WEDDING<br />

OCTOBER OCTOBER <strong>2018</strong> | <strong>2018</strong> ISSUE | ISSUE #72 | #72 WEDDING<br />

STEP 4: CONSIDER THE COSTS<br />

The cost of a cake is determined<br />

by the number of servings needed<br />

and the complexity of the design.<br />

Sugar flowers can spike the costs<br />

because they are handcrafted, timeconsuming<br />

— and thus expensive.<br />

STEP 5: GET INSPIRED<br />

Your overall wedding style can<br />

kick-start the design process with<br />

your baker, but don’t stop there.<br />

Mood boards, images of cakes you<br />

love, your wedding colour palette,<br />

your dress — any and all of these<br />

elements will get the cake design<br />

wheels in motion.<br />

STEP 6: BE FEARLESS WITH<br />

FLAVOURS<br />

Some bakers charge extra for<br />

so-called premium flavours and<br />

fillings, others do not, so be sure to<br />

establish any cost upgrades at your<br />

tasting so you don’t get hit with<br />

surprise surcharges. I encourage<br />

people to push the flavour envelope.<br />

Why go with vanilla, chocolate<br />

or red velvet when there’s praline<br />

and hazelnut cake accented with<br />

chocolate mousse and a drizzle of<br />

caramel to consider?<br />

Your cake should be both beautiful<br />

and delicious: Don’t choose flavours<br />

you think everyone will like, choose<br />

the flavours you like. Remember, it’s<br />

your wedding and this is your cake.<br />

Until next time...<br />
