Plan Your At-Home Wedding Cake Tasting

Social distancing guidelines may have put a damper on some of the in-person aspects of wedding planning, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on one of the most fun parts of being engaged. For many couples, cake tasting is one of the highlights of wedding planning - and why wouldn’t it be? Spending an afternoon sampling sweet treats with your future spouse is both pleasing to the palate and an enjoyable way to bond with your partner. If you haven’t selected your cake type yet, learn how to plan an at-home wedding cake tasting that will make social isolation a bit sweeter.

Ask Your Bakery About a Takeout Tasting Option

Many bakeries are still operating with takeout and delivery options available. If your team at Wedgewood Weddings has already recommended an excellent cake maker, give them a call and see if they can prepare a cake tasting assortment that you can enjoy from the comfort and safety of your own home. Before inquiring about a to-go tasting option, consider your cake flavor shortlist - do love chocolate, but your fiancé loves carrot cake? Have a few options pre-selected and ask your bakery to provide recommendations that will complement some of your favorite combinations.

At Wedgewood Weddings, we source the best regional bakeries for our venues to provide delicious cake creations as a part of our all-inclusive wedding packages. Your dedicated wedding coordination team can assist you with requesting a to-go cake tasting package to enjoy at home. Once you’ve brought home the sweets, you can put on your stretchiest pair of pants and kick off your own in-home tasting.

Pro Tip: Have some fun with your in-home wedding cake tasting! Throw a blanket on the floor, create a playlist on Spotify, and turn your tasting into a living room picnic.
