The wedding cake isn\u2019t just a yummy treat to enjoy at your reception, it\u2019s a big part of The Event \u2013 both on the big day, and even later on (we\u2019ll explain). Birkat Elyon<\/a> has been involved in the wedding business for years, with their beautiful CZ engagement and wedding rings<\/a>, so here are some cake mistakes to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONSIDER THE SEASON<\/strong> Nothing like having a delicious buttercream cake start melting away during a summer wedding. Or find out that the gorgeous flowers you hoped to adorn your cake with aren\u2019t available in the winter. Take the weather into consideration when you\u2019re planning your cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE WRONG SIZE<\/strong> Start with your guest count. A five-tier cake is a little much for 50 people and results in a lot of waste, and a single tier won\u2019t cut it for a large affair, either. Small wedding, small cake; if you\u2019re going bigger, consider one with a couple of tiers and maybe throw in a few small cakes to ensure that everyone gets a taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOO MANY FLAVORS<\/strong> Offering too many flavor options slows things down considerably at serving time. Stick to a maximum of two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AVOIDING COLOR<\/strong> Sure, most wedding cakes are in shades of white. But who says it has to be that way? A cake with pops of color echoing your overall theme is a fun, eye-catching way to celebrate. Consider using a colorful cake topper, piping, or some bright floral touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HIDING THE CAKE<\/strong> Don\u2019t keep your beautiful cake tucked in a corner: show it off! Place it on a table behind the head table of the wedding party, create a backdrop for it, or place an arch of flowers over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FORGETTING TO EAT IT<\/strong> Yes, the reception is hectic, but don\u2019t miss out on savoring this tasty treat (after all, you paid for it). It\u2019s also tradition to freeze the top tier and enjoy a piece on your first wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
