Cake is very often, the central piece during occasions. Without cake, you’re having dinner, or lunch…but certainly not a celebration 😀
You could be celebrating a birthday, wedding, graduation, retirement…and yet, each of these occasions would be incomplete without it. And not just any cake, but rather, a beautiful cake, a melt-in-your-mouth kind of cake. How do you choose?
Here are the 3 essential tips you should consider when selecting the ideal cake for your special moment:
- Freshness
This is one of the most under-rated and yet also, most important qualities that determine whether you are going to enjoy cake. When enjoying a fresh cake, you are able to taste and enjoy the different flavours incorporated therein, and it leaves you craving for more… J
- Appearance
The look of a cake is the first thing you notice about it. It is that element that enables us to decide, even sub-consciously, whether or not you are going to enjoy the cake. Two key areas covered in appearance are:
- Colours: In designing your cake, you need to consider both the occasion and the recipient.
– In the case of a wedding cake for instance, the colours of the cake should complement the decor at the venue; either blending in or standing out.
– If you choose not to blend in, the design can be in such a way as to contrast beautifully with the decor.
– Care however needs to be taken in order to keep the contrast beautiful and not cross over into well…ghastly.
- Custom Design: A customized cake is unique and very specific to the occasion, and to the person or people whose special moment is being celebrated. Customizing the cake is one of the best ways that you communicate how important that person is to you; so much so that you considered their preferences and personality when getting them cake.
– The cake that you get to celebrate the birthday of your 5-year-old son for instance, should not be the same as the one you choose to celebrate your sister’s graduation from the University.

Spongebob Squarepants-Design Cake: To celebrate a Child’s Birthday
White Forest Cake: To Celebrate Governor Kidero’s Birthday
- Size
The size of the cake depends on how many guests you are expecting. It would be unfair to bring out a fresh, beautiful and customized cake, only for half of your guests to miss out 
Speak to your cake specialist and let them know how many guests you are expecting. With this information, they will be able to tell you how big a cake you need.
Regardless of the occasion, go the extra mile to ensure that you cater for the trifecta of senses: sight (the appearance of the cake), scent (flavour and freshness), as well as taste (flavour and freshness). Seek help from a cake specialist and they will help to design and bake the ideal cake to create and celebrate your special moment.
