Your celebration deserves a cake as unique as the occasion itself! Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or milestone event, a custom cake is more than dessert—it’s a centerpiece, a memory-maker, and a reflection of your style. But how do you choose the perfect cake? Here are five simple tips to help you plan the custom cake of your dreams, with my guidance every step of the way.
1. Start Early and Book Ahead
Custom cakes take time and creativity to design and craft, so it’s always a good idea to book as soon as possible. Ideally, aim to secure your spot at least 4–6 weeks in advance for birthdays or milestone events—and even earlier for larger celebrations like weddings. This ensures I can reserve your date and work with you to perfect your design without any last-minute stress.
2. Define Your Theme or Style
Every celebration has its own vibe, and your cake should match it! Think about the theme or mood you want to convey. Are you looking for something whimsical and fun? Elegant and sophisticated? Personal touches, such as favourite colours, hobbies, or meaningful symbols, can make your cake uniquely yours. If you’re unsure, don’t worry—I’ll guide you through the process and suggest ideas to help bring your vision to life.
3. Pick the Perfect Flavours
A stunning cake deserves equally amazing flavours! I offer a range of options to suit every taste—whether you prefer classics like vanilla and chocolate or something with a twist like caramel or lemon. If you’re having a multi-tier cake, we can mix and match flavours so your guests have variety. During our consultation, I’ll help you choose flavours that will be a hit with everyone at your celebration.
4. Get the Size Right
The size of your cake depends on your guest list and how you plan to serve it. Will the cake be the main dessert, or is it a complement to other sweets? Share your guest count with me, and I’ll recommend the best size for your event—whether it’s a single-tier showstopper or a multi-tiered masterpiece that serves everyone with ease.
