One of the biggest decisions which has to be made when preparing a wedding is the type of wedding cake which is going to be the center of attention of the entire room. Plenty of weddings actually are planned with the cake’s design being one of the most important elements, so knowing the different types of wedding cakes that you can pick from is important. Below are some of the different wedding cake types which are available.
White Cake
The white cake is the traditional choice, always a favorite for many and it can be enhanced with the help of extra fillings placed between layers, like apricot or raspberry buttercream.
Chocolate Cake
The chocolate cake is once again a favorite of many and more and more weddings these days serve chocolate cake, either masked with white frosting or frosted in chocolate. A lot of groom cakes are made out of chocolate actually.
Marble Cake
The marble cake can be a very good choice if you can’t decide between the chocolate cake and the white cake.
Lemon Cake
This type of cake can be refreshing and tart, ideal for a wedding which takes place during the summer. Usually women prefer this type of cake more than men do, so both the groom and the bride should agree on picking this type of cake.
Carrot Cake
The carrot cake can be a very good choice if the wedding takes place during autumn. The cream cheese frosting however will be cream colored, not the pure white that many want.
Buttercream Frosting Cake
This type of frosting is extremely popular and it can be both rich and light. You do need to refrigerate this cake, so outdoor weddings should avoid them.
Fondant Cake
Cakes with this type of frosting are usually more elaborate and they can withstand the heat better.
