There are many professional confectioners who bake cakes as per the order and details you give them i.e. your wedding cake is totally customized to suit your taste.

First of all, it is important to fix a certain budget for your wedding cake and start finding options that would make your cake look unique.

You would have to decide on whether you want a tiered cake or a simple one. You have one more option to present a personalized cup cake to each guest. This is a preferred option nowadays especially if you are not very traditional.

You can order a small cake only for a small celebration within both the immediate families and you can order cup cakes of 2-3 different flavors for all the guests. You can decorate the cupcakes with your own style. There are lots of edible flowers and other decoration pieces available with confectioners. In fact, ordering nicely decorated cupcakes for guests is a much cost effective option than ordering a huge 3 or 4 tier cake. Also, the portion served in a cup cake is much more for each guest than the cut slice of a tiered cake.

You can decorate the cake with other edible items like bows, ribbons, floral designs, pearls, etc. The shape of the cake could be a normal square, circle, hexagon or a heart shape. You can customize it to any other shape of your choice if you are unconventional.

One more option is a cake cookie. You can order cake cookies for your wedding receptions. They can be decorated beautifully with colors of your choice in fresh cream.

You can bake a simple wedding cakeat home. You need not always have a 3 tier cake. It is alright to have one big square shaped or circular cake. You can tell your mother or granny to bake your favorite cake for your wedding.

Remember, a perfect wedding cake is quite a relative term as it depends on an individual’s choice. So ideally, a wedding cake of your choice of flavors, colors and decoration would be a perfect wedding cake for you and not for someone else.

While ordering your perfect wedding cake, make sure that you know the confectioner or have some reference about the quality of the cake and if they can make a cake of your choice. It is possible to get the perfect cake in your planned budget.
