How to Choose the Perfect Cake for Any Occasion

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, wedding, baby shower, or graduation, one thing’s for sure — no event is complete without the perfect cake. At Fairies ‘n Sprinkles Cakes, we help you create cakes that don’t just look stunning but taste unforgettable too.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to choosing the right cake for your next special occasion.

1. Know the Occasion

Every event calls for a different vibe.

  • Birthday? Go colorful and fun — think themes, characters, and personalized toppers.

  • Wedding? Elegant tiers, floral accents, or minimalist buttercream may suit your style.

  • Baby Shower? Soft pastel colors and gender reveals are always a hit.
    Tailoring your cake to the theme of the event makes it more meaningful.


2. Consider Your Guest Count

Ask yourself: How many people are attending?
A single-tier cake might work for 10–15 guests, but if you’re expecting a crowd, go for two or three tiers. You can also mix in cupcakes or cake pops to cater to more guests without breaking the budget.


3. Pick a Flavor That Everyone Will Love

Vanilla and chocolate are crowd favorites, but red velvet, lemon, or even caramel are great alternatives. For weddings and formal events, offer multiple tiers with different flavors to please every palate.


4. Choose a Design That Matches the Theme

Your cake is part of your decor. Bring in your color palette, florals, or even a design inspired by your invitation or outfit. Not sure what you want? Send us inspiration and we’ll work our magic!


5. Order Ahead of Time

To avoid disappointment, especially during peak seasons, we recommend placing your order at least 7–14 days in advance for custom cakes. Weddings and large events may require 3–4 weeks lead time.


6. Add a Personal Touch

Include a name, age, message, or custom topper to make your cake one-of-a-kind. At Fairies ‘n Sprinkles, we specialize in cakes that tell a story — your story.
