Do you know everything there exists to learn about wedding cakes? The more prepared you are, the better the decisions you can make. We've got you covered with this top tips.
Flavor the Cake
- When you start setting up sessions, 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 an excellent opportunity to meet bakers and understand the range of their abilities fully.
Decide on a Style
- Cope with the wedding cake after all decisions about dress reception and style design have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the design and structure 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 multi-colored accents (such as glucose blooms 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 friends; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or 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" wedding cake is one using its layers stacked directly atop each other, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding cake is priced by the slice -- the cost varies often, but generally amounts from $1.50 to $15 per cut (though this is an extremely basic and loose estimate). The more difficult the wedding cake (predicated on intricate decor or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the price tag. Fondant icing is more expensive than buttercream, and if you need elaborate molded patterns, vibrant colors, or handmade sugar-flower detailing, you'll pay for the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Methods to Save
- Order a little cake that's decorated to excellence but can only just feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same taste to actually feed the guests. Stay away from tiers, handmade sweets flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less costly) effect. If you will have a dessert table (or another sweet) in addition to the cake, consider a cake sized for half your friends. Servings will be smaller, but the fee will reduce too.
Get the known facts on Frosting
- Fondant or buttercream? That's the key question. Buttercream is much more scrumptious often. But if you value the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant up to we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and adding a layer of fondant over the entire confection then.
Consider the elements
- If you are having an outdoor wedding in a hot climate, stay away from whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summer season icing options; You might want to get a fondant-covered wedding cake -- it doesn't even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Keep in mind, publications (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These public people spend hours mending the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can happen to a wedding cake after it's been sitting for some time. And when what they do fails, they can correct it with Photoshop. They also have the luxury of fabricating cakes from stuff 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 be able to replicate exactly what you see on the net
TAKE NOTICE: It's All in the Details
- When it comes to adornment, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fresh fruits or blossoms that, occasionally, can be employed because of your florist for a minor fee. In the top quality are delicate gum sweets or paste paste blossoms, which are designed 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 worthwhile the cost!)
Encourage Cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your cake with fresh plants, find out if the wedding cake creator will work with your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. In the event the show is being run by the florist, will she have period to adorn the cake? Be wary of complex floral accents if your reception space design is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The acceptance of the groom's cake, traditionally a Southern custom, is on the rise. The bride's wedding cake -- the one trim by the couple at the reception -- is customarily eaten as dessert. The groom's cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolates) and nowadays made to show off of the groom's passions and obsessions. Give slices to guests as a take-home memento or lower and provide both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers concur that the idea of a mini cake (where each visitor gets his / her own) is a great idea -- in theory however, not always in practice. Not only does each wedding cake require its decor (often as elaborate, or even more, than one that's four times its size), each will require its own package. Unfortunately, boxes don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must build 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 just like great too).
