Do you know everything there is certainly to learn about wedding cakes? The greater educated you are, the better the decisions you shall make. We have you covered with this top tips.
Tastes the Cake
- While you start establishing visits, 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 a great chance to meet bakers and understand the range of their capabilities fully.
Select a Style
- Deal with the wedding cake in the end decisions about dress style and reception decor have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the look and structure of your wedding cake. Choose a cake that's appropriate for the design of the venue, the growing season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you'd like colourful accents (such as glucose plants or icing ribbons), give your baker textile swatches. The cake should participate the wedding, not a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers shall serve 50 to 100 friends; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or even 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 straight atop one another, without separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake often is listed by the slice -- the price varies, but generally ranges 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 designs or hard-to-find fillings), the bigger the price tag. Fondant icing is more expensive than buttercream, and if you want elaborate molded forms, vibrant colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll purchase the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Methods to Save
- Order a little cake that's decorated to excellence but can only just feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same taste to actually give food to the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade glucose flowers, and molded shapes specially. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less expensive) effect. If you will have a dessert stand (or another nice) in addition to the cake, look at a cake size for half your friends. Servings will be smaller, but the payment will shrink too.
Get the reality on Frosting
- Fondant or buttercream? That's the primary question. Buttercream is much more delicious often. But if you love the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant approximately 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 weather, 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, mags (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These interpersonal people spend hours fixing the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a wedding cake after it has been sitting for some time. And when what they do fails, they can fix it 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 wedding cake designer to be able to replicate exactly what you see in print
Take Note: It's All in the facts
- With regards to beautification, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fresh fruits or flowers that, occasionally, can be employed because of your florist for a minor fee. Over the high end are delicate gum paste or sugars paste blossoms, which are built by hand, one petal at the same 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 worthy of the cost!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you wish to garnish your cake with fresh plants, find out if the cake custom shall work with your florist, or if you are accountable for the blooms. When the show is being run by the florist, will she have time for you to adorn the cake? Be wary of complex floral accents if your reception space design is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The reputation of the groom's cake, traditionally a Southern custom, is on the rise. The bride's cake -- the one slice by the couple at the reception -- is usually ingested as dessert. The groom's cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolates) and nowadays constructed to show from the groom's passions and obsessions. Give slices to guests 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 visitor gets his or her own) is a great idea -- in theory but not always in practice. Not only does each cake require its decor (often as complex, or even more, than one that's four times its size), each will require its own package. Unfortunately, containers don't come in mini-cake sizes. Often the bakery must create individual boxes where to move these cakes. Multiply by however many friends you'll be having, and you will see just 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 of course, they taste equally as great too).
