There can be many tasks involved in wedding planning that you absolutely dread tackling. Wedding cake ideas and tastings, however, are not one of those tasks! Picking out an amazing wedding cake and grooms cake for your wedding can be a fun and creative adventure that your future hubby will be happy to participate in. Before contacting bakeries you should first decided on some wedding cake ideas. The size, shape, color, decorative details, and flavor options are all things to consider before you book your tastings.

Wedding cake design: Choose a cake that fits in with the details of your wedding.

Just like the centerpieces and flowers, your wedding cake design is also a part of the décor of your wedding day. Choosing a design that flows well with the theme of the wedding will make for beautiful pictures, and create a lovely element for your guests to admire. If your wedding is a traditional or formal affair, going with a white three tiered cake, like the one pictured above, is a great option to keep things classic. You can also add details on your cake that tie in your wedding colors. If your wedding is somewhat untraditional you may want to go for an untraditional cake that radiates your spunky personality.

Wedding cake ideas: Don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

Just like everything about your big day, your amazing wedding cake should be a reflection of you and your fiancé. It will be something that you look back on for years with happy memories. If you want something out of the ordinary, and it fits in well with your wedding, you should go for it. I ordered a King Cake for my very private New Orleans wedding, and it was one of the most memorable aspects of the day.

Wedding cake design: Have fun choosing a cake, and trust your baker.

Whatever you choose for your wedding cake, be sure to have fun and enjoy the time spent designing and tasting the cake. Once you come up with your “must have” details, present them to your chosen baker, and then leave it in their hands. Trusting your vendors is one of the key elements to stress free wedding planning! Happy planning!
