A few pointers from our event planner Dubai experts will help you choose the right one so the next time there’s a birthday party, you’ll be the first one people will turn to for tips.
Budget
Setting a budget will help you manage the entire event properly. Cakes can be a bit pricey, plan in advance to avoid last-minute shopping or you will end up overspending. Keep your menu simple but tasty. If you’re on a tight budget, you can send electronic invites. Several websites offer colorful e-cards for free.
Bakery
To make your event worth remembering, choose your bakery well. Do not take chances on ordering a cake from a place you’re not familiar with. Look for suggestions and do not settle for one unless you’ve tasted the cake sample of your choice.
Size Is Important
Make a list of your guests and have an exact number of members invited. Selecting the size of the cake is your stepping-off point. Surely, you don’t want to hand out those empty plates because that would be just embarrassing.
Flavor
You would definitely want to choose a flavor that is popular among the most party goer but also your birthday girl or boy would enjoy the most. You could choose universal flavors like chocolate or vanilla or you could opt for an ice cream birthday cake. Kids love ice cream so choosing an ice cream cake can turn your party into a most memorable one. This may also save you money from getting ice cream for dessert.
Party Theme
If you are having a theme-based birthday party, you can always select a cake that reflects your favorite theme or find decorations for the cake that suit your theme such as you can have lights for candles or mini bots on your cake if you’re having a star wars theme party.
