Tips for choosing a wedding cake
The wedding cake and its design should reflect your personal style, taste and should, of course, go well with the decor and menu of your reception. So here are some tips for choosing the wedding cake.
Choose among many different wedding cake designs, only after you have selected your dress, the place for the reception, the reception decor, colours and anything else that may affect your choice of your wedding cake design.
You should try to select one of the wedding cake designs that will fit the overall theme and colours of your wedding and reception.
You could choose photo of the cake first and make everything else match that, but that approach will probably be much harder. Brides and grooms fool only themselves if they think that people care about the cake’s flavour and will not notice the wedding cake’s design and decoration. Aside from the bride’s glowing face and her beautiful dress, nothing says wedding like wedding cake designs!
The unique wedding cake ideas may come from looking at the pictures of other wonderful wedding cake designs. This may help you to find a cake photo that will help you design cake to enhance your reception.
There are lot of approaches to take for wedding cake designs, from traditional white or cream icings in classic designs to totally non-traditional works of colourful artistry. Today’s trend is just about anything which goes!
Miniature cakes are gaining popularity as well. Round shape may soon be past, as all kinds of shapes are coming into a picture: square, rectangular, oval, heart etc… But some couples still prefer traditional round shape and flavour like fruit or cheesecakes for wedding cakes.
Here are some questions to ask yourself when considering your wedding cake designs or ideas:
How big is your budget, and how much of that should be spent on the wedding cake design?
Will the cake be the only dessert or will it be one of many choices? How big a cake do you need? Not every guest will want a piece if you have other desserts or a meal.
Will wedding cake design and flavour complement your decorations and the rest of your menu?
How many tiers should the cake have and what colours should they be?
Would you like to have a unique, custom made wedding cake topper? Do you and your groom share a passion for motorcycles, cars, fishing, or something else that can be reflected in a miniature bride and groom atop your cake? May be a cartoon?
Do you want just an elegant glass or porcelain cake topper?
Should you simply serve the cake as dessert, or should you offer to put the guests’ slices into small boxes or bags for them to take home?
Try to make your preliminary decisions on these and other questions you might think of before you visit any bakeries, but stay open to their expert suggestions.
Whoever you choose, ask for references of recent customers and contact them to ask if they were satisfied and if they have any advice for you in dealing with the baker.
