Have you any idea everything there is certainly to learn about wedding cakes? A lot more educated you are, the better the decisions you shall make. We have you covered with our top tips.
Tastes the Cake
- Because you start setting up sessions, find out when each baker's next tasting is scheduled. At tastings, clients are invited into the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is an outstanding opportunity to meet bakers and fully understand the range of their abilities.
Select a Style
- Cope with the wedding cake in the end decisions about dress style and reception design 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'd like colorful accents (such as sweets blossoms or icing ribbons), give your baker cloth 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 guests; 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 your tiers. (A "stacked" wedding cake is one using its layers stacked immediately atop each other, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding cake is priced by the slice -- the price varies often, but generally varies from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is an extremely standard and loose estimate). The more difficult the wedding cake (based on intricate decor or hard-to-find fillings), the bigger the price tag. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you need elaborate molded patterns, attractive colors, or handmade sugar-flower detailing, 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 flavor to actually supply the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade sugars flowers, and molded shapes specially. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for a stylish (but less costly) effect. If you'll have dessert stand (or another sweet) as well as the cake, consider a cake measured for half your friends. Servings shall be smaller, but the payment will shrink too.
Obtain the known facts on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the main question. Buttercream is often much more delicious. But if you value the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant just as much as we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and then adding a layer of fondant over the complete confection.
Consider the elements
- If you are having a patio wedding in a hot climate, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summer time icing options; You might like to go for a fondant-covered cake -- it doesn't even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Keep in mind, publications (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep carefully the cakes looking perfect. These folks spend hours correcting the perspiration, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can happen to a cake after it's been sitting for a while. And when what they do doesn't work, 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 be able to replicate precisely what you see on the net
TAKE NOTICE: It's All in the Details
- With regards to design, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fresh blossoms or fruits that, in some instances, can be applied from your florist for a minor fee. Over the high end are delicate gum sugar or paste paste blooms, which are constructed by hand, one petal at the same 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 worthwhile the price!)
Encourage Cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your wedding cake with fresh bouquets, find out if the cake developer shall use your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. In case the florist is working the show, will she have the perfect time to adorn the cake? Be skeptical of elaborate floral accents if your reception space interior decoration is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The recognition of the groom's wedding cake, traditionally a Southern custom, is on the rise. The bride's cake -- the main one lower by the few at the reception -- is typically ingested as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolates) and nowadays crafted to show from the groom's passions and obsessions. Give slices to friends as a take-home memento or slice and serve both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers concur that the thought of a mini cake (where each visitor gets his / her own) is a superb idea -- theoretically however, not always used. Not only does indeed each cake require its own decor (often as complicated, or even more, than one that's four times its size), each will require its own pack. Unfortunately, bins don't come in mini-cake sizes. Often the bakery must build individual boxes in which to move these cakes. Multiply by however many friends you will 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 just as great too).
