by WeddingCakeCreations.com One of the best parts of any wedding is definitely the cake. The wedding cake is an important part of the reception and symbolizes so much more than just a tasty dessert. The significant role that cakes play in a wedding is why they should be chosen with care. Here are a few things to keep in mind when deciding on a wedding cake. The Time and Place of the Wedding In the past wedding cakes were generally fruit cakes because they were rich treats that lasted a long time regardless of the weather – not so today. With the sheer variety of different cakes available from mousses to ice cream, the date and place of your wedding will play a big role in the kind of cake you can have. If you are planning a summer wedding with an outdoor reception, then your cake will have to be hardy enough to withstand summer heat. However, if you will be in an air-conditioned hall then you will have more flexibility with your choice of cake. Just be sure to discuss the details of your day with your baker who will undoubtedly be able to steer you in the right direction. The Size of the Wedding Cake Traditionally wedding cakes were several tiers with a topper to cap it off. Today wedding cakes vary in style, shape and size as much as the scale and scope to the weddings themselves! The size of your wedding cake will be influenced by the number of guests you expect. The larger your guest list – the larger the cake. If your guest list is just too big to adequately be served by one cake then you always have the option of having a main cake for cutting and serving individual-sized mini cakes. The Flavor and the Icing Although choices were limited in the past, today the sky is the limit! You can literally serve any flavor of cake that suits your fancy, although most couples choose plain white cakes with vanilla frosting simply because they please the widest number of people. However, that does not mean that you cannot combine several flavors in one cake or have it smothered in caramel-mocha frosting – in the end, it is your cake and you should be happy with it. Decorations and Accents Once you have chosen the flavor and the frosting next comes the accents or decorations. What you decide to have on your cake will truly be a reflection of who you are and what you like, so have fun with it and make your cake as memorable, beautiful and unique as your relationship.
