Do you know everything there is certainly to learn about wedding cakes? The greater up to date you are, the better the decisions you will make. We've got you covered with this top tips.
Taste the Cake
- As you start setting up appointments, 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 great opportunity to meet bakers and understand the range of their abilities fully.
Decide on a Style
- Deal with the cake in the end decisions about dress reception and style decor have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the design 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'd like colorful accents (such as sweets flowers or icing ribbons), give your baker cloth swatches. The wedding cake should be part of the wedding, not really a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers will provide 50 to 100 friends; you will likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. When the reception is 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 directly atop one another, without separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding wedding cake is charged by the slice -- the cost varies often, but generally amounts from $1.50 to $15 per cut (though this is an extremely general and loose estimation). The more difficult the wedding cake (predicated on intricate adornments or hard-to-find fillings), the bigger the price tag. Fondant icing is more expensive than buttercream, and if you would like elaborate molded shapes, vivid colors, or handmade sugar-flower detailing, you'll purchase the cake designer's labor.
Find Ways to Save
- Order a tiny cake that's furnished to efficiency but can only feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same taste to actually feed the guests. Stay away from tiers, handmade sweets flowers, and molded shapes specially. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for an elegant (but less costly) effect. If you will have a dessert table (or another sweet) in addition to the cake, consider a cake size for half your guests. Servings shall be smaller, but the fee will reduce too.
Get the Facts on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the key question. Buttercream is much more delightful often. But if you value the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant around 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're having a patio wedding in a hot environment, avoid whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summertime icing options; You might like to get a fondant-covered cake -- it doesn't even have to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Keep in mind, periodicals (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These sociable people spend time repairing the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a cake after it's been sitting for some time. In case what they do fails, they can fix it with Photoshop. They also have the luxury of fabricating 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 Note: It's All in the facts
- With regards to decoration, adornment costs run the gamut. The cheapest option is fresh fruits or blooms that, in some instances, can be employed because of your florist for a minor fee. Over the high end are fragile gum paste or sweets paste bouquets, which are produced by hand, one petal at a right time. But here's underneath line: All add-ons -- including marzipan fruits, chocolate-molded flowers, and lace points -- will raise the rate. (For the record, we think it's worth the price!)
Encourage Cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your wedding cake with fresh bouquets, find out if the wedding cake custom made will continue to work with your florist, or if you are responsible for the blooms. In the event the show is being run by the florist, will she have time and energy to adorn the wedding cake? Be wary of elaborate floral accents if your reception space decor is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The level of popularity of the groom's wedding cake, traditionally a Southern custom, is on the rise. The bride's wedding cake -- the one lower by the couple at the reception -- is usually ingested 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 lower and serve both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers concur that the thought of a mini cake (where each guest gets his or her own) is a great idea -- theoretically however, not always in practice. Not only does indeed each cake require its decor (often as complicated, 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 create individual boxes in which to move these cakes. Multiply by however many guests you'll be having, and you'll 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 undoubtedly, they taste just as great too).
