All Things Sugar wedding cake design
Have you any idea everything there exists to know about wedding cakes? A lot more knowledgeable you are, the better the decisions you will make. We've got you covered with our top tips.
Tastes the Cake
- As you may start establishing consultations, find out when each baker's next tasting is planned. At tastings, clients are asked into the bakery to test exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is an excellent opportunity to meet bakers and understand the range of their abilities fully.
Select a Style
- Deal 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 design and structure of your wedding cake. Select a cake that's appropriate for the style of the venue, the season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want colorful accents (such as glucose blooms or icing ribbons), give your baker textile swatches. The wedding cake should be part of the wedding, not a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers shall provide 50 to 100 friends; you will likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. In the event the reception is within 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, without separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake is costed by the cut -- the cost varies often, but generally ranges from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is a very basic and loose estimation). The more complicated the 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 styles, vivid colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll purchase the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Methods to Save
- Order a small cake that's embellished to efficiency but can only 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 a dessert stand (or another nice) as well as the cake, look at a cake size for half your friends. Servings will be smaller, but the charge will shrink too.
Get the Facts on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the main question. Buttercream is much more delicious often. But if you love the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant as much as we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and then adding a layer of fondant over the entire confection.
Consider the Weather
- If you are having an outdoor wedding in a hot local climate, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summer icing options; You might like to get a fondant-covered cake -- it doesn't even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Keep in mind, periodicals (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These people spend hours correcting the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a wedding cake after it has been sitting for some time. In case what they do doesn't work, they can correct it with Photoshop. There is also 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 cake designer to be able to replicate just what you see in print
TAKE NOTICE: It's All in the facts
- When it comes to design, adornment costs have huge variations. The most inexpensive option is fresh plants or fruits that, occasionally, can be employed from your florist for a minor fee. Around the top quality are delicate gum sweets or paste paste plants, which are constructed by hand, one petal at the 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 well worth the cost!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your wedding cake with fresh bouquets, find out if the wedding cake artist will work with your florist, or if you are accountable for the blooms. If the show is being run by the florist, will she have time and energy to adorn the cake? Be wary of intricate floral accents if your reception space interior decoration is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The popularity of the groom's cake, a Southern custom traditionally, is on the rise. The bride's cake -- the one cut by the couple at the reception -- is usually ingested as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolate) and nowadays built to show off the groom's passions and obsessions. Give pieces to friends as a take-home memento or slice and serve both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers agree that the idea of a mini wedding cake (where each visitor gets his / her own) is a superb idea -- in theory however, not always in practice. Not only does indeed each cake require its decor (often as intricate, if not more, than one that's four times its size), each will demand its own field. Unfortunately, containers don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must develop individual boxes in which to transport these cakes. Multiply by however many friends you will be having, and you will see just 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 in the same way great too).
