Shape - Cakes are available in many shapes but tiered- circles, rectangles and squares are very popular. If you wish, you can also ask the baker if he can bake it in the shape of flowers or hearts.

Construction - Although, a tiered wedding cake is very popular, you can also have other constructions like a single layer individual cake. Another popular idea is to have a single-layer cake and have small cupcakes around it that can be served to the guests. The tiered cake is preferred because the baker is able to bring together all the elements of the cake and make a good presentation.

Flavors - This is an aspect of the cake that must include the choices of the guests and the bride and groom. It is better to have many flavors, as when there are too many guests, it would not be possible to know individual choices. Popular flavors for wedding cakes are the white cake and the chocolate cake.

Fillings - The fillings can be the same as the flavor or can be different. One idea for the filling would be to have mousse that is extremely popular. It has a thick creamy consistency that can be combined with any flavor. Another filling that is delicious and fun is the jelly filling. It can also be in many flavors.

Icing - The icing is the most important part of the cake. It has to be smooth, look good and taste delicious. Buttercream is the traditional icing and it is quite popular. Fondant is another popular icing that has a bland taste but a better look and finish than buttercream.

Decorations - Decorations include whatever the bride and groom prefer. It can be silk or icing flowers, or stripes and ribbons et al. Some cakes have a decoration made of fresh and seasonal fruits. It depends upon your taste and what you would like.
