GUIDE TO BUYING CAKES
1st rule : You always get what you pay for in the wedding business.
There are many other decoraters doing cakes for much less than us but
the ingredients, dedication and attention to detail all suffer. Many
bakeries use box mixes and frostings out of a bucket. These all contain
shortenings and ingredients you have never heard of. Our buttercream
only has four ingredients: sugar, egg whites, unsalted butter and
vanilla extract, and our cake batters are all made from scratch.
2nd rule : Always taste before buying.
Never take someones word as to
the taste of a cake. This is your wedding cake and should meet your
standards. On our first meeting you have the chance to taste cake! We
can make subtle changes or come up with new flavors on the spot. We let
the taste of the cakes speak for themselves, even though there are
usually only moans of enjoyment heard and not many words spoken during
the tasting portion of the Wedding Cake Experience.
3rd rule : Bring your own pictures.
Do research before picking your baker. Find pictures on-line and bridal
magazines and show them to bakers. You will either hear "Oh No!" and
they look like a deer in the headlights of a car or you hear "That looks
like fun!" and the look of excitment over the prospect of something new.
Many bakers stay with the style they are comfortable with and don't
venture out on a limb to try something new. We love tring new designs
to add to our picture book and web page to attract as many diverse
styles as possible. Pictures also help us determine what style and
direction you want to go.
Last rule : Be comfortable with your baker.
We pride ourselves with helping you get the most for your money and
efforts. The whole wedding planning experience is a roller coaster fo
highs and lows. We like to take a potential low and make it one of the
easiest and most pleasurable items you get to check off your list of
things to do for the big day. After most consulations we hear "that was
easy", and we know the bride and groom are happy with their decision.
