They offer these great insider tips on what to know about ordering your wedding cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>START WITH A BUDGET<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most wedding cakes are priced \u201cby the slice\u201d \u2013 and this can\nrange from $3 to $30, depending on design, fancy fillings, toppings and more.\nCertain things cost extra, so keep that in mind \u2013 and don\u2019t get carried away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PICK YOUR CAKE AT THE RIGHT TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s smart to choose your cake <em>after<\/em> you\u2019ve made major design decisions, such as your dress, the\nmenu, your flowers. You\u2019ll want the wedding cake to work with all those details\n\u2013 and not drive them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CONSIDER THE WEATHER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re scheduling your ceremony in warmer months, you\u2019ll\nwant to avoid certain kinds of frostings like meringue and buttercream. They\u2019ll\nmelt. Your baker can offer other options that look and taste yummy, but won\u2019t\ntake a beating in the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SPEAKING OF FROSTING\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buttercream is a traditional &#8220;go-to&#8221; choice,\nmainly because it&#8217;s so creamy and delicious.&nbsp;\nFondant offers a smooth, elegant look.&nbsp;\nAnd yes, you can combine both. One smart tip? Consider the <em>color scheme <\/em>of your frosting and make\nsure that it complements your dinnerware \u2013 and that it\u2019s appetizing to look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FACTOR IN EXTRA DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone wants to \u201cdress up\u201d their wedding cake.&nbsp; Fresh fruits and flowers are the least\nexpensive touches, handmade chocolate flowers or sugar-paste doo-dads will add\nup quickly. Include some room in your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHAT DO YOU WANT ON TOP? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some brides opt for an heirloom piece to top their wedding\ncake (in which case, you\u2019ll want to work with the baker to display it just\nright). Other cakes may dazzle with a seasonal motif made from icing\u2013 or maybe\nnothing at all.&nbsp; A \u201ctopper\u201d is not\nmandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HAVE A DELIVERY PLAN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure that your cake gets to the venue ready to dazzle.\nThis may require a refrigerated van \u2013 and\/or refrigeration at the venue. And\nsome cakes may need to be &#8220;put together&#8221; on-site, so allow extra time\nfor that to take place.&nbsp; Discuss all\nthese details with the baker before signing a contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So get ready to indulge in one of the most delicious moments of your wedding day.
