Wedding Cakes

Is your wedding cake just a dessert after a quality catered meal, a mere confection??

Far from it! The Bride's wedding cake is not only the center of attraction and focal point of your reception, but it is a symbol of the sweetness the two of you will share during your lives together. Its first bites, lovingly given by each of you to the other, are symbolic of the sharing you'll experience, the giving of yourselves.

A cake is far more than just a confection, and its preparation is much more than just “baking a cake.”

The wedding cakes shown on these pages are the artistic results of years of work and practice, probably more than a few flops, and many sessions of working through the night before many weddings.

People who make and decorate wedding cakes are different from many of us. They are artists, lovingly investing hours into something that some folks will take for granted, and that will end up being cut and served quickly, and soon forgotten by all but those it honors: The Bride and Groom.

Make Some Decisions

1) What flavors do you want in the cake?

For each tier, you will have a number of options. The bottom tier, usually the largest, should be the type of cake you think most of your guests will want. You might have two layers; they don’t have to be the same flavor. The bottom layer could be dark chocolate, and the top layer could be light chocolate, or light chocolate and white, or whatever else you can arrange with the baker. The filling, then, can be any flavor available. You want light and dark chocolate with a raspberry filling? You can get it.

Come up with a list of flavors you’d like if you could have anything you want, and present them to the cake folks you talk with. Cake bakers and decorators are highly creative people, and many of them would love the chance to do something really exotic. (Of course, it might cost you...)
