When you pick the size of you cake think about how many people you are expecting to have. You don’t want to get a huge cake and then end up throwing most of it away. After you decide the size of the cake itself you can then decide the size of tiers you want it to have.

Picking a shape of your cake is next. You can pick from the popular shapes like rounds, square and heart shaped or you can work with your baker to create something unique. Most cake bakers are able to crate the shape that you want to have so that it fits your theme and desire.

Picking the flavor or flavors of the cake is always fun because you get to do a tasting as well. Some of the popular flavors are chocolate, white, lemon, and carrot. However there are so many flavors that you can pick from. Maybe if you have a color theme of red you could do a red velvet. If you seem to be stuck between a few different flavors consider doing a different flavor for each tier. For more flavor in each bite think about adding filling in each layer.

Some things that you might want to take into consideration when picking your cake is the smaller details like adding any designs or special features to the cake for example flowers, ribbon or pearls. Keep in mind too the type of frosting of your cake because some don’t save as long.
