After choosing your venue you can start looking for the perfect wedding cake for you. Questions your baker should ask you is wedding date, whether it's an indoor or outdoor wedding and head count. The baker will then suggest some icing or fondant relevant to your venue.
Word of mouth is the preferred way for many brides to find a baker, but attending bridal shows is another route.
"The cake's design should match the aesthetic of the day. A formal wedding generally calls for a structured, multi-tier cake; it can be elaborately or simply decorated, so long as its style implies something ceremonial and grand. These cakes are often round, but square or even hexagonal shapes are more unexpected -- and the tiers can be stacked for a solid look or set on pillars for an airy grace. White is the classic color for a wedding cake, but chocolate and tinted frostings can be just as elegant. For a less formal wedding, you can certainly embrace the unconventional. The cake can be iced playfully with swirls of meringue or strewn with flower petals that fall where they may. Or you can forgo a single cake altogether and opt for a trio of smaller cakes or even cupcakes, doughnuts, or pastries displayed on tiered cake stands for an impressive effect." - Martha Stewart
Lastly, arrange for a cake tasting before the cake is ordered. If the cake has multiple flavors, taste all of them. Basic flavors like chocolate, strawberry and vanilla will vary depending on how the cake is made, its formulation, its frosting and more. Don't assume — taste!
Priority one should be the date of your wedding, priority 2 is the venue but don't let the cake be the lowest on your priority list.
Good luck!
