The Frosting
Buttercream cakes typically taste a lot better
than a fondant cake. Fondant cakes are
chosen by couples who want that perfect
cake look that really adds to the overall look
of your wedding. If you’re going for both
amazing taste and beauty, then consider first
frosting the cake with a buttercream frosting
and then add a layer of fondant over the top.
Weather & Location
Your options may be limited based on if
you’re having an indoor or outdoor wedding.
If you’re having your reception in July at a
outdoor wedding venue, then you’ll need
to avoid buttercream or whipped cream
frosting. Nothing is worse than an icky mess
that doesn’t hold up in warmer weather.
Vendor Collaboration
Many couples choose to put fresh flowers
on their wedding cakes. If this is the case,
you need to make sure your florist and cake
decorator are able to communicate. Make
sure you know whether it’s the florist or the
cake decorator that’s going to add these
final touches.
