Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Cake:
Consider the season when choosing your flavor. Lighter flavors, such as lemon or strawberry, are popular choices for spring and summer weddings, while heavier flavors, such as chocolate or carrot cake, are popular choices for fall and winter weddings.
Think about your guests' preferences. If you have a lot of guests with different dietary restrictions, you may want to choose a few different flavors of cake to accommodate everyone.
Don't be afraid to get creative! There are endless possibilities when it comes to wedding cake flavors, so don't be afraid to choose something unique that reflects your personality as a couple.
Choosing the perfect wedding cake is an exciting part of wedding planning. It's a chance to combine your personal style with delicious flavors and beautiful design to create a centerpiece that reflects your special day. Here are some more tips to help you choose the perfect wedding cake:
Consider your style:
Classic: If you prefer a timeless and elegant look, a classic white cake with simple decorations is always a beautiful choice.
Modern: If you have a more modern aesthetic, you can opt for a geometric cake design, metallic accents, or unexpected flavor combinations.
Romantic: For a romantic feel, consider incorporating soft colors, floral decorations, or ruffles into your cake design.
Rustic: A rustic cake can be adorned with natural elements like burlap, twine, or fresh flowers.

Don't forget the size:
The size of your cake will depend on the number of guests you have. A general rule of thumb is to order one serving per guest. However, you may want to order a bit more if you have a large dessert table or if you plan on serving other desserts.
Be mindful of your budget:
Wedding cakes can range in price depending on the size, design, and flavors you choose. Be sure to set a budget for your cake and stick to it.
One option may be to have a small classic wedding cake. You can take pictures with the bride and groom and of the cutting of the cake. Then in the back in the kitchen, the servers can cut up sheet cake to serve/ bring out to the guests on dessert plates. This is a beautiful way to help the couple on a strict budget.
Schedule cake tastings:
Once you have a general idea of what you're looking for, schedule cake tastings with a few different bakeries. This is a great way to sample different flavors and designs and to find a baker that you connect with.
Get creative:
Your wedding cake is a unique expression of your love story. Don't be afraid to get creative and choose a cake that reflects your personality as a couple.
