Everything You Need to Know
About Wedding Cakes
The traditional wedding cake
called for a tiered, white cake with butter
cream frosting. Today, just about anything
goes! Wedding cakes come in all different
shapes, styles, flavors, colors and decorations.
Your wedding cake should be individually designed
to your match own personal style and taste
(no pun intended!) as well as the wedding
decor and color scheme. So, let’s start
with the basics.
Simply Breathtaking!
Shapes &
Sizes -
The traditional shape of the
wedding cake is either round or square. But,
don’t let your imagination stop there.
Many shapes are now available to enhance and
give a unique look to your cake. Many bakers
offer oval, hexagon and heart shapes - just
to name a few.
Square shaped cakes can be decorated in the
style of gift boxes in beautiful designs with
cascading ribbons.
A creative baker can create a
magnificent castle or a lighthouse, for a "seaside"
wedding. Keep in mind that a square or round
cake can be cut and served more quickly, easily
and will likely serve more guests.
Fancy Flavors -
Having trouble choosing a flavor for your cake?
Choose a multi-flavored cake. They come in so
many yummy varieties from vanilla to chocolate,
marble, lemon, carrot, spice and even cheesecake.
The fillings get even more tempting with raspberry,
coconut, strawberry, lemon, mocha and white
chocolate cream.
Icing on the
Cake -
Most cakes are covered in a
soft white or ivory icing but sometimes pastel
pink or peach can be used to match your wedding
colors. You can choose a traditional white,
butter cream, cream cheese, white chocolate
icing, or rolled fondant. As the name implies,
rolled fondant is icing that is rolled over
the layers of the cake for a completely smooth
and very elegant look.
Another option that looks great
for summertime or outdoor weddings, is the basket
weave. This is usually more expensive because
the baker has to actually hand weave the fondant.
Dazzling Decorations
-
Here, your choices are endless. Some
brides like to take a particular element of
the wedding decor and design the cake around
that theme. Bakers can decorate cakes with the
look of embroidery, lace, appliqué or
elegant drapes or swags.
For instance, many brides will
use the lace or detailing from their wedding
gown as a design for their wedding cake. Bring
in a picture of your gown and talk to your baker
to incorporate the lace or pearl beading detail
into the cake.
Some choose cascades of fresh or confectionery
flowers or satin ribbons that coordinate with
the wedding color scheme. Some bakers are even
painting designs on the cakes for a truly exquisite
look. Cakes can be decorated to match the bride’s
china pattern using a "painted on"
technique.
