Do you know everything there exists to know about wedding cakes? A lot more up to date you are, the better the decisions you will make. We've got you covered with our top tips.
Style the Cake
- As you start setting up consultations, find out when each baker's next tasting is planned. At tastings, clients are asked in to the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is a great chance to meet bakers and fully understand the range of their abilities.
Select a Style
- Deal with the wedding 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 style of the venue, the growing season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want colorful accents (such as sugars flowers or icing ribbons), give your baker fabric swatches. The cake should participate the wedding, not really a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers will provide 50 to 100 guests; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or more. In the event 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, without separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding cake often is priced by the cut -- the price varies, but generally amounts from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is a very general and loose estimate). The more complicated the wedding cake (based on intricate accessories or hard-to-find fillings), the bigger the price tag. Fondant icing is more expensive than buttercream, and if you wish elaborate molded styles, attractive colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll purchase the cake designer's labor.
Find Ways to Save
- Order a little cake that's adorned to efficiency but can only just feed a few plus several sheet cakes of the same taste to actually supply the guests. Stay away from tiers, handmade sweets flowers, and molded shapes specially. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less expensive) effect. If you'll have dessert table (or another special) as well as the cake, consider a cake size for half your friends. Servings shall be smaller, but the cost will reduce too.
Receive the known facts on Frosting
- Fondant or buttercream? That's the primary question. Buttercream is often much more delicious. But if you love the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant approximately we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and adding a layer of fondant over the entire confection then.
Consider the Weather
- If you are having a patio wedding in a hot environment, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summer icing options; You might want to go for a fondant-covered wedding cake -- it doesn't even need to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Keep in mind, journals (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep carefully the cakes looking perfect. These sociable people spend hours repairing the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a wedding cake after it has 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 wedding cake designer to be able to replicate exactly what you see in print
TAKE NOTICE: It's All in the facts
- With regards to decoration, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fruits or flowers that, in some instances, can be applied from your florist for a minor fee. On the high end are delicate gum sugar or paste paste bouquets, which are built by hand, one petal at the right time. But here's the bottom line: All add-ons -- including marzipan fruits, chocolate-molded flowers, and lace points -- will raise the rate. (For the record, we think it's well worth the cost!)
Encourage Cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your cake with fresh plants, find out if the wedding cake developer will continue to work with your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. In the event the florist is running the show, will she have the perfect time to adorn the cake? Be skeptical of elaborate floral accents if your reception space decoration is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The popularity of the groom's cake, traditionally a Southern custom, is increasing. The bride's cake -- the one slash by the few at the reception -- is customarily eaten as dessert. The groom's wedding cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolate) and nowadays built 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 idea of a mini cake (where each guest gets his or her own) is a great idea -- theoretically however, not always used. Not only will each wedding cake require its own design (often as complicated, or even more, than one that's four times its size), each will require its own pack. Unfortunately, boxes don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must create individual boxes where to transport these cakes. Multiply by however many guests you'll be having, and you will see 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 just like great too).
