Have you any idea everything you can find to learn about wedding cakes? A lot more up to date you are, the better the decisions you shall make. We have you covered with our top tips.
Style the Cake
- While you start establishing visits, find out when each baker's next tasting is scheduled. At tastings, clients are asked in to the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is a great opportunity to meet bakers and fully understand the range of their abilities.
Decide on a Style
- Deal with the cake after all decisions about dress style and reception decoration have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the framework and design of your wedding cake. Choose a cake that's appropriate for the design of the venue, the season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you'd like brilliant accents (such as glucose bouquets 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 will serve 50 to 100 friends; you will likely need five layers for 200 guests or more. In case the reception is in 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, without separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding cake is costed by the slice -- the cost varies often, but generally runs from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is a very basic and loose estimate). The more difficult the wedding cake (predicated on intricate decorations or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the high cost. Fondant icing is more costly than buttercream, and if you need elaborate molded designs, exciting colors, or handmade sugar-flower detailing, you'll pay for the cake designer's labor.
Find Methods to Save
- Order a tiny cake that's furnished to excellence but can only feed a few plus several sheet cakes of the same flavour to actually supply the guests. Stay away from tiers, handmade sugars flowers, and molded shapes specially. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less costly) effect. If you will have a dessert stand (or another nice) as well as the cake, look at a cake measured for half your guests. Servings shall be smaller, but the payment will shrink too.
Get the Facts on Frosting
- Fondant or buttercream? That's the main question. Buttercream is much more delicious often. But if you love 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 entire confection.
Consider the elements
- If you are having an outdoor wedding in a hot weather, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summertime icing options; You might want to go for a fondant-covered wedding cake -- it generally does not even have to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Remember, publications (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 happen to a cake after it's been sitting for a while. And when what they do fails, they can correct 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 cake designer to have the ability 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 most inexpensive option is fresh fruits or bouquets that, occasionally, can be employed from your florist for a minimal fee. Over the top quality are delicate gum sugar or paste paste flowers, which are created 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 well worth the cost!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your cake with fresh plants, find out if the wedding cake artist will continue to work with your florist, or if you are accountable for the blooms. In case the florist is running the show, will she have the perfect time to adorn the wedding cake? Be skeptical of elaborate floral accents if your reception space decoration is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The level of popularity of the groom's wedding cake, a Southern custom traditionally, is on the rise. The bride's wedding cake -- the one slash by the few at the reception -- is usually consumed as dessert. The groom's cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolate) and nowadays constructed to show from the groom's passions and obsessions. Give pieces to friends as a take-home memento or minimize and provide both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers agree that the idea of a mini wedding cake (where each guest gets his / her own) is a superb idea -- theoretically however, not always in practice. Not only does indeed each cake require its adornment (often as elaborate, if not more, than one that's four times its size), each will demand its own pack. Unfortunately, bins don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must construct individual boxes where to move these cakes. Multiply by however many guests you'll be having, and you'll see what a costly, time-consuming feat this actually is. That said, if you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and undoubtedly, they taste in the same way great too).
