Wedding cakes tend to run the gamut from a DIY cake made by mom to a ridiculously large life-size portrait of the bride. Although no two brides can agree on what the best wedding cake would be – everyone knows it’s an important part of the ceremony.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when while you’re ordering
Cakes Need to Be Transported:
Unless you’re a character on either Bewitched or Charmed, odds are you can’t make objects appear and reappear without having someone lift and move them. Make sure you run through the transportation with your baker to make sure everyone’s on the same page about boxing, packing materials, and reception directions. Professionals are usually really good about making this process work flawlessly. However, if your new mother-in-law decides to make the cake herself you should ask her to make it slightly smaller and designate at least 2 friends to help her with the transportation…the last thing you need is to arrive at the reception hall with a cake covered m-i-l. Not good, not good at all…
When Elaborate Goes Awry:
I have no words...
Please heed this warning: when it comes to wedding cakes STAY SIMPLE. Unless you’ve got boatloads of money on the best baker in your state – keep it simple. Complex cakes can sometimes go awry and totally put a damper on your special day. For example take the cake to the left. The idea was beautiful: dolphins playing on a cake. But the execution leaves a little something to be desired. Instead of being playful and happy, it looks like there’s been a massacre in Flippers family and everyone was invited to witness the aftermath.
Your cake should be something you both really love: tasty, elegant, and beautiful. Don’t fuss, or freak out over it, or feel the need to go overboard. Sometimes a simple cake tastes the best and looks the prettiest.
Remember Your Guests:
You might want to have this elaborate cake but remember, your guests just want something delicious. It is possible to have both but keep in mind, it takes a very talented baker to do this. This might be obvious to some but do a tasting at the bakers with your future hubs. If they serve other baked goods, buy a few. Get one of their little cakes to bring to your mothers or his mothers or someones mothers. It’ll give you a good idea about the bakers normal level of product deliciousness (is that a real phrase? I don’t think so)

Do you have a hard time going to sleep lately? Having an even harder time waking up? I know how you feel, you have so much on your mind right now that sometimes you need a little extra help getting in and out of Dreamworld. Well the team at Phillips Electronics has created your perfect drug-free helper: the Wake-Up Light. According to the research team at Phillips, people feel more energetic when they wakeup with the sun so the Wake-Up Light simulates a sunrise when you have to get up before the sun actually rises (a.k.a. during winter). You start by setting the alarm clock 30 minutes earlier than you normally do and then the 
weeks of wedding prep, the hall needs you to sign things, your mother needs your opinion on your hairdo, your fiancé wants to discuss last minute honeymoon plans, and your mother-in-law is still trying to convince you to invite her half sister in Texas. Do yourself a favor, go for a walk by yourself and then make your way over to the nearest salon for a massage. It’ll help to clear your head. Important Note: make sure you’ve been to the salon before and know what kind of massages they give. Having bruises all over your body 2 days before being in a bridal party is no fun. Believe me.
