What Every Bride Needs to Know About Wedding Cakes!
List of Wedding Cake Toppers, Wedding Cake Ideas, Wedding Cake Supplies
When to Order - Seasonal Cake Ideas
- Order 6 months to 1 year in advance.
- Know type of cake you want or ask for seasonal suggestions. During the cooler months mousse and most types of wedding cakes work well.
- The month or time of year is important because the best type of cake varies with the weather. For example, hot summer months are not a good time for mousse in wedding cakes!
Tips for Pick Up and Delivery
- Give written directions for deliveries two weeks in advance.
- Give a time and day, 2 hours prior to ceremony for pick up.
- Be sure to ask your cake chef if they deliver. Not all designers offer that service. If they do, ask if there is an additional charge.

Ideas for the Best Wedding Cakes
- Traditional wedding cakes are vanilla pound cake, butter cream and are usually a stacked cake.
- A good pastry chef can mix and match different flavors wedding cakes (ex: carrot cake one layer, pound cake one layer.) This is a great idea for couples having different tastes. No arguments in this area!
- Ask to sample flavored icings and wedding cakes. Most designers and bakeries will offer free tastings. Be sure to ask.
| Wedding Cakes That Taste as Good As They Look! |
| Admittedly, your wedding cake design is important for wedding cake pictures and decorations, however, the inside of that cake should taste just as good as it looks...even better! Because you want every detail to be perfect, call a few local bakers or bakeries to schedule an appointment to sample flavors of wedding cakes. Most professional wedding cake designers will be happy to oblige! |
Dividers for Wedding Cakes
- Dividers may consist of champagne glasses, swans, pillars, etc. (Dividers add a classic look to a traditional cake.)
Using Fresh Flowers Atop Your Cake?
- Order appropriate cake topper size for flowers and type of cake ordered.
- Know how many flowers you need to order.
- Order the flowers for the cake as well as the topper if needed. Ask your baker if this is included. Speak to the florist about providing edible flowers.
- Communication between the bride, florist, and pastry chef is of utmost importance. Be sure to listen to the designers cake ideas while asking about some ideas of your own. many times, couples have ideas that sound great in theory, but don't hold up well in reality.
Size of Wedding Cake Toppers (Wedding Cake Ornaments)
- Order wedding cake tops at least one month in advance. Don't forget to order your wedding cake serving set and cake stands if you haven;t received these as bridal shower gifts.
- Keep size and weight of the wedding cake toppers in mind for the top of cake. A light cake should not have a heavy ornament adorning it.
- There are as many types of wedding cake toppers as there are wedding cake designs. They include ceramic, porcelain, plastic and fresh flowers.
