Taste: Even if your cake looks good that doesn't mean it will taste good! Don’t spoil the show by serving a nasty tasting cake. Make sure to try samples from your baker before placing your order. You can even tell him/her that you want to taste the exact cake they will be making for you before the wedding day.
Flavor: Oh there are so many types of flavor to choose from. For your wedding it is advised to stick with the most common. If you go too unique on this you will end up eating your cake alone. And no one wants that So stick with flavors like vanilla, strawberry etc. You can even do multi layered cake that way people can have variety of flavor. But please don’t do kiwi flavor, etc You may love it but others may not.
Color: A book is judged by its cover and so will your cake. Don’t mix colors that don’t match and end up making people think you are color blind. Pick one major color and then for decorations pick colors that are on the same side of the color wheel.
Icing: Fondant versus butter cream? Butter cream tastes good but fondant looks better! I can’t help you here Decide what you want the look or the taste!# of layers: Simple is elegant. If you want to make a statement go simple and elegant. Too tall and you give your baker an headache.
