A wedding is one of the most important things that happen in a person’s life. Of course you want everything to be perfect and lovely. The cake is a very important part of the wedding, and if you’re planning a Hawaiian wedding, there are many great places to get your cake in Hawaii.
Since cake vendors can only do so many weddings in a day, with all the delivery, setup and driving in traffic, you want to be sure that you schedule with your baker early so you can get exactly what you want. Pick your favorite cake with the best icing and make sure it will be at your wedding where you want it.
Since you’re having a wedding in Hawaii, you’ll probably be having a tropical type theme with beautiful tropical leis or flowers and exotic decorations. A great idea would be to have a pineapple flavored cake with a complimentary flavored icing; cream cheese icing is great with pineapple. Another great idea for your wedding cake is to use a neutral flavored cake such as vanilla, and go with a rich icing, like cherries and cream.
Cake tastings are usually available if you call in advance. This is a great chance to taste a variety of cakes and icings to better understand what you’re buying for your wedding. Otherwise you may not be happy when your cake isn’t what you expected and it’s already been served to your guests. However, is cake really ever bad?
There are so mnay style of wedding cakes now, with squares, circles, small cakes, big cakes, etc. You can even have fully customized cakes make to look like anything you desire. They cost more, but they’re really cool. Think about the flowers, cake toppers, and other decor that could dress up your cake as well. There are just so many ways to make it uniquely your own.
Other ways to make your cake the centerpiece is to make smaller cakes for each of the tables and everyone can choose their favorite to eat from. You could provide several flavors, styles, colors, etc. and everyone would be talking about it.
If you’re having a large wedding, or if you can’t find a baker for your date, there’s always another option in the making of a show cake and a real cake. This way your guests will be enamored by the beauty of this cake for show out on your table but they can eat a regular cake (that still tastes great) but maybe doesn’t cost as much. This is especially helpful for large parties over 250 guests.
Since you have to have a cake at your wedding; it’s just unacceptable to expect your guests to skip cake; you can always go after the smaller cakes, sheet cakes, home-made cakes (although this can be very stressful for the baker) and ultimately you want your guests to have somethign to talk about. Whatever you decide, make sure you’re happy with it. Getting married in Hawaii should bring the local ambiance into your wedding anyway, but the little additions will make it so much better.
