Do you know everything there exists to learn about wedding cakes? The more prepared you are, the better the decisions you can make. We have you covered with this top tips.
Taste the Cake
- As you may start establishing visits, find out when each baker's next tasting is planned. At tastings, clients are asked into the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is an excellent opportunity to meet bakers and understand the range of their talents fully.
Select a Style
- Deal with the cake in the end decisions about dress style and reception interior decoration 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 style of the venue, the growing season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you'd like vibrant accents (such as sweets blossoms or icing ribbons), give your baker fabric swatches. The wedding cake should participate the wedding, not really a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers shall provide 50 to 100 friends; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. In case the reception is 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 immediately atop each other, without separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake is costed by the slice -- the cost varies often, but generally varies from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is an extremely standard and loose estimate). The more complicated the wedding cake (based on intricate accessories or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the high cost. Fondant icing is more expensive than buttercream, and if you would like elaborate molded figures, radiant colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll pay for the cake designer's labor.
Find Methods to Save
- Order a small cake that's embellished to perfection but can only feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same flavour to actually give food to the guests. Stay away from tiers, handmade glucose flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less expensive) effect. If you'll have dessert stand (or another nice) as well as the cake, consider a cake sized for half your guests. Servings shall be smaller, but the payment will reduce too.
Get the known facts on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the key question. Buttercream is much more delightful 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 adding a layer of fondant over the complete confection then.
Consider the elements
- If you are having a patio wedding in a hot local climate, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about warmer summer months icing options; You might like to go for a fondant-covered cake -- it generally does not 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 public people spend hours mending the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a wedding cake after it's been sitting for a while. And if 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 cake designer to have the ability to replicate precisely what you see in print
Take Note: It's All in the facts
- When it comes to design, adornment costs have huge variations. The most inexpensive option is fresh fruits or blossoms that, in some instances, can be employed from your florist for a minimal fee. Over the top quality are delicate gum sugars 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 worthy of the price!)
Encourage Cake Collaboration
- If you wish to garnish your wedding cake with fresh blossoms, find out if the cake artist shall work with your florist, or if you are in charge of the blooms. In the event the show has been run by the florist, will she have a chance to adorn the cake? Be wary of sophisticated floral accents if your reception space decor is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The level of popularity of the groom's cake, a Southern custom traditionally, is on the rise. The bride's cake -- the main one trim by the couple at the reception -- is customarily eaten as dessert. The groom's cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolate) and nowadays crafted to show off of the groom's passions and obsessions. Give slices to friends as a take-home memento or lower and provide both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers agree that the thought of a mini wedding cake (where each visitor gets his or her own) is a great idea -- in theory but not always used. Not only will each wedding cake require its design (often as complicated, or even more, than one that's four times its size), each will demand its own box. Unfortunately, containers don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must create individual boxes in which to move these cakes. Multiply by however many friends you'll be having, and you'll see just what a costly, time-consuming feat this happens to be. That said, if you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and undoubtedly, they taste just like great too).
