Whether your taste runs toward the traditional or the modern, the style of your wedding cake is only as limited as your imagination and the mood you want to create at your wedding reception. If you want a teetering tower of layer cakes bursting with gum-paste flowers on every surface, tell your cake designer and discuss how to make your dream a reality. If you’ve always envisioned a three-tiered white-frosted cake with a traditional topper, then that is what you should have! But if a rich chocolate layer cake with chocolate butter-cream frosting bedecked in deep red roses reflects your passion, then don’t hesitate to put that on display for all your guests to marvel at.

There are a few decisions, however, that are best made before you choose what kind of wedding cake you will have. Determine the date, location, and number of guests attending your wedding before you begin to fantasize about the cake of your dreams. Once you have made these decisions, your wedding will begin to have a specific feeling, mood, or theme, which should be echoed in the style of your cake. The season of your wedding, the size of the cake needed, and the accessibility of the wedding site can also influence your choice of flavors, ingredients, and decoration. Once you have confirmed the logistical details, you can begin to talk to a baker and seek out inspiration for a cake that is uniquely yours.
