"Hi. I am Melissa Maggiore with Alessi Bakeries. I'm here to talk to you today about what to bring to your wedding cake appointment. You should always have your right supplies for your appointment. Appointments are very important to have so you want to make sure you have everything with you at the time of the appointment. Some of the things you could bring might be a magazine. You might have lots of ideas with color preferences, what your dress is, maybe there's a special cake in the magazine that you want to design for you and your special day. You can also feel free to bring in pictures off of the Internet. Some of the wedding cake designs that you might prefer to see on your cake. Even if they're not the exact one. Your designer will get a feel for what you would like to see and what your tastes are and what your dislikes are. You could also feel free to just maybe pick up a greeting card. Maybe this card is the perfect coloring for what you're doing for your day. You could feel free to bring in pictures from maybe some of your friends. Maybe they had a wedding and you liked their cake. Or you liked how it was set up or how it was designed. So you can bring in pictures from other people. And most certainly you could always bring in a swatch of fabric to bring just to implement your color. Always try to be prepared and to bring in as many things that you can to help your designer know what you would like to see on you cake. And again I am Melissa Maggiore with Alessi Bakeries."
