Tip of the Day: A stand is a cost-effective way to add another design element to your cake. "You will want to select a stand that compliments your wedding cake, décor and the overall feel of your wedding. It can even be something unique such as a hanging stand, a floating glass stand, a bird bath, or even displayed from the back of an antique truck. These are some of the most creative options, but even displaying it on a silver platter or crystal platform will make your cake that much more beautiful!" says Carissa Hobbs from Cakes By Carissa.

Tip of the Day: "Don't be afraid to ask a wedding cake designer for an off-the-menu flavor. Nine times out of ten, they'll do it!" says Brandon Baker from Loveletter Cakeshop.

"For example, Italian Rainbow Cookie isn't listed on our traditional menu, but we've been asked to make it before and we'd love to make it again. It's just not popular enough to include on our standard menu, and it's part of our ever-growing 'secret menu!'" he adds.
