Sweet Dreams! - Tips on selecting the right wedding cake for you.

Keep Cake, Keepsake - It is a longstanding tradition for newlyweds to enjoy a piece of their wedding cake for their first anniversary.  Though the tradition began when fruitcakes were still the standard fare, with the right preparation you can feel free to partake of your anniversary cake.   Here is one vendor  that offers a special box to make your cake a keepsake. Or, you can do it yourself with these easy to follow instructions.

Going Topless? – To top or not to top, that is the question.  Topless cakes are the latest trend to hop on the desert cart.  As part of the minimalist aesthetic, many couples are opting for flowers that accent the sides or base of the wedding cake instead of a bouquet at the top.  Alternative toppers include a keepsake monogram or a personal item that reflects a sentiment of the couple.  If you plan to go retro, you can find traditional bride and groom cake toppers here and vintage cake toppers here.  Uniquely themed, humorous and multi-racial cake toppers are available on this site.
