Do you know everything you can find to learn about wedding cakes? A lot more prepared you are, the better the decisions you will make. We have you covered with this top tips.
Flavor the Cake
- Because you start setting up visits, find out when each baker's next tasting is planned. At tastings, clients are invited in to the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is a fantastic possibility to meet bakers and understand the range of their skills fully.
Decide on a Style
- Cope with the cake after all decisions about dress reception and style 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 design of the venue, the season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want bright colored accents (such as sugars flowers or icing ribbons), give your baker textile 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'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or more. When the reception is at 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 straight atop each other, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake is priced by the cut -- the price varies often, but generally runs from $1.50 to $15 per cut (though this is a very standard and loose estimate). The more complicated the cake (based on intricate accessories or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the price tag. Fondant icing is more expensive than buttercream, and if you wish elaborate molded styles, exciting colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll pay for the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Methods to Save
- Order a tiny cake that's furnished to perfection but can only just feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same flavour to actually supply the guests. Stay away from tiers, handmade sugar flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for a stylish (but less expensive) effect. If you will have a dessert desk (or another special) as well as the cake, look at a cake size for half your friends. Servings will be smaller, but the payment will reduce too.
Get the reality on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the primary question. Buttercream is often much more delicious. 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 then adding a layer of fondant over the entire confection.
Consider the Weather
- If you're 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 want to get a fondant-covered cake -- it generally does not even have to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Keep in mind, magazines (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These cultural people spend time correcting the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a wedding cake after it has been sitting for a while. In case what they do fails, it can be fixed by them with Photoshop. There is also 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 precisely what you see on the net
TAKE NOTICE: It's All in the facts
- When it comes to design, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fresh fruits or flowers that, occasionally, can be applied from your florist for a minimal fee. On the high end are delicate gum sweets or paste paste flowers, 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 worth the cost!)
Encourage Cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your wedding cake with fresh blooms, find out if the wedding cake artist shall use your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. If the florist is operating the show, will she have the perfect time to adorn the wedding cake? Be skeptical of sophisticated floral accents if your reception space interior decoration is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The acceptance of the groom's cake, a Southern custom traditionally, is on the rise. The bride's wedding cake -- the main one trim by the couple at the reception -- is customarily consumed as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolate) and nowadays built to show off of the groom's passions and obsessions. Give pieces 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 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 decoration (often as complex, if not more, than one that's four times its size), each will demand its own package. Unfortunately, containers don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must develop individual boxes in which to transport these cakes. Multiply by however many guests you will be having, and you'll see just what a costly, time-consuming feat this is. That said, if you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and of course, they taste in the same way great too).
