Apart form the bride and the groom the centerpiece of your wedding reception is likely to be your wedding
cakes. So when you are choosing your cake it is a wise thing to begin to do so long before the wedding day
is even close. Many couples have an idea of the kind of wedding cakes they would like and many others have
a particular dream cake they must have. So you should never settle for less than what you desire as far as
you wedding cakes are concerned.
It is prudent to think of what their guest list will consist of in terms of the cross section of people
who will be there. The older people tend to prefer fruitcake normally, and younger people tend to go for
the sponge cake. The choice therefore will dictate what size the cake will be and you will need almost
twice the sponge to fruit. It will also affect the basic design you will have available, because many of
the wedding cakes designers, have serious reservations about sponge cakes.
The problem designers have include the suitability of sponge to sustain a cake above as may be required as
per the stack design, and then there is an issue of freshness. It is preferable that when icing a cake, it
be done a certain number of days before adding final touch decorations, as far as sponge cake is concerned
this is critical to maintain the freshness of the cakes. Designers prefer when stacking to have the icing a
slightly harder as this will compensate for the problems that occur by stacking especially accessibility.
If you are fortunate to find a great yet gifted cake designer, then the quality and personality of your
wedding cakes will be apparent.

knight and princesses theme then a cake that is laced with pearls and a golden crown would be in order.

figurines of the couple in a boat or a streetcar. If you were going for the popular Victorian theme
wedding, then you would have a cake that is adorned with bows and roses. Another popular one is the
Oriental-themed wedding, here the cake will have a two tiered topped with handmade orchid.

among others. Most cake designers who have good talent can replicate bridal bouquets on the cake or a
special garden similar to your yard, complete with picket fences and a dog.
