Wedding Cake Topper
A great way to begin your cake selection is to choose the wedding cake topper first. The cake topper can help determine what the cake will look like and what the proportions will be. A good example of a cake topper influencing the cake is the Reaching Bride/Helpful Groom cake topper and the Climbing Groom/Victorious Bride cake topper. For instance, the height of the top cake layer should be tall enough to accommodate the Reaching Bride or the Climbing Groom. The layer of cake underneath the top layer should be wide enough for the Reaching Bride's dress to fit comfortably. This requires coordination between both sizes of cake layers, but is easy to do if you purchase the cake topper first. For any cake, be prepared to choose a size for each layer approximately ranging from 4 inches to 24 inches. Bakeries usually do not carry every size of cake pan in every orientation such as square, round, or octagon. Many bakeries skip every other size to save on the cost of cake pans. This can be advantageous to you since the size range that bakers choose are usually proportionate.
