First, your dessert should match your day,
so take everything into account. If you have
a paisley themed wedding, a large tiered
cake with paisley fondant would make a
beautiful room centerpiece. Do you share
an interest such as running? Get a replica
cake of your running shoes tied together

trends and bakeries can keep up. If you have
a sweet idea, find someone who can work

Bakeries fill up quickly. Stay safe and
book six months in advance if possible.
Shop around in general for bakeries, and
when you find one you think can satisfy
your needs for taste, quality, efficiency and
personality, book a date.
To find a bakery, trust your gut (literally)
during tastings. Also, make sure you're
comfortable with the efficiency and
professionalism of the bakery. They should
return your phone calls and e-mails
promptly, be flexible, willing to customize,
familiar with your reception venue and
guarantee and on-time dessert, including
set-up, delivery, and clean up if necessary.
Don't be afraid to switch bakeries if you feel
uncomfortable.
Now, on to cutting that beautiful creation.
Most likely your baker will provide tips for
you and your new spouse for cutting. Plan

engraved or decorated. Traditionally, the
bride grasps the knife with her right hand
and the groom covers her hand with his.
Together, the couple glides the knife into
the masterpiece while flashes abound!
To break outside of the traditional cake,
individual cupcakes are fun. Arrange in a
tower that resembles tiered cake or on
