Get Inspired

Imagine your dream cake. What does it look like? What does it taste like? Does it have a particular look, color, or theme? If you’re going for a sophisticated, modern wedding day, you might want to have a square cake – while the more traditional brides will likely opt for something round. Maybe you don’t want a traditional wedding cake at all – a funky cake arrangement, platters of cupcakes, or small individually portioned cakes are all fabulous alternatives! Bring along any bits of inspiration to your first meeting with your cake designer.

You may also want your cake to fit in with the rest of your day – perhaps there is a particular theme running throughout the rest of your décor that you’d like reflected in your cake. Your cake designer will be interested to learn all the details of your big day, such as what sorts of flowers you’ll be having, what your dress looks like, and where your wedding will take place. While these elements may seem unrelated, they can help your baker make the right choices when it comes to your cake.

A Tasty Cake

A designer wedding cake isn’t all about looks – it will taste absolutely heavenly as well! You’ll want to think about the rest of your menu when you are thinking about cake flavors – for example, if you are including a chocolate dessert in your dinner menu, you may want to have something on the fruitier side for your cake. From exotic flavors to the most traditional of vanillas, you can work with your cake designer come up with the combination that’s perfect for you and your wedding!

Wedding Cake Designer Inspiration

Not every bride can afford a designer cake – but we can all look! Checking out the most luxurious wedding cakes that are available will give you just the inspiration you need to create your own! Whether your cake will be made from scratch or by a local bakery, arming yourself with the knowledge of what’s going on in the world of couture cakes will give you a definite edge! You can then go ahead and recreate certain aspects of the cakes you love – at a price you can afford!

Designer wedding cakes range from the classic elegance to one-of-a-kind modern, whimsical creations. Add your own personal touches to your wedding cake by having the accent colors match your gown. For an elegant cake on a shoestring budge, opt for classic colors like creamy vanilla buttercream frosting in off-white, and accent it with beautiful flowers – opt for an asymmetrical pattern for a stylish designer feel.

Wedding cake designers range from the “crème de la crème” in sophisticated cities to Aunt Susan down the street – but they should all have one thing in common. They want to create the most fabulous cake they can – to help make your wedding day a day you’ll remember forever! So go ahead – and have a slice (or two!).
