The Definitive Guide to Wedding Cakes
August 2, 2007
Wedding cakes are a tradition that has been around for centuries. Most couples still practice this tradition. Wedding cakes are a thing of beauty, intricately designed and delicious! Choosing just the right cake is one of the most fun decisions that the bride and groom will make during the wedding planning process. There are so many options to choose from and hopefully this guide will help alleviate some of questions the couple might have.
Most couples choose some sort of theme for their wedding and use this theme on their wedding invitations, decorations and even their cake. This may be an actual theme such as a beach theme or it may be as simple as a specific colour scheme. The important thing to consider when choosing from potential wedding cakes is the overall atmosphere that the bride and groom are going for. If the event will be simple, elegant, casual, small, large, or something else entirely, wedding cakes will need to adhere to the atmosphere the bride and groom have set.
The bride and groom must first find a bakery that specialises in wedding cakes. It is a great idea to poll friends and family as well as anyone who has recently been married. You could even ask the company who did your wedding invitations as they may be able to refer you to someone. It is also a good idea to visit more than one bakery before making any decisions. Each bakery will offer different designs and flavours. One of the bakeries will likely stand out among the rest and offer exactly what the couple wants.
It is necessary to make an appointment with the bakery to have a tasting of their wedding cakes. At this appointment, someone will go over all of the specifics with the couple. They will also offer samples of some of their most popular flavours. This will include cake, filling, and frosting. The bride and groom will not be able to try every single flavour or flavour combination. If they want something different, they could try telling the baker beforehand or order a small cake with the flavours they desire. Tasting wedding cakes is the best part of choosing the right bakery!
The size of wedding cakes is also an important consideration. Some designs require a specific size cake in order to make the design work. The number of guests it is meant to feed generally decides the size of wedding cakes. The bride and groom will be shown pictures of sample designs that the bakery has previously created. The couple will likely find one that suits their needs. If they don’t, it is perfectly acceptable to ask the bakery to create a new design that will suit their needs. Once the bride and groom have chosen a design, they can designate different flavours for each tier if they so choose.
There are so many considerations when it comes to wedding cakes. There is size, flavour, design, and of course choosing the right bakery. It is fun to taste all of the different flavours and wedding cakes. The bride and groom should enjoy this aspect of their wedding planning! Wedding cakes are a thing of beauty and the people who design them are true artists. The couple should have exactly what they dream of on their wedding day and their wedding cake is no exception!
