Let us have a quick look at the basic possibilities of each category.
Dig the design
You can choose between an elaborate, traditional design or go for an elegant modern look. No matter what you choose, do so keeping your own personality in mind. The wedding cake is a reflection of both you and your partner’s taste. The look of the cake should be synchronized with the venue and decoration of the reception, the attire and menu. If you are confused, you can go through well-illustrated books and catalogs in the bakery.
The ripe type
Fruitcake is a very popular choice for traditional wedding cakes. Nevertheless, do not limit yourself. You can take your pick from the simple, fondant, cup cake or the French wedding cake. You can even go for the castle wedding cake, mouse filled cakes, cheesecake, pound cake or sponge cake. Then there are the common flavors like standard chocolate or vanilla cake.
Savor the flavor
The popular wedding cake flavors include vanilla, lemon, apple, coconut, carrot, spice, pumpkin, banana, red velvet and chocolate of course.
Be sure to shape
Whether you choose a big or small wedding cake, they are found in a variety of shapes. The common ones include round, hexagonal and heart-shaped ones.
Accessorizing: the cherry on top
This is adding that little touch which can make a big difference. Add accessories like toppers, boxes, knives, stands, servers, charms and cookies. They can either be traditional or have modern touch. You can add icing or frosting to give it that pretty and elegant feel. Whether vintage or classic, throw in a few edible food items like nuts, chocolates or fruits around it.
As you can see, there is a lot to plan while deciding on the cake. Ask yourself how much you are willing to splurge on the cake. Depending on that, fix the design, color and toppers. You must choose the size of the cake depending on the number of guests. Then you have to fix the number of tiers the cake should consist of. Decide whether all tiers should be of the same flavor or each level have a different flavor. Whatever shape, size, and color you go for, keep your personality in mind. Be self -expressive!
