If So Inklined Calligraphy
 I highly recommend Maliha Creations for your wedding cake. Anita Gupta can create the anything and her cakes are absolutely fabulous! If you have an idea she can bring it to life. Remember she does cakes for all occasions, so share her info with others.

Rev. Claire Goodman
 Anita's cakes should be in a cake museum... well, if there were such a thing! She is unbelievably creative and talented and not only are her cakes beautiful to look at but I have had the extraordinary experience of tasting them as well and they are delicious! If you want a wedding cake that will taste great and have a unique and individualized look... just for you... then contact Anita. And if you want someone to go to the cake tasting with you feel free to give me a call :-)

Tips and Advice
Inspiration and design is everywhere!  Dresses, fabrics, invitations, and flowers can all be used to create a beautiful wedding cake, but don't forget to look outside the box as well.  Past trips, engagement spots, and hobbies and pastimes can also be great in inspiring a wedding cake design.  My favorite place for inspiration is just to look around in nature!   

Think about the time of year your wedding will take place when deciding on wedding cake flavors.  Some flavors are more suited to the warmer months, lemon, fresh seasonal berries, and just taste better when they are in season.  During the colder months, chocolate and coffee is reminicient of brisk evenings by the fire.
