Choosing Your Wedding Cake<br />
BY LISA MARIE SMITH<br />
The main focus of most<br />
wedding receptions is<br />
the wedding cake.<br />
Not many people leave<br />
the reception before the<br />
cake is cut, as it is an<br />
important tradition.<br />
Your wedding cake will<br />
feature in a lot of wedding<br />
photographs, which you will<br />
have to look at for years<br />
to come. Thus, you should<br />
take some time to choose<br />
the perfect wedding cake.<br />
So here are my top tips to<br />
wedding cake perfection!<br />
STEP 1: START EARLY<br />
Your venue choice can really influence the aesthetic<br />
and design details of your cake: Delicate buttercream<br />
icing won’t withstand the heat as well as sturdier<br />
fondant at an outdoor summer wedding, for example,<br />
so once you’ve secured your location, start shopping<br />
around for your baker.<br />
STEP 2: FIND YOUR BAKER<br />
Word of mouth is the tried-and-true way to find a<br />
baker, but attending wedding fairs is another route.<br />
Couples have the opportunity to meet local bakers and<br />
see and sample cake without having to commit to a<br />
private consultation.<br />
STEP 3: MEET AND GREET<br />
Once you’ve narrowed your search to two or three<br />
bakers (or even The One), the cake journey begins!<br />
Before even thinking about red velvet vs. vanilla bean,<br />
your baker will need the nitty-gritty details such as<br />
wedding date, venue and estimated head count.<br />
