Mistakes to avoid
The biggest mistake is leaving the cake designing and ordering to the very last minute. Bakeries usually have the calendars for custom cakes that are pretty busy. If you decided to go for the original cake, then it will definitely take time for ingredients and decorations to be ordered.

Another mistake is asking for the opinion of a big number of people. Sometimes brides tend to involve too many people in the cake selecting process, what makes it not only complicated but also slows it down. Try to keep the amount of advisers to minimum like 2 people. Remember, it is your day, so try to surround yourself with items chosen based on your taste and preferences.
