Picking the Best Wedding Cake


A wedding cake is one of the highlights of the wedding reception, not just the cutting but also the display. Your wedding cake is going to be the center of attention at the reception and thus needs to be displayed properly. Thus, you should take some time to choose the perfect wedding cake.

Nowadays, there are hundreds of cakes that you can choose from, which vary in design, look, as well as taste. 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:

The first and most important thing to decide when choosing a cake is how much of your budget you are going to allot for this edible, sometimes extravagant decoration. The average wedding cake costs about 500 dollars and is generally priced by the slice. The final cost of the cake is determined by time and labor, design, number of tiers, icing and filling choice, decorations and method of delivery.

Go through the cake sample pictures from different confectioners and bakers. Looking through wedding magazines is also a good way to find a wedding cakes design. If you do not find something that you like, you can always design your own 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, then you should keep this in mind while determining the exact number of people.

Finally, be sure to arrange a cake tasting with your baker, as they will be able to help you decide on flavors based on your preferences. Not only is this fun, it's a tasty way to spend an afternoon.
