A beautiful wedding cake may be a must for many couples on their big day.
As a result they might want to follow the advice of one news provider, which has highlighted the importance of choosing the dessert well in advance.
The Press and Journal advises that because tiered cakes often need to be made and iced in different stages, couples should make their choice between four and fives months in advance.
Similarly, they should plan how they are going to get it to the wedding venue and whether it needs to be assembled on arrival.
"If you are planning to serve your cake as dessert, the cake will need to be cut before the meal is served to enable it to be divided into portions in time for pudding," the publication continues.
In related news, the Charlotte Observer recently made some alternative suggestions to a traditional wedding cake, stating that cupcakes, pie buffets and pound cakes served with strawberries and cream can be just as delicious.
