Once you have answered all of these questions, Montreal Weddings suggests that you meet with a baker. Here is some additional advice for the meeting to help you choose your cake:
Provide the baker with as many details as you possibly can.
Be precise when discussing flavours. You may also want to discuss the decoration and fondant flavours.
Consider your wedding theme and decor. The baker can magically turn your wedding cake into a decorative element that will fit with your theme.
The cake will be shared with everyone at your reception. It is important to be precise about the number of people attending.
The cake must be delicious. It is important to choose a baker who is known for wedding cakes. Many bakers will even offer a wedding cake tasting session.
Instead of one big cake, you can choose to have several smaller cakes that are affordable, give you several flavour choices, and simple to distribute as well as lay out on the table.
If you see cake styles that you love, don’t hesitate to bring pictures to show your baker.
Ask for advice. Bakers are experts who can help you find what you are looking for.
