Have you any idea everything you can find to know about wedding cakes? The greater knowledgeable you are, the better the decisions you shall make. We've got you covered with our top tips.
Style the Cake
- Because you start establishing meetings, find out when each baker's next tasting is slated. At tastings, clients are invited into the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet bakers and fully understand the range of their abilities.
Decide on a Style
- Deal with the wedding cake in the end decisions about dress style and reception interior decoration have been made. These elements can provide as a blueprint for the composition and design of your wedding wedding cake. Choose a cake that's appropriate for the design of the venue, the growing season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want colorful accents (such as sweets blossoms or icing ribbons), give your baker textile swatches. The cake should be part of the wedding, not really a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers will serve 50 to 100 guests; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. In case the reception is in a grand room with high ceilings, consider increasing the cake's stature with columns between your tiers. (A "stacked" cake is one using its layers stacked immediately atop each other, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding cake often is priced by the slice -- the cost varies, but generally amounts from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is an extremely basic and loose estimate). The more difficult the wedding cake (based on intricate designs or hard-to-find fillings), the bigger the high cost. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you need elaborate molded styles, lively colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll purchase the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Methods to Save
- Order a little cake that's embellished to efficiency but can only feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same flavour to actually nourish the guests. Stay away from tiers, handmade sweets 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 lovely) as well as the cake, consider a cake sized for half your friends. Servings shall be smaller, but the charge will reduce too.
Receive the known facts on Frosting
- Fondant or buttercream? That's the primary question. Buttercream is much more delightful often. But if you love the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant as much as we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and then adding a layer of fondant over the complete confection.
Consider the Weather
- If you're having an outdoor wedding in a hot environment, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about warmer summer months icing options; You might want to go for a fondant-covered wedding cake -- it generally does not even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Remember, magazines (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These social people spend hours correcting the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can happen to a wedding cake after it has been sitting for some time. And when what they do doesn't work, it could be set by them with Photoshop. There is also the luxury of fabricating cakes from items that isn't edible -- most cakes in magazines are iced bits of Styrofoam, which certainly doesn't taste very good. So don't expect your cake designer to have the ability to replicate just what you see on the net
Take Note: It's All in the facts
- When it comes to decor, adornment costs have huge variations. The most inexpensive option is fresh blossoms or fruits that, in some instances, can be applied by your florist for a minor fee. Within the high end are sensitive gum paste or sugar paste bouquets, which are constructed by hand, one petal at a time. But here's the bottom line: All add-ons -- including marzipan fruits, chocolate-molded flowers, and lace points -- will improve the rate. (For the record, we think it's worth the price!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you wish to garnish your cake with fresh bouquets, find out if the wedding cake artist will continue to work with your florist, or if you are in charge of the blooms. When the florist is running the show, will she have time to adorn the wedding cake? Be skeptical of intricate floral accents if your reception space decor is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The reputation of the groom's wedding cake, traditionally a Southern custom, is increasing. The bride's wedding cake -- the main one trim by the few at the reception -- is usually eaten as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolate) and nowadays constructed to show off of the groom's passions and obsessions. Give pieces to guests as a take-home memento or cut and serve both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers concur that the thought of a mini cake (where each visitor gets his or her own) is a superb idea -- theoretically however, not always used. Not only does each wedding cake require its own decor (often as elaborate, or even more, than one that's four times its size), each will demand its own box. Unfortunately, containers don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must construct individual boxes where to move these cakes. Multiply by however many guests you will be having, and you'll see just what a costly, time-consuming feat this is. That said, when you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and undoubtedly, they taste as great too).
