Personalizing the cake flavor is good, but too much personalization can lead to the cake not eaten; just left on the table after been served, and that can make the bride sad. Seen that happen before and I tasted the cake. It was terrible!
11.
Since a wedding cake has different layers, it’s advisable to have at least two flavors but not more. If you can’t decide on a flavor, choose a traditional cake flavor.
12.
Wedding cakes are affordable and expensive too! Big and Fabulous looking cake comes at a price!
13.
The cake size (bigger and fancier) + the flavors + the ingredients + any special flavors + the decorations (outer design style) you pick + the delivery location = the overall price of the cake.
14.
Advise your cake baker of your wedding start time and location, and be sure to ask your baker about the delivery price.
15.
The cake baker should deliver the cake to your wedding location to avoid disaster. They are good at it and have experience doing so! Trying to save money on delivery might lead to catastrophe with the cake messing up during delivery.
16.
While your wedding cake will be beautiful and delicious, not everyone likes cake, and that is true with your wedding guest. So have other options as part of your dessert servings for those who don’t like cake to enjoy during dessert time.
17.
One more thing, by the time cakes are served, not everyone will get the cake or flavor they like so don’t let that bother you.
18.
Remember, have fun tasting the flavors, Keep the flavor simple & design the fabulous cake of your wedding dream!
I wish you all the best with your planning & marriage!
