Tips on Picking a Wedding Cake

  • You can never have a big enough cake, the bigger the more grand. Big is beautiful in wedding cake world. The cake should always stand out during your reception. You can add height through dummy tiers, columns or even flowers in between each tier. Make a statement with the size of your cake, your cake has to be very visible. However, if you really want something not so big, it needs to be a little bit dramatic. Your wedding cake has to be seen and remembered.
  • Sounds basic but arrange a tasting. The look of the cake is important especially the finishing but don’t just go on how your cake looks – how does it taste? A cake tasting session is a great way to explore the many different options and flavours available, the choice and varieties are huge. Each tier can be a different flavour, something for everyone.
  • Nothing is grander than a shinning cake stand. As well as adding height it should also complement your cake style – a wow cake needs a gold cake stand, white for a more contemporary English feel and silver for all round class. Don’t forget to get a matching cake knife, the little details matter!
  • Cupcakes are everywhere. However, I’m not tired of them (just yet). Nothing could be prettier then a fabulous cake stand filled with various colours and designs of cupcakes. They can also double up as gift favours for your guests!
  • Striking colours and stylish monograms are a huge trend for cakes in 2010. Whether its edible painted ruffles, lace or flowers –the details matter!
