What to Expect at Your Wedding Cake Consultation!
Planning a wedding is a whirlwind, and choosing your cake should be one of the most delicious decisions you make, not a stressful one. At Magnolia Couture Cakery, we know couples are juggling Pinterest boards, guest lists, budgets, and big emotions. That’s exactly why we offer a personalized wedding cake consultation: to take the guesswork out of your dream dessert and help you feel confident (and excited!) about what’s coming.
Here’s what to expect when you sit down with us, whether in person or virtually.
1. We Start With You (Not the Cake)
Every couple we meet is different. Some come with mood boards, colour palettes, and references galore. Others are still figuring things out, and that’s perfectly okay. We’ll discuss your vision, venue, guest count, and anything else that makes your celebration truly personal. No pressure to have all the answers, we’ll help you get there.
💡 Pro tip: If you’ve already chosen your florals or dress style, bring a few photos, those details often spark great cake ideas!
2. Let’s Talk Flavour (And Taste It Too)
This is where things get sweet literally. You’ll get to choose from our curated Cake Sampler Box (available for order right here).
Each box includes our most-loved flavours and seasonal specials, made with the same care we give every wedding cake.
During your consultation, we’ll talk through what flavour combinations you love, what works for your guest list, and how to layer flavours across tiers if you’re having a multi-tiered cake.
3. Design Time: Turning Your Ideas Into Cake Art
This is where Magnolia magic happens. We’ll sketch ideas, pull inspiration, and guide you through design decisions. Everything, from shape and colour to florals and finishing touches like gold leaf, textures, or hand-painted details.
Whether you're leaning towards minimalist, romantic, or full-on showstopper, we’ll work with your theme and budget to create something beautiful, intentional, and uniquely yours.
4. Pricing That’s Clear and Custom
We get it, budget matters. That’s why we’ve created three flexible cake packages to suit different needs and priorities:
Classic, Gold, and Diamond
Each one reflects a different level of design, ingredient choices, and complexity. We’ll walk you through your options clearly, so you can plan confidently and feel great about your investment.
5. After the Consultation
After our chat, you’ll receive a custom quote, design outline, and payment schedule. We also hold your date for a limited time while you decide, with no pressure. Just thoughtful planning.
Once your booking is confirmed, we’re with you all the way through to delivery. You’ll get updates and check-ins, especially as your wedding date approaches.
