Wedding Cakes

The wedding cake is the showpiece (apart from the bride) of the big day. It should be the focal point of the wedding reception table. The possible options and styles are endless. A good idea before impulse buying is to thoroughly research on the internet and choose the wedding cake style that suits you. Wedding cakes can vary greatly in price, it is always a good idea to have a budget in mind and try to stick to it. Sponge and fruit cakes are the two most common types of filling, remember that fruit filled wedding cakes can take months to prepare so do order in advance to avoid dissapointment. Ideally you should be looking to order your wedding cake a good six months in advance of the date of your wedding. if you are in talks with a caterer for supplying the wedding breakfast or buffet ask them if they can provide any contact for cake makers - most caterers and cake makers share a mutual interest so you may be able to negotiate a discount on your cake.

Once you have decided on the choice of filling of your wedding cake you should start thinking about the decoration and the cake topper - it is easy to get carried away, choose something that is traditional and that is timeless - you dont want to look back at photographs in years to come with you standing next to time dated gaudy looking wedding cake.
