Your wedding cake will feature in a lot of wedding photographs, which you will be looking at for years to come. Thus, you should take some time to choose the perfect cake for you.A few things that you should think about considering for your wedding cake includes, size, taste, colour, filling and decoration.
The Look – In terms of the look and appearance of the cake the best places to look for inspiration are magazines, books, wedding fayres and of course the internet.
Function – What are the reasons for having a wedding cake, if it is simply decoration for your wedding reception, the taste and how many portions is not important however if you have 500 guests and the cake is to be given as deserts then make sure you have enough cake to go around.
Style and Colour – Think about if you want the style and colour of the wedding cake to match the colour scheme or theme of the wedding. Think about subtle touches of colour in the decoration.Shape & Size – You can have a from 1 tier to 10 tiers, a round, square, hexagonal or diamond shape or even cup cakes to make up the display.
Taste – Fruit filling is tradition however there are plenty of options to choose from in terms of filling and make sure you remember to accommodate all guests with allergies.
Accessories – Make sure you have your sugar flowers, ribbons, flowers, cake toppers and candles included in your budget as your cake will not look so special without one or more of these.
Potential Suppliers – There are many local wedding cake suppliers with a large range of options and prices. If a family member is a particularly good baker and skilled decorator then why not ask them for example Mum made our cake and Sister did the icing and decoration.
