Curtis & Co Cakes wedding cake design
Have you any idea everything there is to know about wedding cakes? The greater informed you are, the better the decisions you shall make. We have you covered with this top tips.
Taste the Cake
- When you start setting up meetings, find out when each baker's next tasting is planned. At tastings, clients are invited in to 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 abilities fully.
Select a Style
- Deal with the wedding cake in the end decisions about dress reception and style decor have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the look and structure of your wedding cake. Select a cake that's compatible with the design of the venue, the growing season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want vibrant accents (such as sugars bouquets or icing ribbons), give your baker cloth swatches. The cake should be part of the wedding, not a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers shall provide 50 to 100 guests; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. In the event the reception is at 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 straight atop one another, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake is listed by the slice -- the cost varies often, but generally runs from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is an extremely basic and loose estimation). The more difficult the wedding cake (predicated on intricate designs or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the high cost. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you need elaborate molded shapes, attractive colors, or handmade sugar-flower detailing, you'll purchase the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Ways to Save
- Order a small cake that's embellished to excellence but can only just feed a few plus several sheet cakes of the same flavor to actually feed the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade sugar flowers, and molded shapes specially. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for a stylish (but less expensive) effect. If you'll have dessert stand (or another sweet) in addition to the cake, consider a cake sized for half your guests. Servings will be smaller, but the charge will shrink too.
Obtain the known facts on Frosting
- Fondant or buttercream? That's the main question. Buttercream is often much more delicious. But if you value the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant around we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and adding a layer of fondant over the complete confection then.
Consider the Weather
- 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 time icing options; You might want to get a fondant-covered cake -- it doesn't even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Remember, journals (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These people spend hours correcting the perspiration, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can happen to a cake after it's been sitting for a while. If what they do fails, it can be fixed by them 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 precisely what you see in print
Take Note: It's All in the Details
- With regards to adornment, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fruits or blossoms that, occasionally, can be applied from your florist for a minor fee. Over the high end are sensitive gum paste or sugar paste blooms, which are created by hand, one petal at a right 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 worthy of the price!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your cake with fresh bouquets, find out if the wedding cake creator will continue to work with your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. If the show has been run by the florist, will she have a chance to adorn the cake? Be skeptical of elaborate floral accents if your reception space design is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The popularity of the groom's wedding cake, a Southern custom traditionally, 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 constructed to show off the groom's passions and obsessions. Give pieces to friends as a take-home memento or minimize and provide both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers concur that the idea of a mini cake (where each guest gets his / her own) is a great idea -- theoretically but not always in practice. Not only does indeed each wedding cake require its own decoration (often as elaborate, if not more, than one that's four times its size), each will require its own box. Unfortunately, containers don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must construct individual boxes where to transport these cakes. Multiply by however many friends you will be having, and you will see what a costly, time-consuming feat this actually is. That said, if you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and of course, they taste in the same way great too).
