It used to be that you could wait to order your cake until about four months out from your wedding. Now it’s becoming more critical that you book early so you’re not disappointed when the cake companies are full on your wedding date. You also don’t want to settle on something rather than choose your type of cake and icing.
Since you’re having a wedding in Hawaii, you’ll probably be having a tropical type theme with beautiful tropical leis or flowers and exotic decorations. A great idea would be to have a pineapple flavored cake with a complimentary flavored icing; cream cheese icing is great with pineapple. Another great idea for your wedding cake is to use a neutral flavored cake such as vanilla, and go with a rich icing, like cherries and cream.
Cake tastings are usually available if you call in advance. This is a great chance to taste a variety of cakes and icings to better understand what you’re buying for your wedding. Otherwise you may not be happy when your cake isn’t what you expected and it’s already been served to your guests. However, is cake really ever bad?
Do you want a beautiful, elegant, fun, crazy, or some other kind of cake? It would be helpful to know before you start looking about bakeries that might accommodate you. This way you can see, taste, and feel the different cakes with that style and avoid wasting time on cakes you don’t want or need. Find the colors, styles, and shapes that interest you most to match you overall theme.
With tradition to the wind, you can have whatever kind of cake you like best so large or small, sweet or un-sweet, decorated with flowers or just a cake topper, it’s all about you on this day. However, think of how your guests will enjoy the difference in your wedding cake from the last wedding they attended. This will have them talking about your cake for years.
A new thing just coming out is the fake wedding cake. Have your heard about this? It’s a completely fake wedding cake for show and then it’s removed to the preparation area to be cut for your guests. The switch happens behind the doors though and all your guests are served with whatever cake you’ve chosen - sheet cake, home-made cake, etc.
Since you have to have a cake at your wedding; it’s just unacceptable to expect your guests to skip cake; you can always go after the smaller cakes, sheet cakes, home-made cakes (although this can be very stressful for the baker) and ultimately you want your guests to have somethign to talk about. Whatever you decide, make sure you’re happy with it. Getting married in Hawaii should bring the local ambiance into your wedding anyway, but the little additions will make it so much better.
