My wife and I are really frugal so we bought a sheet cake at a local grocery store! Wedding cake catalogs usually have lots of pictures which will give you a great idea of ​​exactly what you are looking for in your wedding cake. Cake catalogs usually contain lots of helpful information such as how to cut your wedding cake, popular cake flavor combinations, when to order the cake so it's fresh on your big day and so on.

Getting your hands on free wedding catalogs can be difficult sometimes. This is because local bakery shops typically have their own styles and one-of-a-kind cake designs. Sometimes your best bet is to look up wedding cake galleries online and then taking that design to your local bakery.

You should have a budget in mind BEFORE you go to the local bakery shop. This way you will not get in over your head and buy too much cake. To help you get a budget in mind, you will need an accurate head-count of the number of guests so you know how much cake to buy.

You can get great ideas for a wedding cake by looking at magazines and even books that focus on decorating. Once you have decided on the cake make sure to get everything in writing from the baker and then call him a couple of weeks before the wedding to make sure everything is on track. Do not leave anything to chance! If I were you I would get in touch with the baker a week before your wedding and go over the details again. Make sure he understands exactly what you want and will deliver it on time. I was at a wedding one time and when the cake was brought it, everyone noticed that the word was misspelled. This may seem like a small detail but with a little effort on your part it can be avoided. So remember to pay attention to the small details and do not feel overwhelmed, just take it one small task at a time.

Do not forget to get your cake supplies in addition to your wedding cake. You might want a stand or topper. Cake servers and knives are also popular items to have alongside your cake.
