I have seen all sorts of cakes used for wedding cakes, from multi-tiered heart formed cakes with several smaller hearts on pedestals connected to the main tower by cascading ribbons, and plastic bridges. It had been extremely beautiful. I conjointly understand a couple who met at a hockey game. Their wedding cake was a sheet cake decorated to appear like a hockey arena. Clearly it had been a very informal wedding, and a second wedding for both. A sheet cake will be embellished with class, for an informal wedding. It's your wedding, you can have any quite cake you want.

All of those sorts of things want to be mentioned with the cake designer, well ahead of the large day.
