Tips for Picking Your Ideal Wedding Cake

Some parts of planning a wedding can be boring. That may come as a shock to some brides in the midst of crunching numbers, but the fact of the matter that calling the same venue for the billionth time to make sure they have enough seating for your guests can get old, fast. Thankfully there are more fun things than boring things when it comes to planning a wedding. One of the tastiest jobs youll have during the planning process is getting to decide on what cake youll be indulging in on your big day. So when the planning blues have you stressed just remember you get one day of sitting down and tasting a bunch of cake. Below are a few tips which can help you narrow down the perfect cake for your wedding. Fondant vs. Buttercream Its the battle of taste when it comes to these two. Think of it was looks vs. taste. Buttercream is the top pick when it comes to a divine-tasting wedding cake. Checking out wedding websites can give you a good idea on just how many people use buttercream frosting on their cake its a lot. Fondant, while edible, plays another role when it comes to wedding cake. Have you ever browsed Pinterest only to find a popular Harry Potter cake, a beautiful weeping willow tiered masterpiece, or a cake made to look like the solar system? Thats all thanks in part to fondant. Often compared to edible Play-Doh although many people have tried eating Play-Doh fondant can help create a stunning cake to wow your guests. So it comes down to taste vs. looks. Cake Height Have you ever caught an episode of funny videos in which a beautiful wedding cake is either too big to get into the room, too tall for the ceiling height, or just too big to remain upright? Sure, cake height might be a relatively small thing in the grand scheme of things but it can be a make or break moment when you find that your cake cant be brought into the reception hall. Make sure you review cake height and other factors with your baker before finalizing your plans. Pick a Flavor You Want Your wedding cake is meant for your consumption, along with a bunch of your guests. Picking out your wedding cake should mean that you and your partner get a flavor you enjoy. Some bakeries will have a wide range of flavors to pick from. Sometimes it can get a little overwhelming trying to decide which flavor you think everyone would enjoy. Instead of thinking about your guests, pick out a flavor that you like. If you like chocolate, go for chocolate. If you like vanilla, pick vanilla! Dont get pushed into a cake flavor you dont like.
