  • Ask to look at your friends and family’s wedding photographs. It’s a rare individual that won’t jump at the chance to show them off and the picture of the cake they commissioned might inspire you.
  • If you are talented at design, you could even sit down and draft your own wedding cake designs that reflects your wedding only.
  • Most bakeries have a book that contains a picture gallery of wedding cake designs but save your visit to any pastry chef until after you have a pretty good idea of what you want. Why?
