cakes & desserts
Q & A with Jennifer Luxmoore, owner of Sin
When to book: Usually about four to six months in advance. Bakers can normally do more than
one event per day, so we’re a bit lower on the list than say a photographer or venue. You can
usually book a cake towards the end of your planning.
What types of questions should couples ask their baker before they book them? 'How
long have they been in business' is a good one because you want someone who’s had experience
with solving problems, with the venues, with multiple cake styles, with delivery, etc. You’ll also want to
ask: “What is your policy if there’s a problem with the cake?” and “What is your policy for toppers or
flowers that are added to the cake at the site?”
Is it better if a couple has looked at Pinterest for ideas before they come to meet with
you? Yes! They don’t have to have a picture of the exact cake, but some photos of styles that they like
or the feeling they’re going for is very helpful. We can take a variety of different cakes and use them
as inspiration to create a cake that’s uniquely theirs.
Have you noticed any new wedding cake trends? There have been so many “rustic” cakes...
think rough-frosted and/or naked. I think everyone is getting married in a garden these days!
What’s the “craziest” wedding cake you’ve ever made? Either a Godzilla/Mothra cake, a
Halloween cauldron cake or a zombie apocalypse cake.
What other goodies have you made for weddings? Dessert spreads are really popular
nowadays. We can obviously make all sorts of cupcakes (with varying flavors and designs) but then we
also often get requests for mini desserts like tartlets, brownies, Rice Krispy treats (people love them!),
mini hand pies, cake pops...There’s really no limit to what we can make!
