Before You Choose Your Baker Part I

Birdie

Get excited because this is a two part-er!

We have showcased hundreds of gorgeous wedding cakes on here.  The supply of amazing and gorgeous photos of cakes is limitless…but we all know those cakes didn’t just appear out of thin air.  They came from somewhere.  They were made by someone who was inspired by an idea.

It’s almost as exciting as the story about where babies come from.  Almost.

If you truly think about it this is your one opportunity as a bride to truly create something that symbolizes your wedding.  You wedding venue has done thousands of weddings before.  Your dress? There are probably at least a hundred other girls wearing it on your wedding day. Well, unless you are The Duchess of Cambridge of course.  Even though your baker has baked thousands of wedding cakes before.  Each every one is unique and special in their own way.  To me that makes them the most important part of your reception.

However, before you run into your baker for that wonderful tasting there are a few things you should do before choosing your baker.  This post will be in the form of a list.  Why?  Because I love lists.

Everything is Pink and Pretty

Pink topsy turvy

Just when I thought my cake resources where running a bit dry this beauty pops up!

First and foremost…is this not a beautiful picture?

Anyway, on with the cake!  I adore pink.  It’s my absolute favorite color on the planet.  However, I personally think that pink wedding cakes can be…well…let’s be honest…tacky.  I don’t know why, but baby pink on a cake just doesn’t do it for me.  This cake strikes my fancy though.  The first tier has a sophisticated pink and cream diamond pattern.  The second has pink fondant stripes.  But what really sets it apart are the adorable tiny dark pink fondant flowers that are scattered across the cake.  To. Die. For.  Instead of a cake topper, this couple decided to play with the dark pink color and add some dark pink gerbera daises.
