Do you know everything you can find to learn about wedding cakes? The more knowledgeable you are, the better the decisions you shall make. We've got you covered with our top tips.
Style the Cake
- As you may start establishing visits, find out when each baker's next tasting is slated. At tastings, clients are asked in to the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is a great chance to meet bakers and understand the range of their skills fully.
Decide on a Style
- Cope with the cake in the end decisions about dress reception and style interior decoration have been made. These elements can provide as a blueprint for the composition and design of your wedding wedding cake. Select a cake that's appropriate for the style of the venue, the growing season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want bright colored accents (such as sweets bouquets or icing ribbons), give your baker fabric swatches. The cake should be part of the wedding, not really a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers will provide 50 to 100 guests; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or more. In case 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 each other, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake often is listed by the cut -- the price varies, but generally ranges from $1.50 to $15 per cut (though this is a very standard and loose estimate). The more difficult the cake (predicated on intricate designs or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the price tag. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you need elaborate molded patterns, lively colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll pay for the cake designer's labor.
Find Ways to Save
- Order a tiny cake that's embellished to efficiency but can only feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same flavor 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 expensive) effect. If you'll have dessert desk (or another sugary) in addition to the cake, consider a cake measured for half your friends. Servings shall be smaller, but the charge will reduce too.
Get the Facts on Frosting
- Fondant or buttercream? That's the primary question. Buttercream is much more delightful often. But if you value the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant as much as we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and adding a layer of fondant over the complete confection then.
Consider the elements
- If you're having an outdoor wedding in a hot environment, stay away from whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summer icing options; You might like to go for a fondant-covered cake -- it doesn't even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Remember, magazines (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These folks spend hours fixing the perspiration, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can happen to a wedding cake after it's been sitting for some time. And when what they do doesn't work, it can be fixed by them with Photoshop. They also have the luxury of creating 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 have the ability to replicate just what you see on the net
Take Note: It's All in the facts
- When it comes to beautification, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fresh blooms or fruits that, in some instances, can be applied by your florist for a minimal fee. In the high end are delicate gum sugars or paste paste blossoms, which are built by hand, one petal at a time. But here's the bottom line: All add-ons -- including marzipan fruits, chocolate-molded flowers, and lace points -- will improve the rate. (For the record, we think it's worth the price!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your cake with fresh flowers, find out if the cake custom made shall use your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. If the show is being run by the florist, will she have time to adorn the wedding cake? Be skeptical of sophisticated floral accents if your reception space design is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The popularity of the groom's wedding cake, traditionally a Southern custom, is on the rise. The bride's wedding cake -- the main one trim by the few at the reception -- is customarily ingested as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolates) and nowadays crafted to show off of the groom's passions and obsessions. Give slices to friends as a take-home memento or trim and serve both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers concur that the idea of a mini wedding cake (where each visitor gets his / her own) is a superb idea -- theoretically but not always in practice. Not only will each wedding cake require its decoration (often as intricate, or even more, than one that's four times its size), each will require its own container. Unfortunately, bins don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually 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 is. That said, when you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and undoubtedly, they taste just like great too).
