The Wedding Diaries: The Cake

The wedding cake is one of the most significant pieces of a wedding. The wedding cake symbolizes love, good luck, and the new couples union. It has now become a main attraction of the wedding, the largest centerpiece of the venue. No matter how many guests you plan on having, we all plan to have an 'extravagant' wedding cake. Nowadays, desert tables have also become very popular. They showcase a large or smaller cake, alongside a variety of tiny deserts for everyone to enjoy.

After doing many tastings and researching, I narrowed my results to Ruben's Cake located in Glendale, CA. Ruben's Cake is popular amongst us Armenians, but he caters to all events. Ruben is an absolute pleasure to work with. He listens to exactly what you like and does a live sketch of what your cake will look like. Also, depending on how many tiers you will have, you can choose a variety of flavors per tier. I HIGHLY recommend his Ruben's specialty flavor, it is amazing!

Matching the cake design to your wedding theme is crucial. It is the final accessory that completes the whole vision. It is also one of the only pieces that remain untouched and perfect until the end of the night. When the night is close to an end and you are ready to cut the cake, everyone watching the cake cutting is reminded of the beautiful night. Since my theme was an all white wedding with a hint of blush, I had my cake made in all white with pearl fondant. The details of the cake were all fondant flowers to give it a whimsical theme, as well as floral details that replicated the details on my wedding dress.
