Massachusetts wedding cakes, BellaCakes shares some great tips and trends that are helpful to know when choosing a cake vendor and when couples are going through the process of creating their wedding cake.  Check out BellaCakes and the tips and trends they have to share about the cake industry.

What is some advice you can give couples when choosing a cake vendor, i.e. how to work together to achieve the desired look and taste.

1. Try to anticipate any food allergies that your guests might have.

2. Don’t be afraid to try seasonal flavors and something a little out of the ordinary. You don’t always have to have white cake with white buttercream.

3. Consider your budget and work with a vendor that is used to working within that price range.

4. Consider personalities when choosing your vendor. You will have a much more pleasant experience if you are able to relate and express ideas easily.

5. Taste the fondant! So many people offer what I call, “icky fondant”. Yes, it may have the look that you want but don’t settle for something that doesn’t taste good too.

What are some current trends you are seeing in the wedding cake world, whether it’s particular designs, colors, flavors, ingredients, displays, etc.?

Cupcakes are very popular right now. I do many cupcake towers. In this economy, brides are shifting away from the more elaborate cakes and trying to minimize costs. Cupcakes offer a more economical approach, with no cake cutting fees and they are just plain fun. Cupcakes always bring a smile to your face!
