Ed and I spent last weeking stuffing ourselves with wedding cake. Swiss buttercream, rolled buttercream, vanilla, chocolate, raspberry — you get the point.

Anyway, we’ve finally decided on a cake place — Edible Delights Cakes. The cake is good and they’ll give us a whimsical cakes. And (always important) we kept the price down. A couple of interesting tips if you’re ever in the market for a wedding cake:

- Order a small wedding cake. The rest of your guests can be fed with a "kitchen cake," a large sheet cake that can be made for much less than a wedding cake.

- If you’re getting married in a city, check outlying areas. Sometimes, city bakers are more expensive.

- Don’t get fooled by "free" delivery. For example, our cake will come from Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The delivery charge will be $25 and the cake will be $425. The Portland bakeries offered free delivery but charged $650 for a cake.

- You get as much free cake as you can stand — Eat up!
