How to Choose a Drop Dead Gorgeous Wedding Cake
I'm about to Reveal to You the Secret to Choosing a Dreamy Wedding Cake Design
A wedding cake adds that final elegant touch to your reception and celebration party. The cake helps express your personality and is a centerpiece for you and the guests to enjoy. It also provides a delightful, tasty treat for guests after a busy wedding day.
Wedding Cake Selection
When selecting your wedding cake, be sure to choose one you'll be happy with. There are many styles, colors, and patterns available, but what works for one will not work for all.
Before You Start ...
Before choosing a wedding cake, you need to know where and when you will hold the wedding. Some types of cakes are simply out of the question if you plan to have your wedding reception outdoors during warm weather.
A mousse or ice cream cake should definitely be marked off the list in these cases! Talk with your baker to see what type of cake and icing will be appropriate for the season and location.
How Many People at the Wedding Reception?
Also, consider how many people you plan to invite. Try to get an estimated head count before ordering the cake. Wedding cakes can be small or large. They can be designed to feed many people or a small group.
If you plan on a small number of guests, you can save money by ordering a cake accordingly.
Other shapes include oval, mini, or even a hexagon or octagon shape.
Cake Layers and Styles
The layers might be stacked tall directly one on top of another or the tiers might be scattered unevenly on strong column supports (which can make dividing and/or slicing the sections much easier).
Flavours of Wedding Cakes
Wedding cakes can come in a variety of flavors. You'll find designs with tastes of just about any color of the rainbow.
Cake flavor is very important. You can choose white angel flavor, plain vanilla, or chocolate, or go with other unique flavors such as pineapple, almond, or coconut.
With some multiple tier cakes, you can have various types of mini cakes on each level so there will be different flavors everyone can enjoy. Be sure to choose icing that will not melt easily and that will hold its flavor for a long time.
Choosing Wedding Cake Designs
You can choose from numerous wedding cake designs, from floral designs to ribbons to pearls.
The cake itself can have plain, smooth icing colored to your choosing with various decorations added for the perfect design.
Choose colors, designs, and a wedding cake topper (the little bride and groom, etc.) to match your reception theme. Also, be sure the colors will blend well with your decorations and favors. Remember, the all-important tiered cake will be your reception centerpiece. Don't have a style that's half baked!
