cakes fondant to cover the cake or used as a base for the fillings between the layers. Royal Icing Egg whites beaten with confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice, then piped with a pastry tube to make intricate decorative elements, such as piped lace trellises or miniature buds. It is very sweet and hardens quickly. Spun Sugar/Angel Hair A web of long, fine caramelized sugar threads, thrown to create a magical golden veil over a cake or dessert. Dragées Gold or silver edible, decorative balls(like BB’s) made of candied sugar. Gold and Silver Leaf Used in small amounts as a final touch on iced cakes. Painting with edible gold and silver is both labor-intensive and expensive, but quite beautiful for tinted flowers, leaves and Art Deco touches. Pulled Sugar Sugar syrup that is made molten and pulled into different shapes, like bows and flowers.

Whipped Cream Filling or icing. Always use pure whipped cream – no other icing stabilizers mixed with it. Whipped cream must be refrigerated. THE COST Before talking to a baker you should know your cake budget and how many guests the cake will serve. If you plan on observing the age-old-tradition of saving the top layer for your first anniversary, be sure the number of servings does not include that layer. The average wedding cake consists of three-tiers: 12”, 9”, and 6”; or 15” 10” and 6”, and serves about 125-150 people. You will find that prices can range from $5 to $25 per slice depending on the elaborate nature of your cake. If cost is not an issue, be more elaborate with the addition of a "sweets table", also referred to as a Viennese table, offering cookies, candies, pastries and deliciously decorated petit fours and other miniatures to complement the cake. A potential cost for which you should be prepared, unrelated to your baker, is the facility or caterer’s fee for serving the cake which can range from $1 to $6 per slice. In some instances, this fee is negotiable. Ask your caterer and budget accordingly. ■
