Your Cake Planner
7 Step Guide to Help You Choose Your Wedding Cake
By Jan Littlejohn

|
RESEARCH
Look at as many bridal magazines, Internet sites and
Cake magazines as you can, to get ideas on designs and
colours
TASTE
Try lots of different flavours to find out that you and
your future husband prefer
COLOUR
Consider your wedding style and or theme, and what
colours you are having and how you want to incorporate that
into your wedding cake design.
SHAPE
Think about the shape you want your cake to be. Have you
considered how many tiers you will have. You will need to
combine a mix of the style of your wedding and the number of
mouths you need to feed.
ROLE
Will your cake be the only dessert you serve your
guests, or will it be surrounded by other sweets on a
dessert table?
BUDGET
How much money do you want to spend on your wedding
cake? If you are like most brides, your wedding cake will
ring up at approximately $3 to $6 per slice. Before you
schedule an appointment with your cake designer, sit down
and work out what realistic figure you and your budge can
afford.
TASTING
The best part about shopping for a cake decorator has
got to be the cake tasting
BUDGET TIPS
Have only a small wedding cake for cutting and another
out the back to serve to your guests
If you have your heart set on a four tier cake you could
hire a tiered plate stand and use iced cup cakes
co-ordinated to match your wedding colours.
Instead of having your cake decorated, ask you cake
decorator to ice it only and use your bouquet as the top
decoration. Be careful that your flowers have not been
sprayed with any chemicals

Jan we just
wanted to say thank you so much for doing such a fabulous
job for our ceremony! There were certainly plenty of
interruptions and you managed to make light of each and
every one of them! We really feel that our ceremony
perfectly reflected the people that we are and that had a
lot to do with your concentration to the finer details; even
dressing to fit with our colour scheme! It was wonderful!!!
We had so many guests ask where we found you as well as many
family members, even a week later, saying how professional
you were and how personalised you made the ceremony. Thank
you for all of your time and effort and we will most
certainly be recommending you to any of our friends who say
“yes” in the future.
