Wedding cakes are customary in every wedding ceremony. Tradition won’t do away with the cake-cutting op, so whether you are looking for a picture-perfect cake as a focal point in your reception, or you want to delight your guests with an unforgettable and desirable cake to whet their appetites, you definitely want to consider the various factors!
Factors to consider when deciding on your wedding cake design
Budget
Everything in Singapore is about the price, budget and affordability. Getting married in Singapore is definitely not a cheap affair, therefore it is really important to strike a balance between affordability and breaking the bank!
Wedding bakeries that specialise in customisation of cakes typically provide a bespoke consultation service to understand the concept of your wedding, such as the design of your cake, the number of guests you expecting, and so on.Of course with such detailed levels of customization, pricing varies between bakers and there is no “one fixed price that fits all”.
We don’t have to remind you too, the more crazy ideas you have for your cake, the more the difficulty level rises, so does your budget allowance. If you have a wacky wedding cake design in mind, be flexible with your budget. After all you won’t want your wedding cake to be customised but yet not memorable.
Design & Style
The intricacy and elegance of a cake can only be as good as your baker. Do your due research, be it on social media platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook or baking forums. Every baker will have their specialty or signature style. In order to decide on the right bake to go with, you will need to know their styles and whether it is up to your expectations.
For such an important event like your wedding, it is imperative that your baker understands what you’re hoping to get out of a customised cake. As an example, most people would try to incorporate how they met as a couple, or an important memory, into the design of their cake. This will be a good stage to filter and shortlist bakers that are able to meet your expectations.
Another important factor to consider is Singapore’s humid weather. You can have the best looking cake, but will your baker be able to deliver your cake in one piece? Will it be better for your cake to have fondant, or whipped cream, or buttercream?
Flavours
Request for tasting sessions with various bakers and be adventurous about your flavour requests. Ask for different flavours and have a feeling how different combinations of flavours will taste. Needless to say, the same flavours will taste different, from baker to baker.
This has to be one of the brain-cracking questions, how do you please all of your guests with the right flavour? The truth of the matter is – this is YOUR big day. There is no need to please anyone but yourself! You wouldn’t want to be stressing over every guest’s dietary requirements and paletes would you?
Go ahead and pick a flavour that you love! If you love chocolate, or you’re simply into fruity flavours, or even Matcha, who’s to stop you? You may even set the trend going by being the first person to have a durian wedding cake! Otherwise, speak to your baker, they would know what works best for crowd pleasers.
Servings
The size of the cake and the number of tiers will determine how many guests you can feed. Ask your baker the number of tiers required to accommodate the number of guests you have.
Alternatively, you may wish to plan the size of your cake according to your venue and the theme. Will a bigger cake look more presentable, or will a smaller cake fit your wedding theme better?
Timeline
You definitely do not want to make decisions or changes at the 13th hour for something as highly customisable as a cake. Give your baker a notice period of at least 3-6 months in case you need to make any changes.
Delivery of your cake
Depending on the size and frosting of your cake, you would need to discuss with your baker on how they plan to deliver your cake.
Sometimes if the cake is too big, they may be forced to assemble everything on site just before the event. If your cake requires refrigeration, does your venue provide this service, otherwise how would your potential baker resolve this issue?
Now that you’ve made up your mind, your next question is which baker should I go to? Fret not!

Spotlight on your cake
After spending so much effort and thoughts into customising your cake, you will definitely want to give it all the spotlight it needs before it is being eaten! Ensure that your wedding cake is well-displayed for your guests to awe at. After all, you will want your guests to appreciate the intricate design of your wedding cake before wolfing it down!
Don’t forget to eat your cake!
Trust us on this. The couple is typically extremely busy on the wedding day and you will probably never get to eat during your ceremony. After all, you are the highlight of the day and everybody will be dying to be in a photograph with you, congratulate you or just get a glimpse of how beautiful you look. That being said, your wedding coordinators will make an effort to save your food for the after-ceremony. Be sure to drop a reminder to save some of the cake as well!
Now then, is it really necessary?
So now the question begs – Do you really need a customised wedding cake?
Most people would agree, having a customised cake definitely adds to the flair of any wedding. However, wedding traditions have evolved over the years. Who’s to stop you if you decide to break tradition and walk down the aisle alone, or have your wedding dress in black?
Guests would be equally delighted with pastry booths, candy bars, ice cream trucks! It is also more common nowadays to have cakes just for display, thus couples get more creative with interactive open-concept booths for guests to mingle and savour. Considering the fact that desserts would almost always be served as the last dish of the ceremony, it might be a good idea to play down on the wedding cake and mix it up with creative booths instead.
In this modern era where weddings have become so personalized, it is more important that your wedding ceremony speaks of your love story. This is the only irreplaceable memory that you can leave with your guests, and a story for the grandkids!
