Decide on your Design
Once you've decided who will be making your cake, turn your attention to design. When considering what you want, keep in mind the decoration of the whole room.

Take some sketches or pictures that inspire you. Together, you should be able to design the cake of your dreams. Simple cakes can look fantastic when done well! You could even opt for a naked cake, which has been growing in popularity. And, don't forget to consider which cake stand you would like, too! The right stand will finish your cake off perfectly.

Choose Your Sponge
The decisions don't end there. You'll also have to consider which type of sponge you want. The wedding cake is traditionally fruitcake, but there's no need to stick to that. Take time to decide what your guests would like. If your cake has many tiers, choose a different sponge for each. Get creative. How does chocolate orange sound? You could go all out and opt for strawberry. That's sure to surprise your guests!
