Have you any idea everything there exists to learn about wedding cakes? The greater knowledgeable you are, the better the decisions you can make. We have you covered with our top tips.
Flavor the Cake
- As you start establishing sessions, find out when each baker's next tasting is planned. At tastings, clients are invited in to the bakery to test exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is a great opportunity to meet bakers and understand the range of their abilities fully.
Select a Style
- Deal with the wedding cake in the end decisions about dress style and reception design have been made. These elements can provide as a blueprint for the composition and design of your wedding cake. Choose 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 brilliant accents (such as sugars plants or icing ribbons), give your baker cloth swatches. The cake should participate the wedding, not really a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers shall provide 50 to 100 friends; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. When the reception is a grand room with high ceilings, consider increasing the cake's stature with columns between the tiers. (A "stacked" cake is one using its layers stacked straight atop one another, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake often is costed by the slice -- the cost varies, but generally amounts from $1.50 to $15 per cut (though this is a very basic and loose estimate). The more complicated the cake (based on intricate adornments or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the high cost. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you wish elaborate molded styles, vibrant colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll pay for the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Ways to Save
- Order a tiny cake that's adorned to perfection but can only feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same taste to actually nourish the guests. Stay away from tiers, handmade glucose flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less expensive) effect. If you'll have a dessert table (or another nice) in addition to the cake, look at a cake measured for half your guests. Servings will be smaller, but the charge will reduce too.
Get the known 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 just 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 elements
- If you're having an outdoor wedding in a hot climate, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summertime icing options; You might like to get a fondant-covered cake -- it generally does not even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Keep in mind, periodicals (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep carefully the cakes looking perfect. These people spend time correcting the perspiration, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can happen to a cake after it's been sitting for some time. And when what they do doesn't work, they can fix it with Photoshop. There is also the luxury of fabricating 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 cake designer to have the ability to replicate exactly what you see in print
TAKE NOTICE: It's All in the facts
- When it comes to beautification, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fruits or blooms that, occasionally, can be employed because of your florist for a minimal fee. Around the high end are delicate gum sugar or paste paste bouquets, which are created by hand, one petal at the right time. But here's the bottom line: All add-ons -- including marzipan fruits, chocolate-molded flowers, and lace points -- will raise the rate. (For the record, we think it's worthwhile the cost!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your wedding cake with fresh blooms, find out if the wedding cake custom will work with your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. When the florist is jogging the show, will she have the perfect time to adorn the cake? Be wary of complex floral accents if your reception space decor is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The attractiveness of the groom's wedding cake, a Southern custom traditionally, is on the rise. The bride's wedding cake -- the main one slice by the couple at the reception -- is typically eaten as dessert. The groom's cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolate) and nowadays constructed to show from 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 indeed each cake require its design (often as intricate, or even 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 construct individual boxes where to move these cakes. Multiply by however many friends you'll be having, and you will see what a costly, time-consuming feat this happens to be. That said, when you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and undoubtedly, they taste equally great too).
