Curtis & Co Cakes wedding cake design
Have you any idea everything there exists to know about wedding cakes? A lot more informed you are, the better the decisions you will make. We've got you covered with our top tips.
Flavor the Cake
- As you may start setting up 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 fantastic possibility to meet bakers and fully understand the range of their abilities.
Decide on a Style
- Deal with the wedding cake after all decisions about dress reception and style interior decoration have been made. These elements can provide as a blueprint for the framework and design of your wedding cake. Select a cake that's appropriate for the style of the venue, the growing season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want multi-colored accents (such as glucose flowers or icing ribbons), give your baker fabric 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 guests; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or more. If the reception is within a grand room with high ceilings, consider increasing the cake's stature with columns between your tiers. (A "stacked" wedding cake is one with its layers stacked straight atop each other, with no separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding cake often is listed by the slice -- the price varies, but generally amounts from $1.50 to $15 per cut (though this is a very standard and loose estimate). The more complicated the wedding cake (based on intricate decor or hard-to-find fillings), the bigger the high cost. Fondant icing is more expensive than buttercream, and if you would like elaborate molded shapes, attractive colors, or handmade sugar-flower detailing, you'll pay for the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Ways to Save
- Order a little cake that's embellished to perfection but can only feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same taste to actually supply the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade sugars flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less expensive) effect. If you will have a dessert stand (or another special) as well as the cake, look at a cake sized for half your guests. Servings will be smaller, but the cost will shrink too.
Receive the known facts on Frosting
- Fondant or buttercream? 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 Weather
- If you're having an outdoor wedding in a hot local climate, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summer season icing options; You might want to get a fondant-covered cake -- it doesn't 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 people spend hours correcting the perspiration, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can happen to a cake after it has been sitting for a while. Of course, if what they do fails, they can fix it 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 wedding cake designer to have the ability to replicate exactly what you see in print
TAKE NOTICE: It's All in the Details
- When it comes to adornment, adornment costs run the gamut. The most inexpensive option is fresh fruits or blooms that, in some instances, can be employed because of your florist for a minimal fee. In the top quality are delicate gum glucose or paste paste blossoms, which are produced by hand, one petal at a right 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 price!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your cake with fresh plants, find out if the wedding cake developer will work with your florist, or if you are in charge of the blooms. In the event the florist is operating the show, will she have a chance to adorn the wedding cake? Be skeptical of complex floral accents if your reception space interior decoration is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The reputation of the groom's cake, a Southern custom traditionally, is on the rise. The bride's wedding cake -- the one lower by the couple at the reception -- is customarily consumed as dessert. The groom's cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolates) and nowadays constructed to show off the groom's passions and obsessions. Give slices to guests as a take-home memento or trim and provide both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers concur that the thought of a mini wedding cake (where each visitor gets his or her own) is a superb idea -- in theory however, not always used. Not only does each wedding cake require its design (often as elaborate, if not more, than one that's four times its size), each will demand its own field. Unfortunately, bins don't come in mini-cake sizes. Often the bakery must develop individual boxes in which to move these cakes. Multiply by however many friends you will be having, and you will see what a costly, time-consuming feat this happens to be. 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).
