  • Go to weddings, when you can get an invitation and look at the wedding cake - this will give you the opportunity to to taste it as well which could lead you to - and / or away from certain bakeries as well as giving you ideas for wedding cake designs.
  • 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?

  • Wedding cakes come in all colors and shapes and can be adapted to what you want. Decide which shape of tier you prefer and how many you want. Three tiers are most preferable. From the traditional designs with garlands and icing flowers to a cake that looks like a stack of wedding presents, to a stack of crowns, to a tower of pastry, pillars, and flowers complete with butterflies - your options are endless so don’t wear yourself out worrying about how to get an idea for your wedding cake designs.
