A wedding cake tasting is one of the most exciting moments in the planning process—and one of the most important. It’s where design inspiration meets flavor decisions, and where your vision begins to feel real. At Wedding Unicorn, tastings are designed to be relaxed, informative, and enjoyable.
Here’s what to expect—and how to prepare for your wedding cake tasting.
What Happens at a Wedding Cake Tasting?
During your tasting, you’ll sample a selection of cake flavors, fillings, and frostings. This is also the time to discuss your wedding theme, design preferences, and overall vision. The tasting isn’t just about flavor—it’s about ensuring your cake aligns perfectly with your celebration.
Expect guidance, not pressure.
Discussing Design & Inspiration
Your cake tasting often includes a design conversation. Bringing inspiration photos, color palettes, floral ideas, or décor details helps your baker understand your style. Even if you’re unsure, this discussion helps narrow down options and spark ideas.
You don’t need all the answers—just inspiration.
How to Prepare for Your Tasting
To get the most out of your tasting:
-
Eat lightly beforehand so flavors don’t blend together
-
Bring notes or photos of your wedding décor
-
Be open to flavor combinations you may not have considered
-
Consider your guest list and seasonal preferences
Preparation makes the experience smoother and more enjoyable.
Choosing the Right Flavors
Many couples are surprised by how difficult it is to choose just one flavor. That’s why multi-tier cakes with different flavors are so popular. Tastings help you determine which flavors feel balanced, memorable, and fitting for your wedding style.
Trust your palate—but think about your guests, too.
When Should You Schedule Your Tasting?
Most tastings are scheduled after booking your baker, typically a few months before the wedding. This timing ensures availability while allowing flexibility for final details like florals and guest count.
