Keep Calm and...eat Cake!

Now this has to be one of the hardest things for a bride to decide on for a number of reasons.

1. Your favourite cake flavour may not work for your guests (imagine you love hazelnut and some of your guests have nut allergies...mmmyeahhh)
2. If you're not familiar with the baker and you're judging their work by their portfolio, all you're seeing is the icing, there's no guarantee of the flavour.
3. That portfolio may be filled with work that's not theirs (gasp!)
4. Even if you're familiar with the baker, they may be a one trick pony, i.e. you may love their vanilla swirl, but their chocolate cake may suck!
5. You may have champagne tastes and mauby pockets, a Bajan (people from Barbados) saying which means what you want you can't afford.

Now, while you may not be able to get a personal reference to help you make your wedding cake decision, luckily sites like Facebook now have widgets that allow people to rate the product and leave comments - this is your lifeline, especially if you're a destination bride. I've had some beautiful cakes taste no better than sawdust, at least some reviews from a few customers can give you an idea of the calibre of company you're dealing with, even if you can't taste the real thing. However, whenever possible, ask to have a cake tasting so you can be assured that the cake tastes like what you imagine it would.

Now, to the fun part:
