What does it take to become a wedding cake designer?

Answer 1

Cake decorating is like creating edible art. If you have the thirst for creativity and can lay it out with icing or even draw it out, its a pretty sweet job as you progress. Its a neat interesting job.

There are some down falls (as with most jobs) such as having time limits, pay varies, but the better you get at designing the better the pay will be.

Things can get a little stressful trying to meet the satisfaction of your customers, but don't worry with time youll master it and help design gorgeous designs. Lots of work! But if you desire and enjoy your career itll be a piece of cake. Just keep your cool be patient you'll bump into ALL types of people. ;) goodluck!

Answer 2

The skills I look for in a wedding cake designer start with flair and imagination. To design someones perfect cake, be it for a wedding or other occasion, you have to be able to imagine it, to be passionate about cakes!
Office skills, such as word processing, social media skills, etc. are also required.
In my company, I also look for graphic design / skills to be able to sketch your idea, and a high level of organisation, to be able to manage all of your customers.
