Choosing a wedding cake is never an easy task. Who doesn’t want their cake to be unique and beautiful? That’s why it is important to choose a baker that is creative and can work with you to make your dream vision come to life. There are many styles of cake decorating and these days, many couples are looking to get away from the more traditional style and would rather have something a little bit more modern.
Traditional styles of cakes are usually multi layered, stacked or tiered and frosted with buttercream or fondant. The more modern style of cake can be of any shape and color.
Finding a reputable bakery is very important and the first thing brides should do is to look online and do some research. Look for genuine customer reviews and take it from there. Once you have found a bakery that has the positive feedback you are looking for you should take a look at their website so you can view some of their work.
Make an appointment and visit the bakery to meet with the staff. It’s important that the bakery designing your wedding cake is able to understand your vision and is able to show you an image of the cake whether it be a drawn sketch or computer generated.
One of the most important factors of your wedding cake should be the taste. It won’t matter how good it looks if doesn’t taste as good. Some creative flavors include tiramisu, orange, banana, hazelnut torte and even chocolate truffle. Instead of having your cake finished with fondant or buttercream why not opt for a decadent chocolate covered cake? You can even choose to embellish your cake with jagged chocolate pieces or flakes.

You can choose from an array of gold to silver as well as bronze detailing. Having a metallic cake is the epitome of wedding luxury and class and one of the best things about metallic colors is that they can adapt to any style of cake. Whether you want geometric shapes or beautiful dainty lace designs, this color of cake will give you the modern look you are searching for.
Another creative idea is the cupcake cake. This can look absolutely stunning and the cupcakes can be different flavors and decorated in many ways. You can have as many tiers as you like and the top tier can be of a small cake adorned with your wedding topper.
Wedding toppers are meant to be a representation of the bride and groom. Designing your own wedding topper is a great way to show off your unique personalities. Etsy is a great website to visit and get some inspiration from. You don’t have to do the typical bride and groom topper either. Some interesting ones that are popular are silhouettes and even initials or inspirational quotes. Be as creative as you can. The sky is the limit!
