Description of service

I recently purchased a wedding cake for my reception. Two months in advance, I spoke to the cake shop and the particular cake decorator about what I was looking for. I wanted a six tier cake that would serve approximately one hundred and fifty guests. In addition to being beautiful, I wanted the cake to taste good as well. I chose a chocolate hazelnut cake with white chocolate frosting. The total price of the cake was 2500 dollars.


Review of Service

I was very pleased with the cake. To begin with, the cake was picture perfect. I had given the cake decorator a few pictures of cakes I liked and we had spent some time going over ideas. What she came up with met all my expectations and more. I received many compliments on the cake. In addition to being pretty, the cake also tasted delicious.


Tips

Before choosing someone to make your wedding cake, I would spend a great deal of time looking at examples of the cakes they have decorated to see if you think you have the same style. I would also spend some time cake tasting as your guests will be eating this cake so it should look as good as it tastes. Also, give your self ample time to make the decision and also give the cake decorator ample time to design your cake.
