Deciding on what kind of wedding cake a couple wants is often a choice foregone until the big day looms large. If you’re having a hard time choosing the style of cake you want, here are some answers to common questions that will help you make the right decision.
Q. What do I tell the cake decorator on our first meeting?
A. Firstly, have an idea of the style of cake you want. Have some magazine cut outs to show your cake decorator to give them a good idea of what you expect.
You then need to tell them the number of people who will be eating the cake and the role of the cake (will guest be eating on the night or taking it home: Are you keeping the top tier)
Q. Does my cake have to be white?
A. No, Although generally most people still opt for white, you have a wide range of choices available to you. Keep in mind your colour scheme and theme for your wedding and design a cake accordingly.
Q. How do I personalise my cake?
A. Try including detail from your wedding dress onto the cake. For example the beading or embroidery. Check with your cake designer if they can recreate.

A. Traditionally the cake is placed in front of the bridal table with an engraved silver knife, cake serve, champagne and two champagne flutes. Traditional decorations are usually the sugared almonds or fabric from the bridesmaids dresses. However the bridesmaids bouquets or a flower arrangement is also acceptable.
