Have you any idea everything there exists to know about wedding cakes? The more up to date you are, the better the decisions you shall make. We've got you covered with this top tips.
Tastes the Cake
- Since you start setting up sessions, find out when each baker's next tasting is slated. At tastings, clients are asked into the bakery to test exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is a great opportunity to meet bakers and fully understand the range of their abilities.
Select a Style
- Deal with the cake after all decisions about dress style and reception decor have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the look and structure of your wedding cake. Choose a cake that's appropriate for the design of the venue, the season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want brilliant accents (such as sugars blossoms or icing ribbons), give your baker fabric swatches. The wedding cake should participate the wedding, not a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers will provide 50 to 100 guests; you will likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. When the reception is within 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 immediately atop each other, without separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake often is listed by the slice -- the cost varies, but generally runs from $1.50 to $15 per cut (though this is a very general and loose estimate). The more difficult the cake (predicated on intricate decor or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the price tag. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you need elaborate molded patterns, exciting colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll purchase the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Methods 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 flavor to actually feed the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade sugars flowers, and molded shapes specially. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for a stylish (but less expensive) effect. If you'll have a dessert desk (or another lovely) in addition to the cake, look at a cake measured for half your friends. Servings will be smaller, but the charge will reduce too.
Get the Facts on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the main question. Buttercream is much more scrumptious often. But if you value 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 a patio wedding in a hot climate, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summer icing options; You might want to get a fondant-covered wedding cake -- it doesn't even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Remember, journals (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These folks spend hours mending the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a wedding cake after it's been sitting for a while. 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 bits of Styrofoam, which certainly doesn't taste very good. So don't expect your cake designer to be able to replicate exactly what you see on the net
TAKE NOTICE: It's All in the Details
- When it comes to beautification, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fresh blossoms or fruits that, occasionally, can be employed because of your florist for a minor fee. Over the top quality are delicate gum sweets or paste paste blossoms, which are built by hand, one petal at the right time. But here's underneath line: All add-ons -- including marzipan fruits, chocolate-molded flowers, and lace points -- will improve the rate. (For the record, we think it's worthy of the price!)
Encourage Cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your wedding cake with fresh blossoms, find out if the cake custom made will work with your florist, or if you are accountable for the blooms. If the florist is operating the show, will she have period to adorn the wedding cake? Be wary of intricate floral accents if your reception space decor is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The reputation of the groom's cake, a Southern custom traditionally, is on the rise. The bride's cake -- the one lower by the few at the reception -- is customarily consumed as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolate) and nowadays made to show from the groom's passions and obsessions. Give pieces to friends as a take-home memento or minimize and provide both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers agree that the thought of a mini wedding cake (where each guest gets his / her own) is a great idea -- in theory however, not always used. Not only will each cake require its own adornment (often as elaborate, if not more, than one that's four times its size), each will demand its own pack. Unfortunately, bins don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must create individual boxes where to move these cakes. Multiply by however many friends you will be having, and you will see just 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 in the same way great too).
