Selecting your wedding cake is nearly as important as choosing your gown. You will want it to be representative of your romance and the theme of your wedding. The traditional wedding cake is three tiered and round in shape, but that is beginning to change.

Stacked wedding cakes are gaining in popularity because they are available in different shapes, and more color is showing up in the traditional wedding cake, including fresh flowers. If the bakery you choose does not have the perfect wedding cake for you, look through magazines to find a picture of what you are looking for and take it to them. They will likely create the masterpiece you are expecting.

When choosing a bakery for your wedding cake, take some time to shop around. Ask them if you can sample their cakes and icing, and if they would be willing to create a different style than what they have available. You will want a bakery that is willing to deliver your wedding cake and set it up. Ensure that you know the charge for this service ahead of time.

Try incorporating your wedding colors and theme into your cake. A wedding cake fountain with floating artificial flowers can provide a magical touch. Ask your pastry chef about ideas that will fit in well with your wedding theme, an experienced one will likely have many to offer. The wedding cake should add that special touch to your wedding day, so choose carefully the wedding cake design that reflects you and your wedding day.
