When choosing a wedding cake, we should first consider the overall theme and style of the wedding to ensure that the cake is in harmony with the atmosphere of the wedding. For example, if it is a romantic garden wedding, you can choose exquisite floral decorations; If it is a modern simple wedding, you can consider geometric patterns.
When you get married, the cakes used at the wedding are carefully selected by yourself. At the beginning of the wedding preparation, my wife and I decided to echo our romantic love story with a garden-themed outdoor wedding. Therefore, we hope that the cake can meet this theme. Later, after selecting a variety of cakes, we finally chose a cake design with flowers as the theme. Beautifully carved flowers and leaves with icing make the cake visually complement our wedding scene.
When choosing the taste, we fully consider the taste preferences of us and our guests. We like fruit-flavored desserts, so we chose strawberry and lemon-flavored cakes. This is not only our favorite, but also allows guests to feel the fresh taste when enjoying dessert. We also specially added a layer of chocolate-flavored snacks to satisfy relatives and friends who like chocolate.
In order to ensure that the cake can meet our expectations and there will be no problems, we specially arranged to meet with the cake master to discuss the design and decoration of the cake in detail. We introduced the wedding theme, scenes and preferences to the cake chef.
After fully listening to our ideas, the cake chef put forward some suggestions, such as how to skillfully integrate the elements of flowers into the cake decoration to make the overall effect more prominent. During the communication, we felt the professionalism and creativity of the cake chef, and we were more convinced that he could create satisfactory works.
Before finalizing the taste and design of the cake, we participated in the tasting activities provided by the cake shop. This is an expected process. We tasted all kinds of cakes and evaluated the taste, sweetness and texture. The tasting meeting not only confirmed the choice of taste, but also gave us a deeper understanding of the quality and production technology of the cake.
Considering our wedding budget, we discussed a suitable price range with the cake maker. According to our requirements, the cake chef provided several design schemes with different price grades, and we chose one that met our expectations and was within the budget. In this way, we can enjoy delicious cakes without causing ourselves too heavy economic burden.
After everything was confirmed, we confirmed the delivery time and place with the cake chef, as well as the details of cake placement and display. The cake master arrived in advance and put the cake in a conspicuous position at the wedding scene to ensure that it can become one of the visual focuses.
After this experience, I summed up the following experience in choosing cakes:
1, theme and style:
First of all, we should consider the overall theme and style of the wedding to ensure that the cake is in harmony with the atmosphere of the wedding. For example, if it is a romantic garden wedding, you can choose exquisite floral decorations; If it is a modern simple wedding, you can consider geometric patterns.
2, taste and level:
The taste of the cake should meet your and your partner's preferences, and at the same time, consider the taste of the guests. Regarding the number of floors, choose the appropriate number of floors according to the wedding scale and the number of guests to ensure that every guest can taste it.
3, design and decoration:
The design of cake can be creatively designed according to your love story, hobby or special meaning. Decorations can choose flowers, crystals, frosted sculptures, etc. Make the cake more unique.
4, the experience of the cake master:
It is very important to find an experienced cake chef, and you can refer to their works and word of mouth. Some cake chefs may offer free tasting opportunities, which will help you evaluate the taste and quality of cakes.
5. Budget:
Budget is an important consideration. Make sure the price of the cake is within your wedding budget. Sometimes, you can choose a small and exquisite cake as the main cake with some snacks, which is more economical and practical.
How much is a normal wedding cake?
Generally speaking, the price of wedding cake varies with the region, design complexity, taste choice and other factors. According to my experience, I can share some approximate price ranges for your reference.
At my own wedding, I chose a simple and exquisite three-layer cake, decorated with flowers, and the taste was chocolate and strawberry. In my city, the price of such a cake is about 4000 to 6000 yuan. If your budget is tight, you can also consider some niche cake shops or buy your own cake materials for DIY, so the cost may be lower.
If you want more decorations and complicated designs, or need a bigger cake to meet the number of guests, the price will increase accordingly. Some cake chefs will also charge extra fees according to the design and decoration requirements of the cake.
When choosing a cake, the most important thing is to ensure that you can get a satisfactory cake within the budget. At the same time, you may wish to create a unique and delicious work with the cake master according to your own interests and creativity.
I hope my experience sharing can help you choose a wedding cake, and I wish you a sweet and happy wedding!
