I’ve done many wedding cakes, but all for family and close friends. In each case, including my daughter, brides made all the decisions. Mom’s weren’t even present at consult. On the one occasion when the Mom was going to be present, I emailed the bride that Mom was to sit in the background. That this was HER consult. I knew this Mom & Bride very well, and Mom tended to be a bit if a control freak.
In your instance, sad to say this bride has to develop a backbone because the wedding cake is the least of her worries. Sounds like her Mom has browbeat her for years. Hate to see the interference in her married life!! That being said, I agree with the post advising you to try and get the brides input sometime before the wedding. Funny twist isn’t it??……we usually here about Bridezilla…this time it’s Momzilla!!!!
