hoosing a wedding cake is both a fun and delicious task for couples to do. Traditionally the cake is one of the most important symbols of your wedding and will be a focal point for guests and photographs. The cake can pull together your colours and wedding theme into one beautiful and delicious package. There are endless cake designs and flavour combinations available today and most cake makers are willing to try new and unique ideas. You can choose standard chocolate and vanilla, you can have fruit or pound cakes or you can delight the palate with cheesecake or cakes with a
mousse filling. You don’t have to stop at one flavour either, you can have a different flavour in each tier. For decoration, your cake can be frosted with basic butter cream frosting or rolled fondant or marzipan. You can add lace designs, ruffles and interesting shapes and pipe on any colour to match your theme. Ribbons, flowers, bows and swirls can be created from pulled or blown sugar, icing, pastiage or a combination of tasty ingredients and the real thing. Marzipan and sugar flowers can be accented with real ivy leaves, your imagination is the only limit to the size and appearance of your wedding cake.
Where to start when choosing your wedding cake? Calculate the following: Guests, your budget for the cake, how many tiers, what design, colours and decorations should be included. What will you be using as a cake top, will the cake be the main dessert or will it be part of a sweet table? What do I need to do? Your cake should be ordered well in advance and the cake maker must have a clear idea of what you are wanting. This can be done by showing them sketches, ideas, pictures pulled from magazines, samples of dress colours and a photo of the flowers used in the bouquets.
