If you are going to get a cake maker to make your wedding cake then getting a recommendation from family or friends is always best but if you don’t know anybody who knows a cake maker try looking in your local bridal magazine or on the internet.
Once you have decided on a cake maker, you will need to set up an appointment with them as it can take some time to decide on what your tastes and budget are.

Also ask to see a portfolio so you have an idea of what he/she is capable of. Make sure that you have given yourself and the cake maker enough time for “practice runs” or for making alterations long before the actual day.
When deciding on what you want keep in mind that fresh fruit or flowers are cheaper than delicate, handmade sugar-paste flowers and the bigger the cake the bigger the price. Also ask your cake maker the best way to store the remaining portion of your cake.

On the other hand, if you have a friend, family member or even if you are going to make the cake yourself, this is a much cheaper option and you are able to perhaps have more decorations or have an extra tier than you would have possibly been able to afford if you had a cake maker make your cake.
You can hire cake tins, ornaments, pillars and decorating supplies making it a lot more cost effective. Your cake is as important as your dress or your hair and making it yourself – or even if a friend or family member is going to make it – it is a bit risky as you or they may be preoccupied with pre-wedding activities and you don’t want to be left at the very last minute with an unmade cake or a cake that has not turned out just the way you wanted it.
