Your wedding cake is one of many focal points of your wedding reception. Once you cut the cake, it indicates that the meal portion of your celebration is over and it’s time to party.
When deciding on your wedding cake, make arrangements to see the baker’s portfolio of wedding cakes. If you don’t like his or her style, move on.

Brainstorm styles and designs with the baker. Each cake should be custom-made.
