No matter your preference, know that there is a wedding cake out there which will have you shouting from the rooftops. To start the process:
-
Take some time- jot down ideas on your phone. Colors, hobbies, sentiments, styles, cultural nuances
-
Check out cake decorators in your area. Be sure to visit websites and social media. Recommendations from friends are always good.
-
Place a call to a potential cake decorator to inform them of your date.
-
If it's a go, order a To-Go- tasting box with your 5 favorite flavors from the bakery's menu.
-
When you have thoroughly recovered from the deliciousness of your choices, select as many as you will need to accommodate each tier of your cake.
-
Call the bakery for next steps.
-
Fill out questionnaire, sign your contract and make your deposit to reserve the day.
-
Look for photos of cakes that speak to you (Pinterest is a great source).
-
Email these photos plus your ideas to your decorator.
-
Preview a sketch.
-
Repeat this last step until you and your fiancé are satisfied with the design of your cake.
-
Check it off your list.
-
Have a glass of something good.
