Posted by iWedPlanner LLC on January 13th, 2016

Italian wedding cakes are among the most traditional and timeless options that can grace your reception. They remain popular to this day due to their versatility. An Italian wedding cake can be anything from simple to a lavish multi-tiered and colorful modern masterpiece. This short guide should help you look for the best Italian wedding cake:

• Go online or use a wedding directory app – There are websites and apps for smartphones and tablets that can help you search for bakers and bake shops in your area. Use their directory to narrow down your search.
  
• Find a baker that specializes in it - The right baker should be able to provide the best Italian wedding cake that suits your theme. This professional should be able to give suggestions and help you choose the right type of wedding cake that is popular at Italian weddings.
  
• Know the most popular and traditional cakes served at Italian weddings – Millefoglie means 'a thousand layers' and it is the most traditional Italian wedding cake. It is composed of several super thin sheets of pastry that have the consistency of filo. The layers are interspersed with light cream like mascarpone and chocolate, then topped with berries and dusted powdered sugar. Millefoglie may be the best cake for your occasion if you are looking for a simple and pretty cake.
  
  Alternatively, you may consider the classic tiered Italian white cake, which can be shaped and decorated in a lot of ways. The white icing symbolizes the purity of the bride and her devotion to her husband.
  
• Tall cakes are statement cakes - If you prefer a towering cake, consider the profiterole, which is shaped like a tall, conical tower. This statement cake is made of several small round cream-filled pastries (profiterole) that are coated with chocolate or caramel. Profteroles are cemented together with hot chocolate or caramel along the surface of the cone, which is typically made of durable material like stiff paper.
  
• Try fruity cakes – If you do not like cake, you can consider serving a crostata di frutta or fruit tart. It is a large custard tart with colorful fruits like apples, berries, and kiwi as its toppings. Cakes with fruit are traditionally served at Italian weddings to wish fortune and fertility on the newlyweds.
