GETTING IT MADE

Your best bet when choosing which professional to go with is to work out what you want and choose the most suit suitable. You should ask yourselves the following questions:

• Have we a particular unique type of cake in mind that is only available from the one place?

• What is our budget?

• Does it really matter to us ‘who’ makes our cake?

• Have we met or spoken to a professional who we liked and know we can trust?

Once you have answered these questions, then you can go on to get in touch with various suitable cake makers and then ask them a series of questions:

• Can we have a look at some samples of your work?

• Have you any tasters that we could try?

• Have you any references?

• How much is our design likely to cost?

• Most importantly, are you available to make the cake for, and set-up on, our Wedding day?

Taking your time to choose the professional(s) you use to make your cake is well worth it, so make sure you put plenty of time aside and book a good 6 to 12 months in advance (even more if you do plan to use so-and-so on the Strand!).

As the Wedding Cake is one of the central focal points of the day (behind the Bride and Groom of course), getting it’s look and taste right is crucial. Take your time, find the most suitable supplier within your budget, get exactly the design you want not what you are pressured into, and get it right!
