A White Cake

Tip of the Day: Throwing a summer wedding? Some cake coverings — like buttercream frosting and fresh whipped cream — might not hold up to the heat. In that case, opt for fondant, which is sturdier.

Also, "Don’t display your cake in direct sunlight,” says Amy Nichols from Amy Nichols Special Events. “Have it in a cool, shaded area if you have to have it outside, and put it out right before guests arrive. Definitely let your baker know if you’re planning an outdoor reception."
