Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a wedding cake and a regular cake?
“Wedding cakes are typically larger. They are decorated with plain colors such as white, off-white, champagne colors, or pastels. Their design is typically more conservative as well. This is because wedding cakes are meant to be timeless.
It means to still look beautiful as the years passed, and the couple looks back on their wedding day to reminisce. That’s why they are less likely to be decorated in loud, abrasive colors of passing fads and popular culture (personalization of this sort can still be done – but typically in an understated and subtle touch)”

What size are wedding cakes?
“This highly differs from the size of tiers and how many tiers are there. There are even wedding cakes that are only one tier, or even wedding cupcakes! In our case, the most common ones are three-tiers, which were about 30 cm – 22 cm -16 cm in size for all real cakes”

How do I choose a wedding cake topper?
“A wedding cake topper (if you want one!) can be personalized phrases (‘You are my lobster’, ‘to the moon and back) or your name (initials, Name& Name) or even classic phrases (‘Love’, ‘Always’, etc). It’s a great way to add your own personal touch to the cake without taking away much in regard to the design”
