After deciding you will provide the cake you must choose what kind of cake you want. A traditional cake that is usually a delicately flavored cake or if you want to be more contemporary then go with a chocolate or chocolate mix. Gourmet flavors are becoming very popular such as fresh fruit flavors or assortments such as mocha creams.

Once you have decided what kind of cake you want then you must decide what shape you will want. Round is the most traditional but now there are many couples that are going with the square shape. You can be creative as you like with shape as long as your baker agrees they can do that certain shape. Layers are usually dictated by the number of guest that you will have at your wedding and the more the guest means the more the layers you will have on your wedding cake.

It is a good idea to ask your baker if they have portfolios of past cakes because this can give you ideas in the ways that layers can be stacked or the trim you want on the cake. If your baker offers samples of cakes and fillings it is a great idea to taste some samples to get an idea if you like the cake and keep from having a negative surprise on your wedding day.

Next you will want to choose a wedding cake topper. Wedding cake toppers come in many shapes and sizes so make sure that you choose one that will fit on your wedding cake. You should choose one that also fits in with the overall theme of your wedding. There are many options that are offered for a cake.

The last decision that you will need to make is what type of utensil you will use to slice your cake. Some brides and grooms like monogram silver cutting pieces while other choose novelty crystal or china serving pieces. If you want to make it simple you can just use a simple knife that can be provided by the caterer.

A friendly reminder that when you order your cake you want to make sure you choose a cake that looks good but also make sure you find one that taste great.
