Despite being a long tradition, the Wedding cake is seen as a vital part of your Wedding. Once the marriage has taken place the Wedding cake is the first thing people look for when entering the reception area. This is something women (no offense) of all ages completely adore while the men are looking for food and cocktails.
The cakes can be your classic white three tier design or some even have extravagant designs that run into the thousands of dollars. Others may choose the more conservative approach of a single tier design with your traditional chocolate or vanilla flavor.
These days some couples are more conservative and decide against the traditional large cake and go with something small that can be ateen and forever forgotten about once the wedding is over.
Some bride have even decided to make their very own Wedding cake (generally for smaller Weddings) to cut costs or just add their own very personal touch. Although I think this is a noble and valiant idea I would recommend bride's not participate in this undertaking as it is stressful enough near the day. A bride has many things going through her head on here special day and making the perfect cake should not be on of those.

Flowers have been a traditional thing on weddings. You can well put them in cakes too. You can either choose from fresh flowers or artificial ones. Fresh flowers are beautiful addition to your cakes. But it is very important that you choose fresh flowers wisely. Be sure that they are free from chemicals. Just to be on the safe side, sugar flowers are safer. These areible gum paste decorations that have wire or toothpicks on them.
Where To Place The Cake During
Most cakes, especially on summer, may end up melted under the heat of the sun. This can also cause flowers and flavored curls to dry up. Just be sure, always have a back up site where you can store your cakes to preserve its look and taste. Never place your wedding cake near the dance floor or where there is a heavy flow of traffic. You might just see your cake fall down. That's not a good sight at all! Be sure to check the sturdiness of the table you would place your cake.
