Weddings are a once in a lifetime event for a couple. So it is only natural that no stone is left unturned to make it an affair to remember. The culmination of a wedding is the reception. The centerpiece at the reception is usually an elaborate wedding cake. The frosting is usually white, to symbolize purity and newness. They are often made in tiers, or levels, and there is usually some form of elaborate decoration.

When purchasing a cake you must decide on the size, type and style of the cake you want. Most wedding cakes have three tiers and are frosted with Royal Icing. However, there are many variations on this theme. Wedding cakes can come in any shape you like. Hearts shaped cakes are gaining in popularity, as are sheet cakes for smaller, less elaborate weddings. Colors and flowers (chocolate and fresh) also seem to be the modern bride s preference.

Choosing a baker can be a chore. Make sure you give a clear picture of what you want and ask plenty of questions. Get everything in writing including the price, delivery date and time. It s also important to reserve your cake by ordering it well before your wedding day. Make sure you sample several wedding cakes from various bakers. There are differences and your preference is what counts. Plenty of ideas can be found in books and on the Internet, so don t be afraid to explore before making a commitment. On this very special day, you want your wedding cake to look and taste great.
