Wedding Cake Tips: Flavors & Fillings

It’s unfortunate that most guests — and brides — assume that while a wedding cake may look beautiful it will not taste good. Over the past few years amazingly talented bakers have been creating wedding cake masterpieces, that not only look gorgeous, but taste delicious too.

So here are some wedding (cake) planning tips that will help ensure that you and your guests are pleasantly surprised at your wedding:

  • Attend wedding shows in your area, so you can taste a variety of cake flavors and fillings from different bakers. This will help you narrow down the choice of bakers you want to schedule formal appointments with.
  • Realize that you can’t please everyone’s taste buds. As long as you, your groom and your parents — siblings, grandparents and best friends can have a say too, but you know what they say about too many cooks in the kitchen — think the cake is delicious don’t worry about every single guest. There is no way you will be able to please the palette of over 100 people. This tip goes for planning the wedding menu too.

  • Find out what the baker is known for. He or she may be famous for their chocolate or carrot cake recipe. It’s important to work with his or her strengths.

  • Once you’ve settled on a cake flavor try the different fillings they offer to find the perfect combination.
