Cake !

A perfect wedding would not be complete without the perfect cake ! Here are a few things to consider as you begin to scout out your sweet treat.
- Ask around. There is no better critic then family and friends! See if they have any recommendations for you to check out!
- Browse their portfolio, website and ask for references if you don't feel like you have the feel for them yet
- Before choosing the right baker for the job, ask how busy their weekends get, and who will be delivering your cake. Will someone qualified be on site after the delivery in case the cake is in need of touch ups ?
- How much of a deposit is required at the time of consultation / ordering?
- How many guests will you be serving? Do you want to save some cake? Are you serving something else as a late night sweet? All of these questions factor into getting yourself the most cost efficient cake so you arent wasting half of it!
- Brainstorm on cake toppers. the most simple cae can be dressed up by an elaborate topper.
- Be sure to pick flavors and icing's accoring to your venue. A buttercream, whipped topping cake will not do so well for an outdoor tented wedding!
- Does the baker charge a delivery / set-up fee? Most will waive this cost - so be sure to ask !
Finally, be sure to enjoy the cake you pick! Go through all the sample flavours with your fiancee and pick something that you both enjoy !

Have your cake and eat it too !
