Have you any idea everything there is certainly to know about wedding cakes? The greater informed you are, the better the decisions you can make. We have you covered with our top tips.
Flavour the Cake
- As you may start setting up consultations, find out when each baker's next tasting is planned. At tastings, clients are invited into the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is a fantastic chance to meet bakers and fully understand the range of their abilities.
Decide on a Style
- Cope with the wedding cake after all decisions about dress style and reception design have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the framework and design of your wedding cake. Choose a cake that's compatible with the design of the venue, the season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you'd like colorful accents (such as sweets blooms or icing ribbons), give your baker cloth swatches. The wedding cake should be part of the wedding, not a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers will serve 50 to 100 friends; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. In case the reception is at a grand room with high ceilings, consider increasing the cake's stature with columns between the tiers. (A "stacked" cake is one with its layers stacked straight atop one another, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding cake is charged by the slice -- the cost varies often, but generally runs from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is a very general and loose estimate). The more difficult the cake (predicated on intricate accessories or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the high cost. Fondant icing is more expensive than buttercream, and if you wish elaborate molded figures, lively colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll pay for the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Ways to Save
- Order a small cake that's decorated to excellence but can only just feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same taste to actually nourish the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade sugar flowers, and molded shapes specially. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less expensive) effect. If you'll have a dessert table (or another nice) as well as the cake, look at a cake sized for half your friends. Servings will be smaller, but the payment will shrink too.
Get the Facts on Frosting
- Fondant or buttercream? That's the key question. Buttercream is often much more delicious. But if you value the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant around we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and adding a layer of fondant over the complete confection then.
Consider the elements
- If you're having an outdoor wedding in a hot weather, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summer months icing options; You might want to go for a fondant-covered wedding cake -- it generally does not even have to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Remember, publications (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These interpersonal people spend time mending the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can happen to a wedding cake after it has been sitting for some time. If what they do doesn't work, they can correct it with Photoshop. They also have the luxury of creating cakes from stuff that isn't edible -- most cakes in magazines are iced pieces of Styrofoam, which certainly doesn't taste very good. So don't expect your cake designer to have the ability to replicate exactly what you see on the net
Take Note: It's All in the Details
- When it comes to design, adornment costs run the gamut. The most inexpensive option is fruits or plants that, occasionally, can be applied from your florist for a minor fee. Over the top quality are sensitive gum paste or glucose paste flowers, which are designed by hand, one petal at the same time. But here's underneath line: All add-ons -- including marzipan fruits, chocolate-molded flowers, and lace points -- will raise the rate. (For the record, we think it's worthy of the price!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your cake with fresh blooms, find out if the wedding cake custom made will work with your florist, or if you are accountable for the blooms. If the florist is jogging the show, will she have the perfect time to adorn the wedding cake? Be skeptical of complex floral accents if your reception space design is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The level of popularity of the groom's cake, a Southern custom traditionally, is on the rise. The bride's wedding cake -- the one trim by the few at the reception -- is traditionally eaten as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolates) and nowadays built to show off the groom's passions and obsessions. Give slices to friends as a take-home memento or slice and provide both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers concur that the thought of a mini cake (where each guest gets his / her own) is a great idea -- in theory however, not always used. Not only does each cake require its own decoration (often as elaborate, or even more, than one that's four times its size), each will require its own package. Unfortunately, containers don't come in mini-cake sizes. Often the bakery must construct individual boxes where to transport these cakes. Multiply by however many friends you'll be having, and you'll see what a costly, time-consuming feat this is. That said, if you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and undoubtedly, they taste equally great too).
