Choosing the perfect wedding cake for your celebration

There is great news for brides everywhere. You are no longer limited to a wedding cake constructed of dry, white cake with tasteless white icing. As with everything else, variety is the buzzword when it comes to baking wedding cakes and the days of beautiful cakes that looked much better than they tasted are over.

The new trends in wedding cakes allow brides to have a cake that not only looks good -- but tastes good too. Brides don’t need to settle for the traditional white vanilla cake with the plastic bride and groom on top any more. From fruit cake to cheesecake, icing to ice-cream, there are many decisions to make when it comes to choosing a wedding cake to suit you, your fiancé and your guests.

Icings are now available in many different forms and flavors. Butter cream and cream cheese icings are also being seen on wedding cakes, and you are not limited to a snow white icing either. True butter cream and cream cheese icings are off white and you can also choose to have your icing tinted to a rainbow of colors or have a true white icing.

Take a glance at the following tips to devise the delicious wedding cake you deserve.
