Your wedding cake or dessert table isn’t just dessert—it’s a centrepiece, a reflection of your style, and a delicious part of your big day. But to make sure it fits seamlessly into your wedding aesthetic, your cake artist needs to work closely with all your other suppliers. From florists to photographers, venue coordinators to caterers, every detail matters in creating a beautifully cohesive look (and a stress-free experience for you!). And it’s not just about the cake—your dessert table and edible wedding favours should also blend beautifully with the overall theme.
1. Working with Your Wedding Planner or Venue Coordinator
Your cake artist will liaise with your wedding planner or venue coordinator to ensure your cake and dessert table have the perfect spot. The cake and dessert display need to be positioned where they look stunning in photos, stay safe from accidental knocks, away from radiators and direct sunlight and aren’t sitting under lighting that changes their colours entirely. Once set up, cakes and delicate treats shouldn’t be moved—so planning the perfect placement from the start is key. No one wants a wobbly cake disaster or toppled dessert stands minutes before the reception!
2. Collaborating with Your Florist
Flowers on cakes and dessert tables are gorgeous—but only if they match the ones in your bouquet and décor. Your cake artist will coordinate with your florist to source the right blooms, ensuring they align with the wedding’s overall colour palette and style. They’ll also make sure only food-safe flowers are used because, believe it or not, some of those stunning blooms are actually toxic. If your edible wedding favours feature floral elements, like crystallised flowers or floral-infused treats, your cake artist can ensure they align beautifully with your arrangements.
3. Ensuring Cohesion with Your Wedding Aesthetic
Your cake, dessert table, and edible favours should look like they belong at your wedding, not like they showed up from a different event. Whether your theme is classic elegance, rustic charm, or modern minimalism, your cake artist will take inspiration from your décor, table settings, and overall wedding aesthetic to ensure all sweet elements complement everything perfectly.
4. Matching the Cake, Dessert Table & Favours to Your Stationery
Your invitations and signage set the tone for your big day, so why not let your cake and treats tie into those elements? Whether it’s incorporating delicate floral designs, metallic accents, or a unique monogram, your cake artist can bring in details from your wedding stationery to create a seamless look across all aspects of the day—including personalised favours like iced biscuits or chocolates featuring your wedding motif.
5. Coordinating with the Lighting Team
Lighting can dramatically change the way your cake, dessert table, and favours look in person and in photos. Your cake artist will ensure that the dessert display is placed in a well-lit, flattering spot, avoiding awkward shadows or harsh coloured lights that make white icing look orange. If your wedding has dramatic mood lighting, this will be taken into account when designing the colours and decorations of all edible elements.
6. Perfecting the Cake & Dessert Table Setup
Your cake and dessert table deserve a beautiful stage! Your cake artist will work with your planner or venue to ensure the table is styled to match your theme—think elegant linens, candles, flowers, or even a beautiful cake stand that elevates the entire display. Edible wedding favours can also be presented in a way that makes them part of the aesthetic, whether displayed elegantly on the dessert table or packaged beautifully for guests to take home.
7. Collaborating with the Caterer
How and when your cake and desserts are served is just as important as how they look. Your cake artist will discuss with your caterer whether the cake will be the main dessert, part of a dessert table, or served alongside other sweets. They’ll also ensure that the caterers know how to cut and serve the cake properly—because hacking into a delicate, tiered cake the wrong way is a tragedy no one wants to witness. If edible favours are part of the meal experience (like petit fours or boxed truffles), the caterer and cake artist will coordinate how and when they’re distributed.
8. Working with the Photographer
Your cake, dessert table, and edible favours are works of art, and they deserve to be captured beautifully before anyone gets a chance to dig in. Your photographer should ensure the cake-cutting moment is picture-perfect and that detail shots of all sweet elements are taken while they’re still pristine.
9. Bringing It All Together
Your cake artist isn’t just making a cake—they’re helping create an experience. By working closely with every key supplier, they ensure your cake, dessert table, and edible wedding favours aren’t just another detail, but a showstopping part of your wedding that ties everything together effortlessly.
Final Thoughts
When your cake artist collaborates with your other wedding suppliers, everything flows seamlessly. From making sure the cake, dessert table, and edible favours match your décor to guaranteeing they’re positioned perfectly and served at the right time, this coordination makes all the difference. And in the end, you get wedding treats that are as stunning as they are delicious—without the stress.
Because while your guests will remember how good everything tasted, they’ll also remember how breath-taking it looked. And isn’t that the sweet spot we’re all aiming for?
