After you have selected your wedding date, one of the first things that you must decide on is your wedding cake.

You must decide on a style, filling choice, layers and how you want your cake displayed. If you do not already know then the best way to start is to look through magazines and cut out pictures to start to piece together the cake that appeals to your eye. It is fine if you find yourself liking several different cakes, this is where your baker will step in to help design you your perfect cake.

Cake decorators and bakeries book up quickly and reserving your date with them as soon as possible to make sure you get the baker of your choice. Contact several bakeries and first check availability for your wedding date. If a baker is available, ask to set up a time to go to meet with them. Most bakeries will give you samples to taste of cake and different fillings and frosting so be sure to grab a free consultations and tasting experience.

Take pictures that you have compiled with you to the baker so they can get an idea of your style and help with the decision. During your consultation, do not be afraid to ask questions. Your cake is a very important aspect of the wedding so do put a lot of time and thought into this decision.
