeries that do consistently good work will be trusted and referred by others in the wedding industry, as well as many satisfied customers.
- One-of-a-kind designer cakes are exciting, but be realistic. If a cake looks expensive in a magazine, it will probably be expensive for you to have it made for your wedding. Be wary of bakeries showing only magazine photos with no examples of their own work to view. It is important for you to feel confident that your custom design will not be an "experiment" for your baker on your wedding day.
- Be sure to discuss all of your plans for additional decorations on your cake as you finalize your order. Many bride and groom statues were not designed for use as cake ornaments, and require additional reinforcements! Fresh flowers, ribbons and seashells are beautiful, but be careful that those decorations will not stress the edges of your cake.
- Remember that your wedding cake will sit on display at your reception for 4-6 hours without refrigeration! Whipped cream icing and cheesecake may be delicious, but many times these materials are not sturdy enough to keep your wedding cake looking beautiful throughout the entire duration of your event. Caterers and event specialists have seen MANY wedding cake horrors...ask for their recommendations.
- Consider carefully where your cake will be displayed. All of the hugging and kissing, dancing and drinking at weddings poses potential danger to wedding cakes placed too near your guests. If you wish to have your cake "wheeled in" or moved for a grand entrance, be sure your caterer is confident and experienced in cake transport. If your reception is at home or outdoors, be sure your cake is not left unattended outdoors. Children, birds, squirrels, dogs and direct sunlight all are harmful to tempting wedding cakes.
- Saving your top tier? Protect your cake from food odors in your freezer by enclosing it in a large Tupperware container, or by wrapping it in foil or cellophane. To defrost your cake, simply place it in the refrigerator for two days to keep it from "sweating" and getting soggy.
