Wedding Cakes Decisions

Friday, 24 July 2009 09:24

The other day, I took a break from wedding shoes shopping to think about my wedding cake. On your big day, one of the most important things that you will serve to your guests is the wedding cake. Therefore, I started to think through all of the details that I might want. First, I thought about my colors. My wedding colors are actually pink and turquoise. I thought what I might be able to do is put a combination of both colors on my cake. Then, I thought about the type of shape I wanted. A cake with different circular rounds on it is the most traditional, but I really think I prefer the square rounds. Next, I thought about whether or not I wanted to put flowers on the cake. I guess for me, it really came down to how the flowers and the colors would all match. I’m using pink roses and blue hydrangeas, so I decided to use blue as the base and put pink roses on the top of the cake to decorate the cake.

My fiancé and I are actually going in for a cake tasting next weekend and I am so excited. I think, besides the décor, the cake tasting is one of the best parts of planning the wedding! It’s probably because I love desserts. If I had my choice, the entire meal would be filled with different desserts and then capped off with the wedding cake. Of course, that probably wouldn’t go over too well with the rest of the guests, but I just love sweets!

For our cake flavors, we have a choice of a banana crème, a pumpkin, a tiramisu, a raspberry and vanilla cake, a chocolate cake and even a coffee flavored cake. My fiancé loves chocolate and I love a fruity combination so we are thinking of asking for different layers – chocolate and raspberry vanilla. Right now, we’re not sure if we want to go with anything too different although we’ve heard that the banana crème is fantastic. I’ll let you know what we decide.

Wedding cakes are one of the most important parts of the wedding. They help with the décor and they finish the meal for all of your guests so make sure you start thinking about your cake early on!

By the way - here is the one I'm thinking about. I'm planning on adding some pink roses on the top or sides, depending on what the florist suggests.
