Wedding Cake

You can order the wedding cake from a caterer or a bakery. Some hotels and restuarants may also be able to provide a wedding cake. But ordering it from a bakery who specializes in wedding cakes will probably be better. When ordering the cake you have to choose the flavor, size, design and shape. Size is determined by the number of guests. Choose the flavor you want. The most common flavors are carrot, chocolate, rum, white and lemon. You can also add a filling to your cake like custard, strawberry and chocolate. You can always consider having tiers with different flavors.

If you're planning to use a cake top other than flowers, be sure to discuss it with your baker. Some porcelains and heavier cake tops need to be anchored down into the cake. Your cake knife and toasting glass should complement your overall setting; these items will bring happy memories of you wedding. The bride usually cuts the first two slices with the grooms hand placed over her. The groom feed the bride first and the bride feeds the groom. Toasting glasses are use to toast each other after you cut the cake. It'susually decorated with ribbons or flower and placed near the cake. This makes a beautiful wedding photographs.

To save money compare the taste, type and quality. Some bakers don't have set-up and delivery fees, others do. In order to save money for the fee, have a friend or a family member to get a quick lesson on how to set up your cake. You can also check for inviduals who bake from their home. It's less expensive that ordering it in the bakery. Some bakeries require a deposit for columns and plates but some use disposable ones. It saves you the rental fee and the hassle of returning the items. To save money for the cake top, cake knife and toasting glass, you can borrow from a friend or family members, as "something borrowed" is an age old wedding tradition.
