There are so many choices when it comes to the wedding cake. Do you want chocolate, strawberry, traditional wedding cake, etc. flavoring? What kind of icing should go on the cake? What about the style of the cake? Should it have two layers or three; or should it be a flat cake? The options are limitless and honestly can be daunting. You might even think, "Why not let my fiancé make those decisions?" You're just going to eat it in the end, and as long as it tastes good, that's all that matters. But, there is one cake that you really do need to care about. That cake is your groom's cake. This is where you get to show a bit of your personality.

Wedding Tip of the Week- Naked Wedding Cake
Looking for a non-traditional cake for your special day? Consider this new trend: a naked wedding
So what is it? The naked wedding cake is essentially a wedding cake without the outer frosting layer. Bakers make these cakes and can basically decorate with ANYTHING, and don’t have to spend lots of time and money on intricate icing details.
We’ve seen cakes decorated with gorgeous delicate flowers, fall harvest themed with apples and fall leaves, fruit that pairs well with type of cake, and even just simple greenery. Our personal favorite is a tall cake, with each tier a different flavored cake and filling. This new take on a traditional wedding cake will wow your guests with this simplistic new trend!
Check back next week with Wedding and Party for more great tips and tricks!

Trending Tuesday – Naked Wedding Cakes
What are we talking about when we say naked wedding cakes? These cakes have icing on the inside but not on the outside. They have exposed crumbs. The theory behind this is it's more natural. Couples normally choose to feature berries on top, rosemary, lavender or succulents. You also have to be careful with your flavors and fillings. Why? It'll basically determine what your cake will look like since cakes and frostings have various colors. Make sure the colors go together. Other than that, have fun with it. Just because it doesn't have frosting or added bling doesn't mean it won't be a show stopper.
Vintage Wedding Style
Inspirational Friday – Wedding Cake Toppers
Today's bride is leaning towards non-traditional in many aspects of her wedding. You can get as unique as you'd like, even down to the smallest detail. One tiny detail that has been changing is the wedding cake topper.
Instead of the classic bride and groom at the top of the wedding cake, brides are changing to a multitude of toppers to make their personality shine through. Some use coral as their topper to complete their beach wedding while others use bride and groom decorated cake pops. Whatever you decide for your topper, let it be a reflection of you and your future spouse to make your cake even more special. Check back with Wedding and Party Network for more wedding ideas and tips.
Wedding Wednesday – Groom's Cake
Your Wedding Wednesday Question
What is a groom's cake and do I have to have one at my wedding?
Answer:
A groom's cake is known as a southern tradition. It is a gift from the bride to her soon-to-be husband and it is supposed to reflect the personality of the groom. It is traditionally displayed next to the wedding cake and it is a different flavor. However, a groom's cake can be used as dessert for the rehearsal dinner or as wedding favors for your guests. The choice to have one is your own, but rest assured it shouldn't be expected.
We hope this answered your question!
