Do you know everything there exists to know about wedding cakes? A lot more educated you are, the better the decisions you shall make. We've got you covered with our top tips.
Tastes the Cake
- When you start setting up visits, find out when each baker's next tasting is planned. At tastings, clients are invited in to the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is an excellent opportunity to meet bakers and fully understand the range of their abilities.
Select a Style
- Deal with the cake after all decisions about dress reception and style interior decoration have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the look and structure of your wedding cake. Select a cake that's appropriate for the design of the venue, the growing season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you'd like vibrant accents (such as sweets blooms or icing ribbons), give your baker fabric swatches. The cake should be part of the wedding, not a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers shall provide 50 to 100 friends; you will likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. In the event the reception is a grand room with high ceilings, consider increasing the cake's stature with columns between the tiers. (A "stacked" wedding cake is one with its layers stacked immediately atop one another, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake is listed by the slice -- the cost varies often, but generally ranges from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is an extremely general and loose estimate). The more difficult the cake (based on intricate decorations or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the high cost. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you would like elaborate molded styles, exciting colors, or handmade sugar-flower detailing, you'll purchase the cake designer's labor.
Find Ways to Save
- Order a small cake that's embellished to perfection but can only just feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same taste to actually give food to the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade sweets flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for a stylish (but less expensive) effect. If you'll have a dessert desk (or another sugary) as well as the cake, consider a cake sized for half your guests. Servings will be smaller, but the cost will shrink too.
Get the known facts on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the key question. Buttercream is much more delightful often. But if you value the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant just as much as we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and then adding a layer of fondant over the whole confection.
Consider the Weather
- If you're having an outdoor wedding in a hot environment, stay away from whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summertime icing options; You might want to go for a fondant-covered cake -- it generally does not even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Remember, periodicals (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These sociable people spend time correcting the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a wedding cake after it's been sitting for a while. And if what they do fails, it can be fixed by them with Photoshop. There is also the luxury of creating cakes from items 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 wedding cake designer to have the ability to replicate just what you see in print
Take Note: It's All in the Details
- When it comes to beautification, adornment costs run the gamut. The most inexpensive option is fresh flowers or fruits that, occasionally, can be employed by your florist for a minimal fee. On the top quality are delicate gum sugar or paste paste blooms, which are constructed by hand, one petal at a 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 worth the cost!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your wedding cake with fresh blooms, find out if the cake artist shall work with your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. In case the florist is operating the show, will she have a chance to adorn the cake? Be skeptical of sophisticated floral accents if your reception space decoration is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The acceptance of the groom's cake, a Southern custom traditionally, is increasing. The bride's cake -- the one slice by the couple at the reception -- is typically consumed as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolates) and nowadays crafted to show from the groom's passions and obsessions. Give pieces to friends as a take-home memento or slice and provide both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers concur that the idea of a mini wedding cake (where each visitor gets his or her own) is a great idea -- theoretically however, not always used. Not only does each cake require its design (often as elaborate, if not more, than one that's four times its size), each will require its own box. Unfortunately, bins don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must construct individual boxes in which to transport these cakes. Multiply by however many guests 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 as great too).
