White chocolatePlanning a wedding can be a nerve-wrecking experience simply because there are so many arrangements and decisions to be made, but one of the more enjoyable tasks is choosing among your options of wedding cakes. Things to consider are who will bake and decorate it; what kind of cake, what style, and how large it will be; how it will be decorated; and how much it will cost.

Whether your baker is Aunt Susie or Martha Stewart, remember that this is your wedding and your cake. One of the main reasons that couples become frustrated over their wedding plans is that they try to please too many other people and forget to please themselves. If you want a carrot cake but Aunt Susie only makes traditional white cakes, then politely explain to her that you will hire someone as your baker and make the big day less stressful for her. Giving her an alternative task, such as making favors for place settings, can still include her in your preparations. Using a local baker with a good reputation will allow you to make last minute changes more easily than would ordering from an unfamiliar merchant, and the price may be negotiable.

Choosing the style and decorations for your wedding cake should be a fun experience. Most bakers have a portfolio of photographs showing the different options from which you can choose. If you are the imaginative type and have a mental picture of what you want, you and your baker can work together on designing the cake of your dreams. The number of guests attending your wedding will probably determine the size of the cake, which may affect your choice of styles. Your baker will be able to tell you what is reasonable for the size and content of your cake.

Perhaps the most personal choice you will make concerning your wedding cake is the topper. Although the groom’s opinion is not always sought during wedding preparations (often to his relief), it should not be neglected when the wedding cake topper is chosen. Think about what you both want to express and how you want to express it. If you are veering away from the traditional bride and groom, many theme wedding cake toppers are available. Some examples are western, marine, sports, nature, humorous, and religious. Another option is wedding cake monograms. These can range from classic to elegant designs in a variety of materials, including acrylic, wire, fabric, and flowers.

Not only are the toppers important aspects of wedding cakes, but so are the servers. Cutting that first piece of cake is a popular Kodak moment, so you want your wedding cake server to be photogenic as well. Servers come in a variety of styles, and yours should be chosen to compliment your wedding cake. It may be gold, silver, have crystal ribbons, heart-shaped, or matched to the theme of your topper. Regardless of what you choose, sharing your wedding cake at that moment with your new spouse begins a wonderful life of love and companionship.
