Wedding Cakes: Dos and Don'ts

When planning your big day, selecting the perfect wedding cake is one of the many important decisions you'll need to make. Published on January 6, 2020.

It's essential to choose a good baker who can bring your vision to life, and to factor in the time it takes to prepare the cake, which is usually three weeks to a month.

Here are some dos and don'ts to keep in mind when choosing your wedding cake:

Dos

  • Have a budget in mind, as wedding cakes are often charged per kilo.
  • Give your cake the spotlight and display it prominently at your wedding.
  • Choose a cake that complements the theme and style of your wedding, including the venue, attire, and décor.
  • Consider the weather and choose the right icing option to prevent the cake from melting.

Don'ts

  • Don't have a close friend or relative make your cake, as this can lead to disappointment and last-minute excuses.
  • Don't pick up the cake yourself, as this can cause unnecessary stress and potential disasters.
  • Don't be too complicated with your cake design, as this can lead to disappointment and logistical issues.
  • Don't forget to eat your cake on your big day, as this is a special treat that you and your spouse will enjoy together.
