Most couples focus primarily on how the cake looks. Our advice? Choose a cake that tastes good, that you'll enjoy eating... and then worry about how beautiful it is. You can have it both ways: this cake was made by the Joshua Wilton House in Harrisonburg, VA for a wedding BlackBird Images photographed - it was delicious and looked gorgeous.
You may not realize it, but many guests won't even see your cake before they try a piece. Even if it's prominently displayed, your guests are busy speaking to you, to family members, to friends... and few will make a point to check out how great your wedding cake looks. You may have spent a tremendous amount of time obsessing over cake choices, but your guests haven't... and most are more interested in talking to the people at your wedding than they are in how beautiful your wedding cake is.
They will, however, almost always eat a piece of your cake. That's why it makes sense to focus on taste first.
In the end it's your wedding - pick a cake you'll enjoy eating and you think looks great and you can't go wrong. In this - and all decisions you make about your wedding - don't worry too much about what your guests may think. You'll enjoy your wedding more if you make choices that make you happy.
