Have you any idea everything there is to know about wedding cakes? A lot more prepared you are, the better the decisions you will make. We've got you covered with this top tips.
Flavour the Cake
- As you start setting up visits, find out when each baker's next tasting is scheduled. At tastings, clients are asked in to the bakery to test exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet bakers and fully understand the range of their abilities.
Select a Style
- Cope with the cake after all decisions about dress reception and style decor have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the design and structure of your wedding cake. Select a cake that's compatible with the style of the venue, the growing season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want colourful accents (such as sugar bouquets or icing ribbons), give your baker textile swatches. The cake should participate the wedding, not a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers shall serve 50 to 100 guests; you will likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. In case the reception is within a grand room with high ceilings, consider increasing the cake's stature with columns between your tiers. (A "stacked" wedding cake is one using its layers stacked directly atop each other, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding cake is listed by the slice -- the price varies often, but generally varies from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is an extremely standard and loose estimation). The more complicated the wedding cake (predicated on intricate decor or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the high cost. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you would like elaborate molded patterns, vibrant colors, or handmade sugar-flower detailing, you'll pay for the cake designer's labor.
Find Methods to Save
- Order a little cake that's embellished to excellence but can only just feed a few plus several sheet cakes of the same taste to actually nourish the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade sugars flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for a stylish (but less costly) effect. If you'll have a dessert stand (or another sugary) as well as the cake, look at a cake measured for half your friends. Servings shall be smaller, but the payment will shrink too.
Get the Facts on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the key question. Buttercream is much more delightful often. But if you love the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant just as much as we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and adding a layer of fondant over the whole confection then.
Consider the Weather
- If you are 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 like to go for a fondant-covered cake -- it doesn't even have to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Keep in mind, journals (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These social people spend hours repairing the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a wedding cake after it has been sitting for some time. In case what they do fails, it can be fixed by them with Photoshop. There is also the luxury of fabricating cakes from stuff 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 just what you see in print
TAKE NOTICE: It's All in the Details
- When it comes to design, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fresh plants or fruits that, occasionally, can be applied by your florist for a minimal fee. Within the top quality are delicate gum glucose or paste paste blossoms, which are produced by hand, one petal at a right 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 worthwhile the price!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your wedding cake with fresh blooms, find out if the wedding cake custom will continue to work with your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. In the event the florist is jogging the show, will she have a chance to adorn the cake? Be skeptical of sophisticated floral accents if your reception space design is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The recognition of the groom's cake, a Southern custom traditionally, is on the rise. The bride's cake -- the main one slice by the couple at the reception -- is typically ingested as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolates) and nowadays built to show off of the groom's passions and obsessions. Give slices 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 wedding cake (where each visitor gets his or her own) is a superb idea -- theoretically however, not always in practice. Not only will each cake require its decoration (often as complicated, if not more, than one that's four times its size), each will require its own box. Unfortunately, boxes don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must create individual boxes in which to transport 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, if you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and undoubtedly, they taste as great too).
