What can I have?
You can have just about every conceivable style and shape of wedding
cake from a simple round single layer for a small celebration with a
few guests, to a model of the star ship enterprise if that is your theme.
Traditional tier designs are ideal for larger weddings and are best
made with fruit, although the upper tiers could be made of sponge to
accommodate different tastes. A tiered cake made entirely of sponge
is not possible, as the weight would very likely cause the cake to collapse.
However, modern cake stands allow up to three cakes to be stack one
above the other, giving the illusion of a tiered cake, even if they
are made of a more delicate base.
Shapes & Sizes
The traditional shape of the wedding cake is either round or square.
But, don’t let your imagination stop there. Many shapes are now
available to enhance and give a unique look to your cake. Many bakers
offer oval, hexagon and heart shapes - just to name a few. Square shaped
cakes can be decorated in the style of gift boxes in beautiful designs
with cascading ribbons. A creative baker can create a magnificent castle
or a lighthouse, for a "seaside" wedding. Keep in mind that
a square or round cake can be cut and served more quickly, easily and
will likely serve more guests.
Fancy Flavors
Having trouble choosing a flavor for your cake? Choose a multi-flavored
cake. They come in so many yummy varieties from vanilla to chocolate,
marble, lemon, carrot, spice and even cheesecake. The fillings get even
more tempting with raspberry, coconut, strawberry, lemon, mocha and
white chocolate cream.
