What they offer

• Bespoke wedding cakes
• A collection of flavors and mousses, such as lemon lavender cake with blueberry buttercream filling
• Dessert spreads
• Tastings to fine-tune your design
• Cakes that can incorporate your wedding flowers

How to plan your cake

Book a tasting early. Bring photographs of the look you want, your color palette and your guest count, since that affects the size. Ask whether a dessert table could replace or sit beside a cake, and how much each approach would serve.

Share the details from your florist if you want flowers on the cake, and ask how the baker coordinates with the florist. In Florida heat, ask what the cake is made of and how long it can stand outside. Confirm delivery, setup and collection of any stands.
