Many couples see the wedding cake as one highlight of the festivities that can be as fun andwhimsical or as upscale and traditional as they might desire. Deciding on the ideal cake shouldbe a team effort that's fun.
Before settling in on a flavor or a particular style, there are some questions that you need toanswer:What bakery do you intend to use? If you haven't picked one, do so. Once you decide on abakery, it's easy to get them to give you samples of cakes they excel in making. They might evenhave a specialty or two you haven't considered. Plus, most bakeries will offer samples to help acouple decide. If a friend or relative is making the cake to save a little money, find out what theirspecialties happen to be if you don't know. Consider a tasting party to help make the flavordecision.
How many will the cake need to serve? This is important. Anyone making the cake be it aprofessional baker or a friend who is a whiz at whipping up classy creations will need thisinformation to begin.Is there a price limit?

Picking out the cake might be a great place to start getting some practice in.For example:Flavor. If he has a favorite flavor, perhaps you can pick out the design. If neither of you wantsto budge, consider a tiered cake that has different flavors on each pillar. There is nothing wrongwith this approach and it can, in fact, be a real crowd pleaser, providing a taste of somethingeveryone will enjoy.Appearance. Again, the fine art of compromise might come into play here.
If she wants atraditional tiered cake with satin white frosting, but he wants something a little more fun, thinkdecoration. She can have the tradition with the appearance and the frosting. His desire can be metwith the topper. There is nothing written in stone that says a tiered, white wedding cake can'thave a whimsical topper.Options.

Fromspecial pies to custom-made cupcakes, the perfect choice is in your hands. Pick out what makesyou both happy.
