The Cake

At every wedding reception the cake is the focal point of the event, and when the guests enter the room every bride wants their wedding cake to look beautiful.

Choices are endless. Simple cakes with white icing and a few orchids can be very dramatic. You can always have a friend or relative bake your cake to save money to meet your budget.

Again – it’s all about the money and your choice. Both simple and glamorous cakes can be very elegant – cost here is the main factor.

If you decide on having a professional baker make your cake here are some tips that can help you make your decision:

Determine your Wedding Cake Design
As the centerpiece of your reception, your cake should represent the theme of your wedding and reflect your overall vision. Consider the style, shape, color and adornments. Make a list of qualities you like and don’t like, and browse and collect photographs of cakes that inspire you.

Factor Wedding Cake Prices
Cake cost is based per slice and is determined by the complexity of the overall design. The typical cost per slice can range anywhere from $2-$15 per slice and up.

Here are some ways to keep your cake within your budget.

• Simple wedding cakes are obviously less expensive, so choose a simple design with minimal adornments. Fresh fruit and flowers are inexpensive options, while handmade decorations cost more because they are difficult to create.

• If you have your heart set on an intricate design you saw in a magazine, don’t worry that the associated cost will break your budget. Many brides opt for a smaller, intricately designed cake to showcase at their wedding, while simple sheet cakes are held in the kitchen to be served to guests.

Choose your Wedding Cake Baker
First determine whether or not your wedding site allows an outsider baker; if so, pick a few local cake bakers and book appointments to view their portfolios. The one you choose should be able to create the beautiful masterpiece you desire, and it should taste scrumptious as well. Ask to taste some samples to determine the talents of your confection artist.     Read More
