In a wedding everyone has a role -the starring actor, supporting actor, and extras. Well if you are not certain, the bride is the star of the wedding. I know that there were a lot of people involved in making this happen but remember we stand in awe waiting for her to come down the aisle. The bride will take the Oscar home everytime. Or she can take home Jim, Tom, William, etc... (lol).

Do you know who is next in line? It takes the supporting actor honor. That is right, it is the cake. I know you were expecting the groom but he comes in third. The cake is the centerpiece of what a wedding represents. Todays couples are looking for very authentic looking cakes. They want it to fit their personality, decor, or just be a showstopper. It sits at its own table with layer on top of layer. A lot of wedding cakes are very ornate on the outside as well as on the inside. There is a huge selection in flavors, decor, icing, etc...

I have some advice to make your supporting actor shine without breaking the budget. Be careful selecting fondant. Since it is hand rolled and layered on the cake it can be real expensive. Anything that is labor intensive will cost you money. Think of maybe a 3 layer cake instead of a 4 layer. Always know you can get a sheet cake to cover your number of guests. The other option is keep the icing to a buttercream and make it decorative with flowers and a great cake topper.

Know the pecking order of the individuals in this wedding in order for it to be an Oscar winning night.
