How
to pick your Wedding Cake Maker in UK?
Along with choosing the ideal dress & romantic honeymoon
location, the marriage cake is one of the most important elements to think
about when planning a wedding. So how do you know who to trust to make your
dream cake?
How do you go about selecting someone, usually an ideal stranger,
to be given the responsibility of playing such an integral part to your Wedding
Day? How do you know that they can realise your dreams & generate a cake
that looks & tastes good to be served at your wedding whilst remaining
within budget & being delivered on time?
No one is going to answer these questions by recommending a
specific Cake Maker, you should be thinking about when choosing your Wedding
Cake Maker UK.
Location - Ideally
you would need your Cake Baker to either be based local to yourself (in order
to make attending consultations simpler) or else close to the reception venue
(meaning that your cake will have less distance to travel on the day & less
chance of being damaged or delayed, it will also cut down on any delivery
charges).
Familiarity - Are you
the kind of that would prefer to get to know your cake maker before you entrust
them the responsibility of making your cake? If so then you have options:
1. Get a mate or relative to make your cake - This has the added
benefits of potentially cutting costs, however if the person you are asking has
seldom completed it before you may be putting under pressure & stress on
them. Logistics can also become an issue, in the event you have also invited
them to attend the marriage. Another consideration is that unless the person is
experienced or skilful you may be limited in the style of cake that they can
generate (keep in mind that trends have changed a lot over the years - so what
was seen as fashionable in your parents or grandparents day is often not seen
as being stylish today. However in the event you are a relaxed bride that
doesn't worry much about the specifics & budget is a more significant issue
then this is definitely an option to be thought about.
2. The choice is to try
& get to know your Cake Maker in advance. Initiate a rapport with them
& in the event that they have a weblog or participate in social networking
or writing articles (such as this) then read what they are writing & get to
know what drives them & whether their goals & personalities align with
yours. You need to feel that they take pride in their work & that they will
treat your cake with the importance & attention that it deserves & that
they need to make your dreams a reality & not treat it as another cake that
they need to make in order to pay their bills.
Recommendation - Other
people's weddings are a great opportunity to see examples of a Cake Makers work
in Surrey, so ask yourself have you been to any weddings recently at which you
truly loved the look & taste of the cake? In case you did then your search
might be over in case you can get the bakers name. Otherwise do you know of any
friends or relatives members whose judgement you would trust to give you a
recommendation of a cake that they may have tasted or seen?
Reliability - An
indication as to how reliable your Cake Maker is going to be can be gleaned
from their reputation or testimonials & reviews that may be posted on Web
forums & review sites. However take any testimonials that a Cake Maker may
offer you or display on their own website with a pinch of salt. Normally
professionalism & reliability go hand-in-hand so try & assess how
professional your cake maker is. Some Wedding
Cake Makers in Surrey take on many of bookings that a delay to cake or an
unexpected disease could jeopardise the delivery of your cake, however other
cake makers deliberately take on fewer bookings in order to give themselves
some flexibility.
Competence - Is your
Wedding Cake Maker skilful to make the cake that you need & with the
professional finish that you dream of? The simplest way to select this is to
take a glance at examples of their work, nowadays most Cake Makers have sites
which are a great way of reviewing a potential bakers work & you can often
receive a sense of how experienced & professional they are from how they
present themselves.
Delivery - Most Cake
Makers will offer a local delivery & setup service, but it is worth
checking how local & whether they charge. Alternatively if your budget is
tight then ask whether they let you arrange for a mate to collect the cake.
Tastings - The look
of the cake is only half of the story the other half is the way it tastes.
Along with how beautiful a bride's dress looked of the other things most
recalled or commented on by wedding guests is how the cake tasted. So it is
important that you are confident that the Cake Maker can deliver on taste as
well as looks. One way of doing this is to ask for a taste testing (which is
often combined with a Consultation) - be aware that some Cake Makers may make a
tiny charge for such tastings.
Flavours - An
important consideration in the general taste of a cake is its flavour. Some Wedding Cake Makers in UK offer a wide choice of flavours,
however even if not explicitly offered, specific flavours can normally be
requested.
Availability - Be aware
that god Cake Makers can get booked up early, for busy times of the year (such
as weekends, the summer and weekends in the summertime). So avoid
disappointment and reserve your cake maker as soon as feasible.
