Deciding on your Wedding Cake Shape and Design
A Wedding Cake size and style is pre determined by the number of people on a guest list.
A Wedding Cake can be any shape, the most popular would be Round or Square, but you could also choose from heart, oval, hexagon and petal. If you're on a tight budget Square Wedding Cakes offer more slices of cake for your money. It can be a single tier, a two, three, four or even five tier. It does not have to be stacked; it could have a single tier placed on platforms near and around each other.
Another factor in making this decision is the flavour of your cake. Solid cakes like Fruit Cake, Mud Cake (solid damp texture like brownie), Carrot Cake and Biscuit Cake are better if your cake is being tiered. Light Sponge Cakes cannot take the weight of another cake on top, and collapse is more probable. Sponge Cakes are fine if you are either having single tiered cakes placed on the individual platforms or they are placed above the heavier cakes such as Fruit Cake or Biscuit Cake, or as your top tier.
Wedding Cakes do not have to just be tiered cakes. It is also popular to have Cupcakes or a Cupcake tier with a single Wedding Cake on top, also Novelty Cakes.
Think also about the flavour of the icing. Chocolate Cakes are very popular now and so you could have a Chocolate Icing covering your cake with Chocolate decorations.
Bring along any photo's or magazines of Wedding Cake ideas that inspire you, so the perfect Wedding Cake can be created and designed just for you.
