Cakes 101: Covering the Basics, Part 3



What flavor... The traditional white wedding cake with white frosting still makes its classic appearance now and then, but today anything is a possibility! Consider your guests - if you have a lot of kids or non-drinkers, maybe you want to avoid the alcohol flavors. Consider your menu - if you're having lemon chicken, you may not want to select a lemon cake. And finally, consider what you love to eat! Carrot cake, hazelnut torte, deep chocolate with raspberry filling, cheesecake...If you and your honey have a favorite flavor, ask your cake designer about using it.


The cake topper... Crown your reception's edible centerpiece with a beautiful, unique, or meaningful cake topper. The classic bride and groom figurines - updated with an elegant, ceramic style - are always appropriate for couples who love tradition. Fresh flowers are gorgeous of course, and adding some thin, tall candles amongst them on the top layer would be romantic and visually appealing. If quirky fun is more your style, then how about incorporating some favorite things, hobbies or interests of yours, such as a surfboard and palm trees, the Eiffel tower, seashells, or a snow globe. Other ideas for a more formal wedding include your monogram, a wedding cake candle or tall tapered candles, a framed photo of you two, fall leaves, or elegant Christmas ornaments.
