Choosing the perfect cake
Let’s be honest—cake isn’t just dessert. It’s the star of the show, the centrepiece of any celebration, and the reason people stick around after dinner. But with so many flavours, designs, and sizes to choose from, how do you find the one? Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered!
1. Match the cake to the occasion
Not all cakes are created equal. A towering, gold-dripped masterpiece might be perfect for a wedding but slightly overkill for a casual Tuesday night treat (although, no judgment here!). Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
Weddings & Anniversaries
Elegant designs, classic flavours like vanilla, red velvet, or champagne
Birthdays
Go wild! Funfetti, chocolate overload, or personalised themes
Baby Showers & Gender Reveals
Soft pastel hues, cute designs, and surprise fillings
Corporate Events
Sleek, sophisticated, and on-brand (literally—logo cakes are a thing!)
Just Because
Whatever makes your heart (and taste buds) happy!
2. Size matters
Ordering for a small family gathering? A single-tier cake will do. Expecting an army of cake lovers? Go for multiple tiers, cupcakes or even a Delectable Bakes grazing board for easy serving. Rule of thumb: It’s better to have leftovers than run out mid-party (cue the gasps).
3. Flavour is everything
The right flavour can make or break the moment. Classic vanilla and chocolate are crowd-pleasers, but don’t be afraid to experiment. Ever tried salted caramel, lemon raspberry, or Bisco buttercream? You should. Trust me.
4. Personalisation = Instant wow factor
Want to make a cake truly unforgettable? Add a personal touch! Whether it’s an inside joke, a favourite hobby, or a custom colour palette, a cake should feel as unique as the person (or event) it’s made for.
5. Plan ahead! (Seriously.)
I love a spontaneous cake craving as much as the next person, but don’t wait until the last minute for big events. Custom cakes take time, so book in advance to avoid disappointment (or, you know, sad supermarket cake situations).
