How To Choose Your Wedding Cake

There are countless styles of wedding cakes to choose from. Select a design that suits both personalities and reflects your chosen theme and colors of your reception.

The traditional multi-tiered wedding cake is still a favorite of many couples. Some of the most popular flavors include chocolate, white chocolate, cheesecake, lemon, carrot cake or banana cake. Another choice is fruit cake, which keeps best refrigerated and can be frozen.

Another tradition is for the bride and groom to keep (freeze) the top layer of the wedding cake as a souvenir of there special occasion. Then they serve it up on their first anniversary.

It’s a good idea to start looking for cake design ideas a few months in advance of the event.  This will give you plenty of time to find ideas that will fit your wedding budget. Don’t forget to consider the number of guests you are planning to invite and whether the cake will be served at the wedding or given to guests to take home.

Once you have decided on the type of cake you want then you need to find a reputable wedding cake maker. Bring samples of your colors and decorations to your first meeting. You should also take along any pictures of design ideas that appeal to you.  This will ensure that you and your cake decorator are on the same page.
