Missing the Slice: Common Wedding

Cake Blunders

Wedding cakes are not those generic cakes people can easily buy from the bakers.

They’re an artisanal piece, and couples should choose the right one with utmost

attention. Despite this, many still commit mistakes that may make the celebration

memorable for the wrong reason. Other than making it a point to get a cake that’s

delightful inside and out, the couple should do away with the following mistakes:

Thinking That the Cake is Too Pricey

Cakes can be pricey, but couples shouldn’t let this prevent them

from having a good baked creation. If the couple finds a beautiful

cake on a magazine or on the web, they shouldn’t be quick with

the conclusion that it’s expensive. What they need to do first is

to ask the baker for an estimate or if they can replicate what

the couple has seen at a price they can easily pay.

Leaving Everything to the Baker

The baker may be a creative person and has many ideas in mind. But he will still base

the final product on the input of the couple. This means the couple should do away with

assuming that the baker already knows what they want. When describing their dream

cake, the couple should bring with them a detailed illustration or a photograph of the

cake they would like the baker to replicate. Specify the details like the size, the flavour,

and the colour.

Absence of Trial When Baking the Cake

Themselves

Sometimes, baking the cake at home rather than

having it done by a baker can be less expensive.

What the couple needs, however, is enough time

for trial. In some cases, those who want to bake

the cake themselves without running a trial end up

with a sloppy product

Not Hiring the Services of a Courier

You can pick up the cake from the baker’s, but bringing it could be a problem. If you

don’t want your cake to end up in crumbs and pieces, hire a delivery and transport

provider. They have equipment that will ensure your cake will remain intact along the

way.

The cake is one of the most significant symbols in an event like a wedding. That said, the

couple should make sure that it’s in the list of their priorities. When it’s a priority, they

will be able to avoid these common slipups.
