The many tiers of a wedding

The vows, the first dance, the speeches—all are integral parts of any wedding ceremony. Yet, it’s the wedding cake that stands on a pedestal. It doesn’t matter if it’s elegantly simple or outrageously fun, the wedding cake should be a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach.

My team and I can take your wedding cake ideas and make it a one-, two- or three-tiered reality. We offer free consultations that include a cake sampler for two people, though we can accommodate extra persons if you wish. In order to fully get the cake you want, we’ll discuss your colours, theme, serving size and budget, plus draw up a rough sketch right there in order to give you an idea of where the design is headed.

At Whisk, we understand that in today’s economy, having a large, grandly decorated cake may not be in the budget. We offer suggestions within your price range, such as having a small, decorated cake for the cutting and photos, plus a dessert table where guests can choose from a variety of treats such as mini-cupcake, macarons and squares. We also have “dessert shots” in assorted flavours, such as salted caramel mousse with a chocolate-hazelnut cream and panna cotta, all served in elegant plastic shot glasses.

But what we really love to do and are renowned for are the unique cakes that speak to the personality of the couple. Take our “Half and Half” cakes. One side is the elegant design and the other side is the whimsical flair; an example of this would be cascading flowers on one side and Marvel comic characters on the other. One of my favourite cakes is when we combined Harry Potter and the Walking Dead; the bride topper was holding a wand, the groom topper was holding a gun, and Harry, Ron and Hermione were zombies crawling up the side. People are still talking about that cake, and the wedding was a few years ago. Taking both of your interests and incorporating them into the design of the cake is a great way to make a personal statement.

You don’t need to see us the moment you get engaged, either. Since it’s common for wedding dates, venues, guest numbers and themes to change, we recommend that you visit us six to eight months prior to the wedding for a consultation where we can sit and talk about your ideas over delicious cake.

Things to Consider

Some venues charge for “cutting and plating” your cake(s), so consider a dessert table with individual desserts, or have
someone else cut and plate.

Be aware of where the cake will sit. Is it a “Half and Half” cake sitting snuggly in a corner? Is it by an exit sign that might
be seen in photographs? Is it a small cake on a large table?
