Essential Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Cake
Getting married is a special day, and choosing the perfect wedding cake is an important part of the celebration. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right cake. Make sure you consider the following before making any decision:
Consider the style of your wedding
Your wedding cake should reflect the style and theme of your wedding. If you're having a formal wedding, consider a traditional tiered cake. If you're having a more casual affair, a naked or semi-naked cake might be a better fit. If your wedding has a specific theme, consider incorporating that theme into your cake design. Also don’t be limited in thinking that you must have a cake! We have catered a number of weddings where they have gone done an alternative route, our personal favourite has been a Cheese Tower!! Made up of a number of local cheeses, a tiered tower was created with accompaniments to go along.
Choose the right flavours
When choosing the flavours for your wedding cake, consider the season, the time of day and of course, your personal preferences. If you're having a summer wedding, consider lighter flavours, such as lemon or strawberry. If you're having a winter wedding, consider richer flavours, such as chocolate or red velvet. Consider offering multiple flavours to satisfy a variety of tastes.
Decide on the size and shape
The size and shape of your wedding cake will depend on the number of guests you're expecting and the style of your wedding. A tiered cake is a classic option, but you can also choose a single-layer cake or a dessert table with a variety of sweets. The shape of your cake can also be tailored to your preferences, from round to square to hexagonal.
