When you are considering a wedding cake, make an appointment to work with your wedding baker for the cake. They will sit down with you and show you a wide range of options including wedding cake designs that they have done on their own. Photos say a thousands words.

Don't forget that your wedding cake also needs a wedding cake topper. These can be anything that works for you but should always be something that is appropriate for your wedding. The bride and the groom figures are traditional and they can work if it's right for you.

Picture the texture and the icing of your wedding cake. Do you want a cake that is decorated with fondant, which is a very thin layer of pastry topping? This gives a very crisp looking finish to the cake when icing can not do as smooth of a look. It's one of the most popular choices today.
