Enjoying the wedding cake tasting is one of the best parts of planning your wedding. Coming prepared with an idea of what you want will help you make the final decision for your cake. To create the perfect wedding cake, here is a list of tips for a successful cake tasting. 

4 Essential Tips for Cake Tasting

1. Go in With a Budget

With an estimate of how much you're willing to spend on a wedding cake, you'll have a clearly defined set of options. The more elaborate your desired cake decor is, the more you can expect to pay. Research different cake designs to show to the bakery to gauge what will fall within your budget.

2. Don't Go in Hungry

While it's a fun thought to only have cake for dinner, it could give you a stomach ache. Large amounts of sugar intake on an empty stomach could make you feel nauseated. Opt for a small meal beforehand with plenty of protein to carry you through the tasting.

3. Drink Plenty of Water

Staying hydrated during the tasting will level out your sugar levels and allow you to enjoy every bite of cake. When you're tasting for your future wedding cake, eat each part of the cake separately. Try the frosting, drink a little water, and then try the sponge. Drinking water also cleanses your palate so you can judge the cake thoroughly.

4. Don't Worry About What Everyone Else Wants

The flavor of the wedding cake is the sole choice of the bride and groom. Trying to select flavors based off what other family members or guests won’t guarantee a cake that you enjoy it, too. Some couples choose to incorporate cupcakes with alternative flavor combinations in addition to their wedding cake. It’s your wedding, and nobody has a bigger say than you!
