Have you any idea everything there is certainly to learn about wedding cakes? The greater informed you are, the better the decisions you will make. We've got you covered with our top tips.
Style the Cake
- While you start establishing meetings, find out when each baker's next tasting is slated. At tastings, clients are invited in to the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is an outstanding chance to meet bakers and fully understand the range of their abilities.
Select a Style
- Deal with the cake in the end decisions about dress reception and style decoration have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the design and structure of your wedding cake. Select a cake that's appropriate for the design of the venue, the growing season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want multi-colored accents (such as sugars plants or icing ribbons), give your baker fabric swatches. The cake should participate the wedding, not a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers will serve 50 to 100 guests; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or more. When the reception is in a grand room with high ceilings, consider increasing the cake's stature with columns between the tiers. (A "stacked" wedding cake is one with its layers stacked immediately atop each other, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake is charged by the slice -- the price varies often, but generally runs from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is a very basic and loose estimation). The more difficult the wedding cake (predicated on intricate accessories or hard-to-find fillings), the bigger the price tag. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you want elaborate molded forms, lively colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll pay for the cake designer's labor.
Find Ways to Save
- Order a small cake that's adorned to excellence but can only just feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same flavour to actually feed the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade glucose flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less costly) effect. If you'll have dessert stand (or another sugary) in addition to the cake, consider a cake sized for half your guests. Servings will be smaller, but the cost will shrink too.
Get the known facts on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the key question. Buttercream is much more scrumptious often. But if you love 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 Weather
- If you're having an outdoor wedding in a hot local climate, stay away from whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about warmer summer months icing options; You might want to get a fondant-covered wedding cake -- it doesn't even have to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Remember, publications (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep carefully the cakes looking perfect. These interpersonal people spend hours repairing the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a cake after it's been sitting for a while. And if what they do fails, they can correct it with Photoshop. They also have the luxury of fabricating 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 wedding cake designer to have the ability to replicate just what you see on the net
Take Note: It's All in the facts
- With regards to adornment, adornment costs have huge variations. The cheapest option is fresh fruits or flowers that, in some instances, can be applied by your florist for a minor fee. In the high end are fragile gum paste or sugar paste flowers, which are constructed 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 raise the rate. (For the record, we think it's worth the price!)
Encourage Cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your cake with fresh blossoms, find out if the wedding cake designer shall work with your florist, or if you are in charge of the blooms. If the florist is running the show, will she have time to adorn the wedding cake? Be wary of intricate floral accents if your reception space decoration is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The acceptance of the groom's cake, traditionally a Southern custom, is increasing. The bride's wedding cake -- the one lower by the couple at the reception -- is typically ingested as dessert. The groom's cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolates) and nowadays built to show off the groom's passions and obsessions. Give slices to friends as a take-home memento or slice and provide both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers agree that the thought of a mini cake (where each visitor gets his / her own) is a superb idea -- in theory but not always used. Not only will each cake require its own decor (often as intricate, or even more, than one that's four times its size), each will demand its own package. Unfortunately, containers don't come in mini-cake sizes. Often the bakery must develop individual boxes where to transport these cakes. Multiply by however many friends you will be having, and you'll see what a costly, time-consuming feat this actually is. That said, when you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and of course, they taste equally as great too).
