Weddings are far more than just a ceremony in front of an officiator. Numerous small and beautiful details make a soonlywed couple’s day so unique! Dresses, suits, and other attire are essential elements of a wedding, just as the wedding cake is the sweetest addition to a reception and a special way to personalize the celebration.

A wedding cake represents the couple themselves, reflecting in its flavor, color, and design.  Finding the perfect taste and style for your wedding cake can seem nearly impossible, considering the countless flavors available for the icing, cream, and the cake itself. 

However, you won’t feel overwhelmed for long. Whittling down your flavor choices is about to get a whole lot easier!

Let the Cake Journey Begin

The key to finding the perfect cake is to start small. Ease into the process and keep a few things in mind:

  • PATIENCE: You do not have to decide immediately after your first cake tasting. Don’t feel pressured to find the perfect cake the first time around. Patience is key. Figure out what you and your partner like and, if your preferred tastes are different, find a way to meld them together like mixing-and-matching cake, filling, and icing flavors.
     
  • TRUST: Choose a baker you trust. Your baker should be a genius with flavor, so finding an expert will give you one less thing to fret over as your special day gets closer. 
     
  • CREATIVITY: Finding the perfect cake flavor requires not only patience but creativity too! Cake flavors are diverse, with icings ranging from buttercream, ganache, cream cheese, fondant, and more.

These three steps are the beginning to finding the perfect cake flavor that will fit you and your partner! The taste you choose can be an ideal combination for both of you or a happy medium ready to satisfy your guests’ sweet tooth. 

Remember that not every guest will be a fan of your cake flavor, but that’s okay! Choosing a flavor isn’t supposed to make everyone happy, but rather to celebrate the union between you and your partner as a couple. 

Among all of the large and small details of wedding planning, don’t let the cake flavor fall to the bottom of the list.
