Shape and Size: Choosing Custom Wedding Cakes

Weddings are seldom memorable and complete without a wedding cake that serves as both eye candy and dessert during the reception. Oftentimes, wedding cakes garner the same attention and scrutiny given to the bride and groom’s attire, so it’s essential for the cakes to be as gorgeous and tasty as possible. Most couples opt to buy custom cakes to ensure a lovely and delicious dessert for everyone, which is only understandable because they wouldn’t want an ordinary cake to commemorate their special day.
However, choosing custom cakes require taking several important factors into account. For example, the shape of the cake needs to be considered because it can either boost or lower its cost to make. Round and square-shaped cakes are common because they are simple. Pillow-shaped or other specialty cakes, on the other hand, require plenty of cutting and effort to achieve their look. “Topsy-turvy” cakes, meanwhile, call for careful balancing. This is achieved by making one side of the cake larger than the other, but also renders it fragile and easy to topple over.

The size of the cake also needs to be considered because it can either be too large or too small for the wedding guests. This is easier to decide upon if the tiers of the cake are used as a guide. Generally speaking, a two-tiered cake is sufficient for 30 people, while three-tiered cake is good for a hundred. Of course, this is assuming that everyone only gets one slice!
