Choosing Your Wedding Cake

Before you start your search for the perfect wedding cake, here are some tips to bear in mind,

Budget – Have a budget in mind, the price of wedding cakes can vary greatly & it’s very easy to get carried away.
Size- The size of the wedding cake will depend on the number of guest. Fake layers are always an option if you are having a small wedding but want a big cake.

Shape: The most popular shapes are round or square however heart, oval & hexagon cakes are becoming more popular.

Design: Your choices here are endless, the internet & wedding magazines are a great source of ideas. Most wedding cake decorators will be happy to modify any of their designs to suit your colour scheme. Remember the more intricate the cake, the more expensive it will be.


Flavor: While it is essential that your wedding cake appeal to your visual senses, it is even more important that it taste delicious. There are a large variety of flavours available and there is nothing to stop you having a different flavour on each tier.
 
Colour: The icing on the cake is traditionally white or ivory. A more contemporary approach is to match your icing to your wedding colours. Anything goes from black to pale pastels or bright colors.
