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 your designer
wedding cake:
1) Size of the Cake: The size of the wedding cake will depend on the number
of guests that you are expecting to your reception. 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) Flavour: 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 flavours and can't make up your
mind, you can have different tiers in different flavours!
