Have you any idea everything there may be to know about wedding cakes? The more enlightened you are, the better the decisions you will make. We've got you covered with this top tips.
Flavour the Cake
- When you start setting up consultations, find out when each baker's next tasting is scheduled. At tastings, clients are asked into the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is an excellent chance to meet bakers and understand the range of their skills fully.
Select a Style
- Cope with the cake in the end decisions about dress reception and style decor have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the framework and design 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'd like bright colored 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 friends; you will likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. In case the reception is 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 straight atop each other, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding cake often is charged by the cut -- the price varies, but generally amounts from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is a very basic and loose estimate). The more complicated the wedding cake (predicated on intricate adornments or hard-to-find fillings), the bigger the price tag. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you want elaborate molded shapes, vibrant colors, or handmade sugar-flower detailing, you'll pay for the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Ways to Save
- Order a little cake that's decorated to perfection but can only just feed a few plus several sheet cakes of the same flavor to actually give food to the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade sugar flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less expensive) effect. If you will have a dessert stand (or another sweet) in addition to the cake, consider a cake sized for half your guests. Servings will be smaller, but the fee will shrink too.
Obtain the known facts on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the main question. Buttercream is often much more delicious. 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 elements
- If you're having a patio wedding in a hot local climate, stay away from whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summer season icing options; You might want to go for a fondant-covered cake -- it generally does not even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Keep in mind, journals (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep carefully the cakes looking perfect. These public people spend time fixing the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a cake after it's been sitting for a while. If what they do doesn't work, 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 bits of Styrofoam, which certainly doesn't taste very good. So don't expect your wedding cake designer to be able to replicate precisely what you see in print
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 from your florist for a minor fee. In the top quality are delicate gum paste or sweets paste plants, which are constructed by hand, one petal at the same 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 worthwhile the cost!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you wish to garnish your wedding cake with fresh blooms, find out if the wedding cake artist shall work with your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. If the florist is working the show, will she have time to adorn the wedding cake? Be skeptical of elaborate floral accents if your reception space decoration is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The level of popularity of the groom's wedding cake, traditionally a Southern custom, is increasing. The bride's wedding cake -- the main one lower by the few at the reception -- is usually consumed as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often delicious chocolate) and nowadays crafted to show off of the groom's passions and obsessions. Give slices to friends as a take-home memento or slice and serve both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers agree that the thought of a mini wedding cake (where each guest gets his or her own) is a superb idea -- in theory however, not always used. Not only will each cake require its own design (often as complicated, if not more, than one that's four times its size), each will demand its own box. Unfortunately, containers don't come in mini-cake sizes. Often the bakery must construct individual boxes where 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 happens to be. That said, if you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and of course, they taste equally great too).
