Mother of the Bride, has your daughter started her search for the wedding cake of her dreams yet? Taste testing is always a highlight of wedding planning, but sometimes deciding on a design can be difficult. There are so many great ideas out there.

If your bride-to-be is having trouble deciding on what style she likes best, maybe you could suggest a cake that combines several different elements. The cake pictured above is a great example of this. Just look at all its features—flowers, scrollwork, monograms, various colors and textures, ruffles, and a bow as well as a brooch. With five layers to play with, this designer could include a little bit of everything the bride desired!

Why not share this post with your sweet girl, MOB? It might be just the inspiration she needs to make her final selection. Then you can move on to the real fun—taste-testing!
