Cakes cakes cakes! A slice of velvety cake is coming your way. But a wedding cake is special and ensured to look and taste a certain way. While most Indian weddings might not have a cake at the ceremony itself, the reception these days has a customary cake cutting element.  And wouldn’t you want to ensure the kind of cake you get is the right one? So we made a comprehensive guide that you can look up to while ordering the cake at the wedding of your dreams. 

Cake Flavours

Seemingly, the flavour of the cake makes the most difference. Even if you can swing an expensive pretty looking cake, you can always get a cake flavour that you and your partner find delightful. Everything from the smell, taste, texture and moistness make a big difference. Go with simple flavours like vanilla or chocolate instead of overpowering flavours like butterscotch, strawberry or nut-based. Ensure that the food that is served in the reception pairs well with the cake you want to serve.

Cake Look and Decor

The cake look and decor is essential if the cake at your reception is going to be a central piece. Layered cakes are very common in foreign wedding receptions but they can be costlier and wasteful if fewer guests are attending the function. A lavish single-tier is appropriate in that case. But we would recommend having layers when you have many guests over. In that case, ensure that your baker puts dowels in between the cake layers to maintain stability. 

With layered cakes comes the problem of filling, like we mentioned previously go for simple flavours that don’t compete with the food. To do this step well, definitely taste the cakes before putting them in order. If you are looking for a showstopper cake, we recommend having the cake decorated exquisitely from, the outside with fondant flowers, tiny balls, or even photos of yourself and your spouse. It makes the entire experience
