How to choose a
wedding cake?
by, Behnaz Shafie
Similar to planning the rest of your wedding,
choosing a wedding cake can be difficult. There
might be hundreds (if not thousands!) of photos
you have seen and liked, yet you cannot make
the final decision of which is the one for you.
Here are some tips to help you streamline favor-
ites and finalize your decision with more ease.
1. Consider the overall feel and theme of your wedding. Are
you having an intimate outdoor wedding? Then perhaps
the multi-tiered cake with lots of edible flowers is not fit-
ting. Are you having a luxury reception at an elegant ho-
tel or club? Then chances are, that a naked cake really
does not tie in with the rest of your wedding.
2. Consider the size of the wedding. If you are throwing an
intimate reception for 50, you really don’t need a cake
bigger than two tiers or perhaps a smaller 3 tier one,
whereas for a reception of 200+ guests you have to con-
sider a 5 or 6 tier cake to serve your guests.
3. Choose your wedding cake de-
signer carefully. Look at their photos,
check their website, read their reviews
on wedding related sites. Referrals
are very important, but keep in mind
that what your friends liked and what
worked for them may not necessar-
ily be what you want. Referrals from
your wedding planner are reliable as
your planner has nothing to gain and is
recommending vendors according to
your needs, style and budget.
