Traditionally, wedding cakes used to
be three tiered, and were covered
with royal icing. Nowadays, there
are hundreds of cakes that you can
choose from, which vary in design,
look, as well as taste. You can even
get a wedding cake customized to
your own unique design and have just
about any design under the sun.
When you
are ready to start looking for the
perfect wedding cake, these are the
factors that you have to take into
consideration in choosing the
wedding cake:
1) Size
of the Cake: The size of the wedding
cake will depend on the number of
guests that you are expecting. If
you are planning to save some cake
for guests who could not accept your
invitation and will be unable to
attend, and are also planning to
send your wedding cake to
out-of-town invitees, then you
should keep this in mind while
determining the exact number of
people.
2)
Design: Go through the cake sample
pictures from different
confectioners and bakers. Looking
through wedding magazines is also a
good way to find a wedding cake
design. If you do not find something
that you like, you can always design
your own cake.
3)
Flavor: While it is important that a
wedding cake appeal to the visual
senses, it is even more important
that it taste good. Else you may be
left with a whole lot of inedible
wedding cake. Choose from the
regular vanilla or chocolate, fruit
cake or sponge cake, cheesecakes,
and even wedding cakes with a mousse
filling. If you are tempted by
different flavors and can't make up
your mind, you can have different
tiers in different flavors!
Most
bakers require you to place your
order at least a couple of months in
advance. So don't leave choosing the
wedding cake till the last minute,
or else you just might have to do
without.
