Place the Order Earlier

Another important thing that you have to consider while choosing a wedding cake is the timing. Always order for the cake soon after you have decided on the wedding attire, venue, and the theme. Never postpone buying a wedding cake to the last minute. You can order the cake six weeks before the date of your wedding.

Choose the Right Size

You should know the number of guests attending the function so that you can decide the number of tiers and the size of the tiers easily. Normally a three-tier cake will be enough for the function if there are about 100 guests. And a five-tier cake is enough for 200 guests.

Choose an Unusual Flavor

Nowadays, you can order a cake in such a way that each tier has a different flavour. This means, if you’re planning to order a 3-tier cake, then there will be 3 flavours. But it’s better if you stick to just two flavours or a maximum of 3. Choose a flavour that you think your guests will like.

Taste the Cake

After deciding the size and flavour, the next step is to taste the cake.

 

Tasting a cake is a must if you want to reconsider your option if the cake is not that good. Never assume that a cake looks good just by looking into its design and colour. Suppose if the cake has various flavours in it, you get an idea of the taste of the cake having different flavours.

 

The bakery where you have ordered your wedding cake will be coordinating with the wedding venue Sydney regarding the delivery. Ask your venue coordinators to set the cake in advance, to avoid last-minute worries. 

 

Nowadays, Indian Wedding Cakes are becoming more and more unique with its theme. Cake cutting ceremony is a sort of celebration by the newlyweds soon after the wedding, and the function becomes more special with fireworks and the entry of the newlyweds.

 

These are some of the popular themes for Indian wedding cakes. But the themes aren’t limited to all these; there are many more themes that you can find, or you can even customise the cake according to your wish. Make sure that you follow some of the tips mentioned above so that you get exactly what you’ve ordered.
