The Best Cake Decorator
How do you pick the best cake decorator or designer for your wedding? For all of the advertising options in the 21st century, truthfully, word of mouth is still the best way to go. You should be able to get good advice from your married friends, relatives or co-workers. If you simply cannot get good advice from your acquaintances–or you just don’t trust their advice–you’ll have to shop by yourself, comparing both price and quality.
If you’re having your wedding catered, your caterer will probably offer to provide the cake. Resist the temptation to accept this offer without first checking other options. Often, you can save a lot of money by getting the cake from someone else, preferably somebody who specializes in wedding cakes. Not only that, but often, the cake will look nicer when coming from a professional designer rather than a caterer, who caters all manner of events, not just weddings.
Don’t start shopping around until you’ve decided what you want your cake to look like, as well as what your wedding colors will be and what the facility colors are. You should also have an idea of what the temperature will be at your reception hall. And don’t forget to have a good idea of how many guests you expect, as this will dictate how many slices you need from your cake.
Finally, make sure to view samples of cakes your decorator has done in the past. Ask for samples that approximate what you’re looking for. Using a well-thought-out plan such as this will make sure you find the decorator who is best for your wedding.
