Your wedding cake is the focus in your wedding.
As a result you should try your best to get the most beautiful cake.
It is very true that the style of your cake will be very important if you are planning to get a unique and special cake.
However, there are also a lot of practical issues you will need to consider when you are choosing the cake.
The first think you need to think about is of course your budget.
You can do nothing without a budget.
You will need to have a rough idea on how much you are going to spend per head for your wedding cake.
In fact, you may need to do some homework before you can get your budget.
You may need to visit some cake shop and ask on some online wedding forum before you can set your budget.
This is because you will need to set a realistic budget.
Then you will consider the size of the cake.
This will be related to the number of guests you are going to invite.
For the same cake, it may be enough for 50 guests if each one of them are going to get a larger piece of cake.
And at the same time it may also be enough for 100 guests if you are going to serve them smaller pieces.
It is quite tricky right? In fact, you will need to consider the size of the cake as well as the size of each piece which will be served.
When the shape and style of the cake is concerned.
You can have a lot of different choices.
For example, you can have heart shape, square shape and so on.
There are also a lot of choices if you would like to make some funny shapes.
For instance, I have seen a wedding cake which is in the shape of two portable computers.
In fact, you can discuss with your baker on the different shapes of the cake.
There is always an option of tailor made cake.
The decorations on the cake is also very important.
Of course the baker may charge you if you need to have some handmade decorations on the cake.
As a matter of fact, some couples will choose to use fresh floral petals to decorate the cake.
You need need to ask your florist to work with your baker in this case.
In this case, you will also need to make sure that the petals are really edible since otherwise you will need to take away the petals before serving the cake to your guests.
The cake topper can totally change the impression of the cake to your guests.
You have plenty of choice for the cake topper.
The most traditional one will be a topper in the shape of a bride and a groom.
Of course there are also a lot of modern design available.
Again, if you would like to get something funny, there will certainly be some choices.
