Once a couple decides on a wedding date that's when things start to go a little crazy. Planning the big day is no small task no matter how intimate the event is going to be. There are venues to arrange, legal matters to tend to, flowers to choose, invitations to agonize over and then finally send, food to order, clothes to make, rings to choose, shoes to buy, seating arrangements to organize; the list can seem endless and so are the choices.
And then there is the all-important Wedding Cake. It's one of the most important choices a bride and groom will need to make and with all the amazing styles and flavors on offer it can be a daunting decision. Afterall, they need something that they will enjoy but also that their guests will like. Often the couple will be treated to a sample menu to help them choose the flavor of the cake. But then there's still the design to consider...
Today we've prepared a simple sample menu with a few of the yummiest cakes and cupcakes we could find. All our readers need to do is pick or pass on these sweet treats to get a dream wedding cake design match.
Rate this lacy cake:
Girls who love everything pretty and pink will be instantly smitten with this lacey creation. It's got a vintage feel to it and it's almost too pretty to slice into! Although we are sure it's just as tasty as it is pretty. What kind of rating does this confectionary deserve?

These pretty pastel cupcakes are almost too pretty to bite down on but it probably won't stop us from devouring them, will it? It's clear someone went to a lot of effort to create these magical looking sweet treats so what kind of rating do they deserve?

Cheesecake is great in all flavors but there's just something about a strawberry cheesecake that makes it even more irresistible. Who could say no to a slice of this?
Rate this red velvet slice:
There's a lot more to red velvet cake than most people know. It isn't just extra food coloring that gives it that deep maroon color, it's actually the ingredients that produce that hue. Red velvet cake, this like detectable slice here, is made with cocoa powder, vinegar and buttermilk usually layered with white cream cheese or ermine icing.
Rate this kids party creation:
Kids parties are always an opportunity to get creative but when it comes to themes and designs, especially for all the all-important birthday cake, the choices can seem a little overwhelming. This unique cartoon design includes both a cake and cupcakes, perfect for little hands. What rating does it deserve?
Rate these cupcakes:
If we saw these at a party we'd know that the host really put some thought into the snacks. Of course, we want cupcakes, that goes without saying but who could resist a cupcake with a lovely little piece of chocolate tucked into the icing? Pick or pass on this creation.
Rate this cake:
When it comes to cakes there are many things to consider. Firstly we need to consider a flavor for the cake and then we need to think about the design. It's no good having a cake that tastes amazing but looks all unfinished and wonky. This cake looks like it's hitting both those marks perfectly.
Rate this neapolitan-style cake:
This Neopolitan style reminds us of ice-cream with it's well defined pink, chocolate, and creamy white layers, and the finishes and presentation make this one sweet design. Although Neopolitan cake might not be everyone there's something about this one that just makes us smile. Who could pass on this one?
Rate this smooth chocolate cake?
Did someone say "Death by Chocolate"? Well, we think that if this cake was involved it would be a pretty sweet ending. This rich double-chocolate cake is not intended for those who are concerned about their figures but rather for those who love the sweeter side of life!
Rate these unicorn cupcakes:
These cute little unicorn cupcakes would be a huge hit at any little girls party and there are plenty of big girls who would also love to have them! They're bright and whimsical, full of color and magic and sprinkles - just the way cupcakes should be! Pick or pass on these:

Fresh fruit and cake always go together well, but there's nothing quite like berries and chocolate for a taste sensation. This dripping chocolate cake is topped with mixed berries and looks good enough to start a fight if there is not enough to go around. What rating does this confectionary creation merit?
Rate this carrot cake:
Not everyone is a fan of carrot cake; some people can't get enough of it and others would rather have no cake than a slice of this. Perhaps it's an acquired taste? Think about it, is there a sneakier way to eat veggies than by hiding them in a cake? We don't think so.
Rate this cake:
We can just see this cake making an amazing centerpiece. Here, a simply decorated white icing cake has been topped with liquid chocolate and finished off with strawberries and cream. Someone would need the willpower of a saint to try and turn down a slice of this cake!
Rate this eye-catching cake:
If we just took this cake at face value, it would be impressive enough. Someone has expertly iced this glorious pink creation but that isn't what we would expect to find inside is it? We expected this to be a vanilla cake, but it's actually chocolate cherry!
Rate these intricate cupcakes:
Some people might be wondering whether these little creations are flowers or cupcakes because it's hard to tell. These cupcakes have been expertly iced to look just like real blossoms and they really are an artwork just as much as a sweet treat. But are they too pretty to eat?

This cake makes us of think of grandma's kitchen; with the sweet smell of baking filling the air and bowls waiting to be licked. It's a traditional style ring cake with a simple glazed icing, decorated with cherries. What kind of rating does this creation deserve?
Rate this cake:
Okay, next up on the sample menu is this ring cake creation. This impressive looking cake was drenched with a generous mixture of toffee icing and topped off with mixed nuts and slivers of coconut. Who will pick and who will pass on a slice of this delicious looking cake?
Rate this ombré cake:
Everyone is impressed with a rainbow cake but not everyone has the skill to create one, so they are always attention-grabbing. This pretty pink creation could work perfectly for a girls party or even as a wedding cake. And we can't get enough of those perfect icing roses!

Don't worry, we haven't forgotten the coffee lovers! The next item on our sample menu is just for them. Naked cakes are all the rage right now and this double coffee cake is sure to be a hit at any party. Who could say no to a slice of this?
Rate this marbled cake:
Imagine how surprised someone would be if they cut into this fancy cake and discovered all these colors inside! From the outside, this cake might look plain but as we can see, that couldn't be further from the truth. Just goes to show we can never judge a cake on its icing alone!

Everyone knows that the only thing better than one Oreo is a whole packet of Oreos but we might have found something even better. A cake made with our favorite chocolate treats! And, bonus, they are small enough to grab with one hand, someone could even do two at the same time!
Rate these whoopie cakes:
Soft fluffy marshmallows and sweet strawberries squeezed between two pieces of cake - now that could work! Whoopie cakes can be made on a big scale or crafted into small confectionaries like this. Either way, they are hard to resist and we think most folks will agree with us on this one.
Rate these banana cupcakes:
Baking fruit straight into sweet treats is an easy way to get fussy little eaters to have their five-a-day and it works pretty well on adults too! Not many people would be able to turn down one of these mouth-watering banana and blueberry cupcakes but we suppose they could try!
Rate these berry-surprise cupcakes:
There's only one thing better than biting into a sweet, fresh cupcake and that's discovering that it has a hidden center. Hidden center cupcakes can be filled with icing or chocolate, or even berries, like this one. These delicious treats are sure to be a hit with any crowd.
Rate these cupcakes:
What should we do when we see a tray of cupcakes at the store but we can't quite decide which one to take home? Well, maybe we should just buy the entire tray? Every single one of these creations looks delicious, don't they? Who could say no to one of these?

It doesn't matter whether we enjoy our cappuccino with foam or cream, if there's a cappuccino flavored cupcake available - we want it. Nothing goes better than coffee and cake than cappuccino with a cappuccino cupcake right? We're sure this one tastes every bit as good as it looks.

Rate this caramel and chocolate creation:
Chocoholics might need to hold themselves back as we bring out the next cake on the sample menu. What we have here is a double layer chocolate and coffee cake and yes, those are Oreo cookies in the filling. Never mind a slice, we think we'll just take the whole thing!
