Cutting the first piece of cake together represents your commitment to share whatever path life takes.
Feeding each other that piece of cake is a symbol of love, honor and respect.
A personal consultation is the first step in designing the wedding cake as well as determining the price
of the cake. The perfect wedding cake should not only match your flowers, setting and color schemes,
but should also reflect your style and personality.
Initial consultations are free and will be held at April's cake studio. Please contact aprilcakes@shaw.ca to arrange an appointment.
Please bring the following items to our meeting:
Color swatches
Embroidery or lace designs
Florist contact number
Reception location and contact number
Pictures of cakes you like
FOOD FOR THOUGHT...
“A dessert bar is unnecessary if you have a great wedding cake.”
Ask the caterers to provide fresh fruit instead and serve wedding cake as your dessert.
“If you must have a wedding cake you may as well serve it.”
Choose from a White Chocolate Grand Marnier Cake or the popular but unexpected
Chocolate Fudge Cake with Mocha Buttercream and indulge your guests with a
fabulous piece of cake that will leave a lasting impression.
“My guests were too full to eat my wedding cake!”
Share leftover cake at the gift opening, freeze the top tier for your
first anniversary, or keep as a late night snack!
"Do couples still save the top tier of their wedding cake and freeze it until the first anniversary?! How will it taste after one year??"
I tell all my clients to save at least a piece of the wedding cake to take home b/c it is an ACTUAL piece of your special day that will serve as a reminder of everything that happened but without all the whirlwind of events and people around you. Whether your eat your leftover wedding cake the next day, when you return from your honeymoon, or on your first anniversary, you will be able to share the fond memories of your wedding day.
After one year in your freezer, your wedding cake will still taste really yummy, especially if you ordered a chocolate cake. The outer layer of fondant, which you don't have to eat, will protect the cake. One of my clients can testify that part of their wedding cake was saved until the christening of their firstborn child, which happened TWO years after the wedding. The same chocolate cake was served to 30 guests and they still raved about how good it was!
"How do I package my wedding cake before freezing it?"
The best way to preserve the cake is to wrap it tightly with several layers of plastic wrap followed by a couple layers of foil and finally, seal it in a freezer bag. As your first anniversary approaches, let the cake thaw in the refridgerator overnight and then serve it at room temperature.
