Your wedding day, a tapestry of firsts—first kiss, first dance, and that inaugural cut into the wedding cake. The wedding cake, a focal point in this tradition, deserves perfection like every other detail. Here, we explore 9 pitfalls to sidestep, ensuring your wedding cake shines without a hitch!

9 Mistakes to Avoid on Your Big Day

1) Mismatched Theme

Modern weddings embrace diverse themes, from festival bohemia to dark drama. Don't spoil your theme with a mismatched cake. Explore our Rustic-Chic Macarons and Roses Vintage Wedding Cake or Sushi Wedding Cake for the perfect match.

2) Unrepresentative Toppers

Avoid awkwardness with toppers that don't mirror you. Opt for our Birdcage Buttercream Wedding Cake with hand-modelled love birds, a charming alternative to traditional toppers.

3) Cake Mishandling

Large wedding cakes can be heavy. Plan with a tray on wheels for a smooth entry without risking wobbles and potential splatters.

4) Kids' First Dibs

Keep curious little hands away from your cake. Store it out of their reach to preserve its pristine appearance.

5) Displeasing Colours

Consider your partner's preferences when choosing colours. Avoid unintentional reminders of sports teams or high school rivals in your wedding cake.

6) Incorrect Names

Personalize your cake but avoid misspellings. Double-check with your decorator, ensuring names are spelled correctly on the order form.

7) Structural Collapse

Secure your cake's foundation. Choose experienced bakers for a structurally sound tower.

8) Unappealing Flavour

Celebrate with flavours you love. Don't succumb to pressure; choose from options like our Vegan Fat Unicorn Wedding Cake or Ghetto-Riche Salted Caramel Wedding Cake.

9) Missing Knife

Prepare for the cake-cutting moment with a large knife on standby. Avoid last-minute awkwardness and make it memorable!

These are the 9 key mistakes to avoid, ensuring your wedding cake is a flawless centrepiece. While we hope your big day goes smoothly, remember, the most important thing is celebrating the love you and your partner share!
