Which one would you pick for your big day? how it tastes? or how it looks? which one matters to you more or both?

Would you monogram Initials on it? birde’s only or both bride and the groom?

Would you go for a cake tasting before ordering? or just go by the bakery’s reputation?

What flavours/fillings would you go for?

1. I know as a guest, if I go to a wedding where the food/dessert did not taste good…or where the DJ was terrible…I will remember that more than the decor, bride’s outfit etc. I’ve been to several wedding where the people spent a lot of $$$ on everything. Yet I don’t remember any details about the bridal look, decor etc. I just remember the food and/or dessert sucked. My hubby feels the same way. So during our wedding, with food/dessert, our #1 priority was taste. This was the only reason we stayed away from fondant.

2. We were not willing to hire a baker without doing a taste test. We chose a gora lady that does this out of her house (she has been working for a well-know local bakery for over 20 years). She brought 8 different flavors for us (flavors we requested). We ended up choosing 2: Red Velvet and white almond. I went through several bakery sites to look at designs. Hubby and I both fell in love with 1. So we had our cake lady copy it. :halo:
