Personalize Your Wedding Cake

Wedding cake can be pretty boring, though it doesn't have to be! Even though you may look through dozens of baker's catalogs full of tiered white cakes with plain white icing, there's no reason your cake has to be blah. A good baker or cake designer can whip up icing in any color in the rainbow, create statuary from spun sugar, and create wedding cakes that look like the finest architecture. Being a DJ means I see plenty of wedding cakes, so trust me when I say that your wedding cake can be nothing short of gorgeous!

Here are four ways to personalize and beautify your wedding cake:

• If everything else in your wedding will adhere to a particular color scheme, get your cake in on the action. Decorate or embellish your cake according to your wedding colors or theme. If your color scheme will be rose pink, you ccan cover your cake with romantic pink rosebuds, either real or made of icing.

• For a special touch, talk to your baker about incorporating some of the detailing on your wedding gown into the decorations on your wedding cake. If you take a picture of your dress to your cake designer, he or she should be able to copy some of the lace, beading or other decorations from your dress onto your wedding cake.

• Get sentimental! Copy the wedding cake topper your grandparents or parents used at their wedding, or find a cake topper that is as similar as possible. FYI: If you want to make your parents feel extra special, serve them the first slices of cake you cut yourself, before it is taken to the kitchen to be cut by the caterers and served to your guests.

• Get really personal by having your and the spouse-to-be's initials intertwined in icing on your cake. This type of decoration is even more striking when your wedding cake is otherwise fairly plain.

Then again, if you've been dreaming of a pretty white wedding cake since you were a little girl, don't think you need to spring for some multi-colored monstrosity. Trust me when I say that a well-made plain wedding cake will taste just as delicious as an embellished wedding cake!
