Planning All the Parts of Wedding Cakes



You are planning your wedding, and it is time to choose a wedding cake. Back in the dim, dark ages, the whiteness of the cake was supposed to reflect the purity of the bride. It also usually ensured that the cake itself tasted like paste. Now that we are in an era where the flavor of the cake is a lot more important than the color, there is a lot more to choose from. There are wonderful vanilla cakes, spice cakes, chocolate cakes, or any other flavor available for your wedding. You can even get a gourmet cake to ensure that the flavor will be absolutely scrumptious. The choice is yours.

When it comes to the 'look' of your cake, the choices are apparently endless. You can have a lovely traditional cake with white icing with white flowers and swags decorating it and topped by a bride and groom. Your cake can reflect the colors of your wedding party with the flowers of the bouquets as a part of the icing, either carefully set around each layer or swirled in a cascade falling from top to bottom, widening out at the bottom. There are wedding cakes that are sculptures of the bride, complete with wedding dress. At a medieval-themed wedding, you may see a cake shaped like a castle complete with moat, drawbridge and pennons flying gaily. There are fantasy wedding cakes with fountains incorporated as a part of the cake. Wedding cakes come shaped like hearts, like and individual flower, like pumpkin coaches, like cake houses, and with bridges connecting two sides of the cake. While white is still extremely popular, at least as a base color for the frosting, when it comes to colors or color combinations, your imagination is the only limiting factor.

Wedding cake servers generally come in silver or gold with flower and ribbons to wrap the handles but there are many other options out there. The handles of the servers can be shaped as hearts, as lilies, as cowboy hats, with little gold angels, and with an African-American bride and groom to name but a few of the choices.

Let us not forget the cake topper. The traditional bride and groom now come in a variety of poses from dancing to riding a bicycle. They can even have the faces of the actual bride and groom on them. There are doves and monograms, hearts and rubber duckies. Whatever your tastes, there is a wedding topper just right for you.

Your wedding is special and should reflect your character and your desires. Today's cakes can be tailored to be exactly what you want in look and taste.
