RESEARCH! Before you come in for your tasting feast your eyes on
as many bridal and gourmet magazines and websites as you can.
Copy, print, or tear out pictures of cakes you love and add them to your
wedding binder. Once you've collected a few ideas, start comparing
your favorites. Does a pattern start to emerge? Chances are, you'll be
drawn to a particular look or design element. Once you've gathered up
your favorite ideas, we can make suggestions that you're bound to love.

TASTE! Are you a chocoholic? Do fresh strawberries set your heart
racing? Do you and your honey have a decadent indulgence? Does the
sweet flavor of Mom's old specialty still linger in your memory? Take
a moment and close your eyes. Think about what flavors delight your
senses. Almost any kind of cake can work for a wedding, so don't rule
out cheesecake, spice cake, carrot cake, angel food cake or even chocolate.
Just remember, if you can dream it, we can probably create it.

COLOR! While you've got your eyes closed, think about what colors
you like. Is your dream cake a classic white-on-white creation? Are you
imagining colorful accents, or do visions of dark or white silky
chocolate dance in your head?

SHAPE! Have you always dreamed that your wedding cake would be
a tower of tiers? Are you into mod architecture? Does the simplicity of a
delicate single layer fit your wedding style? Keep in mind, the right
silhouette for your cake will be a combination of your style AND the
number of mouths you'll need to feed.   Today there are a multitude of
shapes and designs to choose from. Go with one shape throughout or
mix it up and showcase different shapes and sizes.

ROLE! Will your cake be the only dessert you serve your guests, or
will it be surrounded by other sweets and savories on a dessert table?
Do you want it to serve as a massive showpiece or are you content to
just have a small cake for the photos?

BUDGET! How much money do you want to spend on your wedding
cake? If you are like most brides, your wedding cake will ring up at
approximately $4.25 to $15 per slice. There are many ways to save
money while still having a grand cake. If budget is an issue please let
us know and we will be happy to give you cost saving ideas without
skimping on style.
