Picking Out A Wedding Cake Topper
January 31, 2010
Do you want to turn your wedding cake into an eye-popping celebratory confection? Usually, wedding cakes are an integral element of the wedding reception’s unique décor. It may be the head table’s centerpiece. Wherever the cake is, it will definitely play a central role and communicate design focus for your wedding.
Thus, it is reasonable to make an effort at procuring an unforgettable cake topper. Humorous wedding cake toppers can be amazing conversation starters for all those shy guests at the wedding reception. Often, wedding receptions force long-lost (possibly deliberately lost) friends, distant family and lots of other people in your life to mingle socially, and it may be hard for them to enjoy themselves.
Obviously, many of these guests do not communicate regularly if at all, and the conversation can be stale or simply non-existent. Why not use a funny wedding cake topper to get the juices flowing and break the ice?
Where To Find Funny Wedding Cake Toppers
There are multitudes of cake toppers to pick from and probably just as many places to buy them. If you can, a quick and easy method is to purchase one from the baker who created your cake. Be careful, though—their selection might be less than extensive. Don’t settle for something that is not what you want. If the baker is a bust, try online. You can browse websites devoted to unique wedding decorations or try your luck on eBay. Some online companies now even design custom wedding cake toppers according to your specifications.
Have Some Fun With Beach Wedding Cakes
December 31, 2009
With nary a backwards glance, couples today are saying “No thanks” to the stiff formality and societal rules which governed weddings for the last 100 years! Couples are being married while underwater, while bungee jumping, while skiing…and yes, while wandering barefoot along a beach, with warm sand, sun and water forming the perfect backdrop for a unique and romantic wedding.
The wedding cake should reflect the theme of your nuptuals; in this case adventurous and untraditional. While our own imagination is the only limit to what can be done with a beach themed cake, there are some decisions that will have to be made early in the process. The first thing to consider is your budget and how many guests will be served. Professionally made cakes range in price from $2.00 to $15.00 and typically weigh just two ounces.

Unique Wedding Cakes – Use Your Imagination
October 13, 2009
After the ceremony and the food and the dancing, there comes–the cake! But how many people really get excited over the traditional tiered bridal cake with yellow cake and white or ivory icing? There are ways to stir interest and create memories if you let your imagination have free range and are not stuck to one idea of what a wedding cake must be.
If you’re putting your personal stamp on the rest of the wedding items, why not continue as you dream the perfect sweet creation to cap the event? It’s a relatively simple way to add a fairy tale stamp to your perfect day. We think of the traditional cake as one with tiers layered one on top of the other, either directly or supported by columns. But you don’t have to have a tiered cake.
You can have a cake in the shape of something meaningful to you–the place where you met or a symbol of the honeymoon destination, for instance. You can have tiers that aren’t traditionally assembled but that seem to float or balance in mid-air. Icing can be dark or light, and you can use fresh flowers or trinkets or whatever decorations create interest and maybe even contrast.
Wedding Cake Prices – What Are The Costs?
October 9, 2009
The wedding cake is an essential element of any “successful” wedding. It can also be one of the most expensive. However, wedding cake prices can be managed based on a number of factors. First, the wedding planner should understand that wedding cakes are not priced at a single “cake” price, but rather by the number of slices needed.
The more slices needed, the more expensive the cake. Second, the quality of the cake itself adds to the per slice cost. The more tiers on the cake, the better quality the icing, the more artistic and elaborate the decorations, the more expensive the cake will be. A simple, no-frills wedding cake should run $1 to $2 per slice. It will have few decorations, cheap icing, and a basic design.
For 100 guests, that’s a $100 to $200 cake. The next step up, including multiple tiers (2 to 3), better icing, and a more complex design, runs $4 to $7 a slice. For larger wedding parties, of 500 or more, at $5 per slice, the total cost is a minimum of $2500! A complicated, multi-tiered cake, using a high-quality icing that doesn’t bleed and a high-end custom design, can run $8 to $12 PER SLICE!
