By LauraLL

Finding the perfect cake for your wedding celebration is an actual necessity. You can’t have a wedding reception without a wedding cake!! A beautifully decorated cake is a wedding tradition for wedding couples. The wedding cake should look beautiful and taste delicious in order that you and all your family members and friends can enjoy the flavorful taste of your cake during such an important and special moment in both of your lives. Are you unsure exactly how to pick the best wedding cake for your reception? Well then you need to follow these helpful suggestions and easy tips.

Tip #1 – Attend a Cake Tasting to Try Out Flavor Combinations

You are not likely to know which flavor of cake to get unless you do not try out a few different combinations. Even if you are a fan of certain basic flavors, such as vanilla or chocolate, there can be so many other tasty flavors that will be fantastic for your wedding day reception that you simply do not even know about yet because you have not tasted them and given them a shot. There are tons of unique, wonderful flavors that the baker may be able to offer you for your specific needs, including chocolate raspberry truffle, chocolate chip, carrot with walnut, banana foster, and in many cases pink champagne.

When you want to taste the numerous cake and icing combinations that are more unique to discover what is perfect for you and your partner on the special day, you need to schedule a cake tasting.  This is important so you both get to try out a variety of samples. So after the cake testing, you and your partner should decide on the taste of your cake for your wedding.

OR, you can keep tasting and testing.

Tip #2 – Search Through Cake Styles and Decide on The One That You Like

Even though picking out the perfect flavor combination for the wedding cake, you will need to make a decision on the design and style of your} cake. You will find lots of great styles to choose from so the style you choose will depend on what you and your partner truly prefer and what the theme of your wedding is going to be like. Naked cakes are becoming increasingly ever more popular. Naked cakes routinely have much less icing on them, leaving pieces of non-iced cake showing on purpose.

Many people just like and choose the traditional white wedding cakes where each layer of the cake is covered in white icing or white fondant with white embellishments, such as white doves, butterflies, or assorted flowers that are made from edible fondant. If you want something that looks breathtakingly beautiful and has a lot of color to it, you may want to consider ordering a painted cake. A “Painted Cake” is an incredible creation! The baker takes the time to carefully cover the wedding cake in fondant and then uses assorted edible paints to give the cake a beautifully painted appearance.  Many people like their wedding cakes to appear like painted glass.

Tip #3 – Choosing the Best Size of Wedding Cake

Make sure you pick the best size for your wedding cake. You do not want something that is simply too small, but you also will not want to get something that is way too large either, because then you might end up with plenty of leftover cake that will last for months at the same time. The baker will be able to explain to you how big the wedding cake you will need depending on the number of people you have invited to the wedding reception. The worst thing that could happen is that you don’t have enough cake to go around. And that would just be such a drawback to your glorious day!

There are important decisions that must be made when choosing a wedding cake. A brief summary is:

1 – You should try out different flavor combinations along with your partner,

2- Pick a specific style for your wedding cake,

3 – And then choose the perfect size to make sure that there is going to be enough cake for everyone to enjoy during your wedding celebration.

Have a wonderful wedding day reception!
