One of the most important wedding planning decisions you will have to make is the wedding cake choice. Wedding cakes are the fantasy confection of many little girls and when it comes to grown up girls, not much seems to change.

What are the important things to consider when making this most important decision? Many!! And some of them are rather crafty too!

The first two things to figure out are how many people will be at the wedding, which determines how many servings will be needed. Let the baker use that information to determine the cake size. Next is whether to use a wedding cake specialist, a local bakery or to have someone who knows how to bake do it. That person might be a sister, an aunt, or a good friend. Once you’ve chosen the baker, choose the size. There are many different sizes to choose from, you could go with just a regular square cake and save some complication problems. However, a lot of brides like to go with the 2-3 tier wedding cakes. These are beautiful, though they can cause a huge issue; they risk the chance of leaning and then falling. The old saying, “The bigger they are the harder they fall definitely comes into play here.” Choose wisely when picking out the size and shape.

Whoever you choose to do the baking, make sure that you and the groom can do a taste test to decide on what kind of cake and then how you want the frosting and decorations to look. You will need to have made a decision about a color scheme prior to this. Maybe your cake will be the traditional white with white frosting with delicate colors and perhaps some flowers on it. There are several cake flavors to choose from in which this process can sometimes take such a long time. There is red velvet which is very popular, fruitcake, banana cake, carrot cake, sponge cake, lemon cake, cheesecake, traditional white cake and one of the top famous types, chocolate cake.

Once you have decided on the type you need to think decoration. Will there be a bride and groom figure on top? Pearls, ribbons, flowers, and fairies are also great decorations or you could go with something more symbolic to your wedding such as something given to one another on a first date. Many people do not like to break from tradition therefore they choose a traditional white cake with a groom and bride atop it. However, it’s you wedding cake so you are the artist!

Want a crafty idea? Here goes. Wedding cakes can be unbelievably expensive and maybe you feel priced out of the cake of your dreams. Make arrangements to use a ‘for show and pictures’ cake…a fake cake, if you will. Then when the ‘fake cake’ is wheeled into the kitchen, it is put aside and the kitchen staff will cut a beautiful sheet cake into carefully orchestrated pieces so that no one will be the wiser. Told you it was crafty!

One thing about the cake that you truly need to plan for in your budget is having the cake delivered to the wedding venue. A baker knows how to deliver a cake safely, on time, in perfect condition. Don’t try to cut corners on this issue!

Another thing to consider is having a backup plan just in case. Another cake in the kitchen? Wedding cookies and candies? Maybe you like pie and ice cream? Whatever your backup plan is, have it in place. Chances are the bride and groom will never see it. If it is not needed, great! Decide what to do with it if it is not used. You could send it to a food kitchen, a senior citizens center, an old folks home, a local hospital for the staff or any other place of you’re choosing so it doesn’t go to waste. You will enjoy thinking that other people got an unexpected and special treat on your wedding day.

Above all, have fun choosing your special cake. Plan ahead, relax and it will all fall into place for your wedding day. Choosing a Wedding Cake
