getting creative with your cake design
Here’s the thing about cake design: it’s subjective, which can make choosing a final design tricky.
Cake makers desperately want you to know that we’re all relatively different. After all we make art and art is subjective. This makes it that much more important to do your research.

I believe that most of us would agree that us cake decorators fall in one of two categories:
those of us that specialize in our own specific artful esthetic, where our specialized designs are the only ones we prefer to do.
those of us that consider ourselves fully custom, meaning we’re more than happy to do anything, while still having the freedom to use our own creative touch.
I believe that everyone should get what they want for their wedding day. I tend to fall in the second category. Since we all have different needs/wants I’ve honed my craft to be able to work with most mediums. I like to encourage couples to choose a design that makes sense with the rest of their overall vibe of the event. Please know that as artists we have many ideas/tips/tricks to make something that represents you. Just ask!
That’s not to say cake makers that fall in the first category can’t make designs that suit your wedding vibe, quite the opposite actually. Cake makers that specialize in their own esthetic, can usually match any vibe, as they are the true masters of their craft. Just ask them how!

Here’s a list of some things to show your baker for creative inspo:
wedding dress/pattern on dress
color palette
pinterest boards with 3-4 designs, specify what about those designs you like
invites/save the dates
the final design you’re using for your table numbers
florals!!! (we love to collab with your florist)
rentals (i know this seems weird, but some linens/furniture pieces/plates have great textures)
seriously though, share anything you’re going to have a your event, an artist will be able to draw inspo from some of the most interesting concepts
or simply get what you like or whatever is trending! do your research, find the baker that can execute your design choice. if you’re unsure have a conversation with them. take it from me, I had ice cream cake for my wedding and i knew dairy queen could execute it!
