• What do you love most about your work?

People remember weddings for some interesting aspect

Wedding invariably is one of the most important and memorable day of someone’s life. A global survey on what ‘people remember from wedding’; pegs wedding cake as number one, followed by bridal outfit and then the décor theme. That’s what I love most about my work. Being etched, in someone’s memory, for life!

My cakes are joy bringers and the fact that I am able to create a piece of art that is not just appreciated for its looks, but also relished for its taste, makes me proud of my work.

• Where do you get your inspiration from for your designs and is there a current trend with wedding cakes?   

Our inspiration comes from everywhere: art, fashion, music, and characters but most of all, our inspiration comes from “YOU”. Every cake we create is custom made from concept to consumption and is a completely original piece of edible art. We make idea’s/ themes come to life in the form of cakes to make each occasion a memorable one.

Three big trends in the world of wedding cakes are

a)      One of the biggest trends that we are seeing in ME is that cakes are now a part of every wedding, irrespective of religion.

b)      Most wedding couple are opting for cakes which are simple, classic and yet showcasing an aspect of their individuality.

c)       Wedding Cakes are not just a custom, but a competition. It has become a matter of pride. Every couple wants a cake that is unique and hence appreciated by guests and anything run-of-the-mill is a complete no-no in this business.

• Do you have any exciting projects, events; weddings coming up that you are providing cakes for?

We are very sincere with our patrons and hence cannot divulge details of the forthcoming projects. A lot of effort, creatively, hours and dedication is going behind creating the special cake customized for the couple, so can’t let the cat out on that!

However, one of the recently done exciting wedding cake was a four tier cake Falling Roses cake for the founder of BridesClubME Rio and Adam and a 5 tier cake each with different flavor for the bridal couple Natalie and Sherif.

• What makes your business different from other cake designers and bakeries in the region?

• If you could give one piece of wedding planning advice to our readers, what would it be?

Wedding date is the most important date of your life. So plan well in advance.

Involve your suppliers early in the wedding planning stage. Get the suppliers to share details of their work aspect with each other, so that there is seamless execution. Cake is the centerpiece of your wedding. So ensure that you invest time to get it right. Something’s are best not left to the men. Surely cake is one such.

• Lastly, why did you choose to list with www.brideclubme.com?
