One of my favorite parts about the wedding, is the cake. Over time many things have changed with weddings, but one thing that stays the same, there is always a beautiful cake. The wedding cake is a big part of the wedding, and something "everyone” remembers. So, when deciding on which cake is right for your perfect day, there are many factors to take into consideration.

The date and location of your wedding is crucial when choosing the cake. For example, if you plan on having your wedding in the summer at a hot location, things like mousse, or even ice cream cake might be out of the question. Ask your baker what types of cake are in “season.”

Wedding cakes can come in all shapes and sizes. Traditional cakes which have several tiers are normally a great choice, and one your guests will remember. Depending on how many guests you have, your options are limitless. Of course the biggest factor in deciding how large your wedding cake should be, is knowing how man guests you will have. The number of guests you will have will give a pretty accurate idea of how much cake will be needed. Ask your baker for help in deciding what size your cake should be.

Depending on the style of the cake, you have many different options. If the cake is multiple tiers, many people are choosing to have several different kinds of cake. Each level can be different, offering something for everyone. With weddings, almost anything goes when it comes to the cake.

Traditionally icing has been white or a light cream color. However today, many are matching their icing color with the overall theme of the wedding.. The actual icing can be a simple sugar and flour recipe, or even a rich cream cheese icing. There are many great icing ideas online which are sure to please even the most picky guests.

Decorating a cake is only limited by your imagination. Some couples design the cake around the décor or theme of the wedding. While others give the cake a unique look, with crazy and outrageous decorations which define who they are. Most Depend on what you need, bakers decorate cakes with the look of lace, embroidery appliqué or elegant drapes or swag.

Your wedding cake should be as individual as you are. The worst thing you can do when choosing a cake is just “settling.” Shop around a bit, decide on the cake, style and decorations, and find a baker who is willing to accommodate you. Many couples even order their cakes as much as 6 months ahead of time to insure they get what they want.
