So, your birthday is around the corner, and you want your birthday cake to be one of the best your guests must have ever seen. Now, is there a way to ensure this? Well yes, of course, there is! All you will have to do is keep these following points in mind and you will have the best birthday cake, you have ever had. Read on-

1. The first and most important thing that you need to take into account is the size of the cake. Now, this is something that you determine based on the number of guests you are intending to invite and the budget you have for the cake. If there are a lot of people coming, then a one-kg cake is not going to suffice. If, however, the invited guests are only your immediate relatives and close friends, then you can probably do with a small cake too. Again, if your budget for the cake is low, then you will not be able to go for a large cake, even if you have invited a lot of people. So, deciding on how much should be the weight of the cake must be dependent on mainly these two factors.
2. The second thing to consider is whether you are buying the cake from an online store, or getting it baked at some local bakery. You can also ask someone to send birthday cake online. Better yet, order it yourself. If you are going to order from the local baker, then make sure you pay a visit at the shop. But if you are going to order the cake online, then you will have to look at their catalogue carefully. Choose a cake that’s right for your age. Also, make sure the cake suits your taste and colour preferences. Don’t forget to pick the right flavour.
3. Another thing that needs to be decided well in advance is whether you want a multi-storeyed cake or a cake with only a single stack. Remember, if it’s a multi-storeyed cake, it needs to be handled well. So, if you are ordering the cake online, it’s better not to order a multi-storeyed cake. Also, if it’s going to be a small birthday party then there is no reason why you should cut a stacked cake, you can very well do with a non-stacked cake with less fuss. But then again, your choice would depend on what you like, and what you want for your birthday.
4. Another thing to consider is the expertise of the bakers in question. If you want fine detailing on the cake, then going for an old and experienced baker would be the best bet. If, however, you are not too much into styling and details, then a simple cake without much design on it will serve the purpose.

These are some of the most important things to consider while choosing a cake for your birthday. These points are important and should never be ignored, at least if you want no bad surprises on your birthday.
