Your wedding cake will, in fact, be the center piece of your wedding reception.  The eyes of all your guests will turn to the layers of cream, frosting and sugar with which you will top off the celebration by cutting for all to share.  So when you are choosing your wedding cake you have to make sure that it not only matches the style and them of your wedding and reception, but that it is a proper reflection of you as a couple.  Choosing a wedding cake is probably one of the most enjoyable things about marriage planning.

 

What should my cake look like?

The design refers to the way your cake is built. For an old-fashioned look, you may choose to stack your wedding cake, setting layer directly upon luscious layer. For that fairy tale wedding, you might set your tiers on columns for a grand pillared look. Or, you may decide on a flat cake, baked in an interesting shape or meaningful pattern.

How should it be decorated?

Whether your dream cake is modern or traditional, ornate or simple, we will design a cake to enhance your wedding celebration.  Sugarpaste is the principal medium for most wedding cake decoration, though fruit, flowers, fondant, and other edible decorations are also very popular.

What filling should I have?

Filling is the delicious froth that is spread between cake layers, literally, to fill the cake in. Filling can be anything from jam, icing, chocolate, mousse, fruit, buttercream, cream cheese and more. It can be one flavor or a combination of flavors and filling types.

What flavor of cake is best?

Not only should a wedding cake look amazing, it should taste amazing, too. Determining the flavor of your cake is yet another opportunity for you to both showcase your tastes and round off a delectable reception menu with a divine treat. The most popular wedding cake flavors are lemon, vanilla, chocolate, yellow, spice and carrot. However, cake flavor options are limited only by the imagination
