Cake tasting is one of the things couples always look forward to when it comes to wedding planning. Why wouldn’t they? Spending an hour or two eating and combining cake and frosting flavors to create a perfect bite, then spending another hour making plans of eating yet more cake? Even the thought alone is enticing!

Congratulations on making it to the best part of the wedding planning. Tasting the cake helps reduce the stress and pressure that comes with wedding planning. But like all other aspects of wedding planning, it can also be overwhelming. Do not worry though, we are here to help you enjoy it. Here are a few tips to make it productive and even more enjoyable.

●      Budget

Do not get so excited about the whole idea of cake tasting that you even forget one of the most important things in wedding planning: the budget. The type of cake you want should be based on your budget.

So, be upfront with your caterer on how much you want to spend to get the best possible cake within your price range.

●      Make It A Two-day Event

One mistake many couples make is scheduling the whole activity in one day. Most cake vendors and bakeries offer 4-5 cakes and 4-5 frosting and fillings per tasting.

No matter how much you love sweets, you’ll consume a lot of sugar on your second tasting and by the time you get to the third, you’ll be tired of even seeing the cake.

●      Flavor and Style

Let your baker or caterer know about your favorite flavors and sample them before your wedding cake tasting. Also, be sure to have ideas on how the cake should look.
