We're so excited to bring you a yummy Chicago baker... stay tuned!
 

Did you know that the first wedding cakes were fruitcakes? Yes, those kind of fruitcakes! It wasn't until Victorian times that the ingredients to create luxurious, fluffy cakes were available. Now, there is little the right baker can't do with a cake. Colors, shapes, embellishments, and your imagination dictate everything. So, as you dream up your perfect cake, here are some points to consider:

How many people will you be serving?

It is very rare for any of your guests to leave before the toasts and cutting of the cake. This means that as many people who have RSVP'd will likely be eating your yummy confection!

What will your cake look like?

Will your cake tower above everything? Will it sit pretty amongst flowers and candles? Will you have multiple tiers and multiple flavors? Will you have a groom's cake?

What type of cake will you serve?

One of the most agreed upon highlights of wedding planning is the cake tasting. That said, it's no easy task to choose between all of the scrumptious little bites you will be served by your baker. Every cake tasting includes an array of flavors and taste combinations but you may want some clarification on different style of cakes before you dive in!Chicago Wedding Cake Bakers

How will you get your cake to your venue?

Does your baker provide the delivery of your cake? Is there an additional fee? Will the cake be made fresh that day? Does your venue have a way to keep it perfect before the reception?

If you are using flowers, be sure that they are pesticide-free! Also, consider what your cake will be presented on. Do you have a lovely pedestal? Many bakers have fantastic pedestals to purchase or rent. You also need something to make that important first slice! Check with your baker to see if they offer beautiful cake knives and servingware.
