35 BEST local Cake Shops in St Ives Chase NSW | Yellow Pages®

Tips for choosing your dream wedding or special occasion cake

Is there a big celebration coming up and time is of the essence? At Yellow, we are here to help. That’s why we’ve baked this guide on how to get going with finding the perfect cupcake, muffin or cake.

1. Star early - the season and venue of the wedding or celebration will determine the conditions such as temperature and humidity. For example, a delicate buttercream won’t last at an outdoor summer wedding.
2. Search our directory for “Wedding cake shops” or “custom cake shops” near you to see the many local businesses that are listed.
3. Considering the ratings and reviews others have left, as well as the websites of the bakeries themselves -  make a shortlist of the best bakers and cake shops.
4. Get in touch with them and have a private consultation where you can both talk about what you want, as well as what is reasonable to expect within your budget and timeline.
5. Be sure to know your parameters – what is the estimated head count, and where does the cake rank in the priority list (to determine how much money to allocate).
6. Compile mood boards - whether they are paper based or online to manifest a sense of the colour palette, flavour, decorations and flowers etc.
7. Have fun – this is a chance to be fun and playful. Experiment with all the potential flavour options and remember this is your cake – go with the flavour and appearance you like the most.

Charged with this recipe, we hope you will feel confident in your search of custom and wedding cake shops near you. Enjoy the sample tasting and the entire process – after all everything about cakes and pastries celebrates deliciousness.
