WEDDING CAKE

Everything about your wedding should be unique, including your cake. Did you know that a bakery in England created one of the world's most expensive wedding cakes, valued at $52 million? The eight-tiered wedding cake featured more than 4,000 diamonds.

$52 million might not be the price tag you are looking for in your budget. Based on a recent survey by WeddingWire, couples spent an average of $500 on their wedding cake. Before you order a cake from the baker/decorator of your choice, it is your job to find a wedding cake that is both beautiful and delicious. Most wedding bakeries have a wide variety of flavor and filling options, and they are usually happy to adapt any of their designs to reflect your vision. 

Cake tasting is the best part of the wedding cake planning! You get to try the cakes and decide on which flavors and design you want for your dream wedding cake. If you have any thoughts or requirements such as a color theme, wedding invitations, etc. bring them along with you! The more ideas - the better! 

But do not go to your cake tasting on an empty stomach! Not only will an empty stomach obscure your palate, but you may also leave feeling light-headed from a sugar high. Book your cake tasting about six months before your wedding, and don't forget to ask the baker the decorations cost for you and be sure to ask for a price breakdown.
