Steps

1. Pick your Icing. The icing is what your cake is covered with. Generally, you can choose between whipped cream or buttercream. Whipped cream is non-dairy and light, while buttercream is more rich and sweet. Keep in mind that buttercream does a better job at holding small decorations like beads.
2. Choose your bread. This is the most important part for the flavor of your cake.
3. Choose your filling. The filling is what goes in between the bread of your cake. Cake with just bread is too boring so you need to choose a filling. Generally, you will choose between a mousse or a cream. Then, decide if you want fruit as well.

4. Choose your decoration. Bringing in a photo of a cake you like is highly recommended. Unless it is a unique shape, decide if the cake is to be round, square, flat, or tiered.
5. Size it up. Below I’ve added a sizing chart for cakes. Square cakes are generally measured in sheets and round cakes, in inches.

Tips

Bringing a picture of the decoration you want helps the decorator give you exactly what you are looking for. We recommend printing it out and writing any edits with pen on paper.
