A wedding just isn't a wedding without the cake--and today's couples have loads of delicious choices at their disposal. Make an impression with a unique cake that's perfect for the two of you. Try these tempting ideas:

Personalized cakes are all the rage this season. Contract a baker who is able to create a shape that's "you": for example, if you are a researcher, have the layers stacked and decorated to look like books; or request a confection that's shaped like the buildings in your favorite travel city.

Patterns are another trend in wedding cakes. Rather than all-white sheet layers, ask for stripes, polka dots, swirls or splashes of "painted-on"-look color.

Don't leave the groom out of the fun: plan on a groom's cake. A golf green or poker table is perfect, or brainstorm your fiance's interests for ideas.
