What To Consider While Choosing Your Wedding Cake?

• Choosing a wedding cake is undeniably a
  cumbersome task, but theres a lot more to
  choosing the perfect cake than what you may
  initially think. Shashank Sinha, who works in an
  online flower and gift shop, named Floweraura,
  shares his experience and advice with us. He
  recommends few important points that need to be
  considered before buying your wedding cake.

Size of Cake

• A wedding cake with 3 tiers (10, 8, 6 inches in
  diameter) would roughly serve around 120 parts
  from a round shaped cake and, and 200 segments
  from square shaped cakes.

Heres a Tip In case, you have your heart set on
a 3-tier wedding cake, but plan to have a private
wedding with few guests, you can incorporate a
fake level. This will serve enough portions and
will still accomplish the look you need.

Venue

• If you have your wedding planned in a Hotel, even
  a large cake might look smaller. 

Heres a Tip Opt for a opting for a pedestal
cake stand in order to add height to your cake.
In fact, even a small square table will also help
make the cake emerge better.
5
Flavours

• Offer more to your guests. Well, you can add 2 or
  more different flavoured tiers in your wedding
  cake, thereby giving your guests the opportunity
  to choose from the flavours. 

Heres a Tip If you believe in tradition, the
smallest tier can be a fruit cake which can then
be picked up for a future occasion.

Decoration of Cake
Most of the modern cake-makers use sugar paste as
the main covering. It is a form of flexible icing
that is rolled out and gives an extremely soft
surface to the finished cake which is perfect for
garnishing.

• It not only seals the cake inside but also keeps
  it scrumptiously fresh for quite a long time.
  Sugar paste can also be coloured easily so
  couples shouldnt feel they are limited to white
  or ivory.

Heres a Tip

• If you want your cake to be fancy, your
  cake-maker will be glad to build something that
  looks bright and colourful.

8
Shape

• The shape of wedding cakes is changing too.
  According to current trends, double height tiers
  and shapes are becoming more popular other than
  round shape or square shape. A combination of
  different shaped tiers is also possible. 

Heres a Tip

• You may include elements from your dress,
  invitations and flowers into your cake design,
  etcetera.

9
Ask the right questions

• You can discuss with your cake maker about your
  requirement and the budget. If your dream cake is
  not in your budget, elements can certainly be
  included into a design that fits your budget.

Heres a Tip Do not forget to ask!
10
Cutting the cake

• Dont forget the cutting of the cake ceremony. It
  is not only a great informal photo shoot
  opportunity for your guests but also is very
  likely to be captured in your wedding album as
  well.  

Heres a Tip It is important to spend some time
on choosing a design which will give your wedding
breakfast a stunning centrepiece.

Eating It

• Last but not the least, dont forget to eat it!
  It has been known for either the bride or groom
  to be so busy in attending the guest at the
  reception that they completely forget the serving
  of the cake (if you think there might be a chance
  of this happening, tell the organizer to reserve
  a portion of the cake for you to take away with
  you).

Heres a Tip Make sure you get your cake and
enjoy it!
