What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
My No.1 wedding planning tip for couples is to prioritise open and clear communication throughout the entire planning process. Weddings involve numerous decisions, details, and moving parts, and ensuring that both partners are on the same page can help reduce stress and create a more enjoyable planning experience.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
One of the most touching personal touches I've come across at a wedding was a "Memory Lane" photo display. The couple had set up a beautiful corner at their reception venue, adorned with vintage frames and fairy lights. Within the frames were a collection of photographs depicting significant moments from their individual lives and their journey as a couple.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Initial Consultation: The journey begins with an initial consultation where the couple and I discuss their vision, style, and preferences. We talk about the theme, colours, and any specific design elements they have in mind. This is also a chance for me to understand their personalities and story, as these can be woven into the cake's design.
Tasting Session: I offer the couple a tasting session where they can sample various cake flavours, fillings, and frostings. This helps them decide on the flavour profile that resonates with their taste. We discuss how different flavours could complement their wedding theme or menu.
Design Concept: After the tasting, I work on creating a design concept that combines their preferences, theme, and personal touches. This might include sketching or creating a digital mockup of the cake design. We go back and forth, refining the design until it perfectly matches their vision.
Quotation and Agreement: Once the design is finalised, I provide the couple with a detailed quotation that includes the design, flavours, size, and other details. If they're happy with the proposal, we move on to signing a contract and securing their wedding date on my calendar.
Progress Updates: As I work on their cake, I keep the couple updated on the progress. This might involve sharing photos of sugar flowers being crafted, fondant being rolled out, or any intricate decorations being prepared.
Finalisation and Delivery: Closer to the wedding date, we finalise the details such as delivery time, cake setup, and any last-minute changes. On the big day, I ensure that the cake is delivered and set up flawlessly at the venue, following any specific instructions provided.
Describe how you got into making wedding cakes.
I started by making cakes for friends and family, gaining experience and refining my skills along the way. The more I delved into the world of wedding cakes, the more I recognised the immense joy and privilege it brought me. Each cake became a canvas to tell a couple's love story, reflecting their personalities and the essence of their celebration.
