A exquisite dessert creation is the icing on the wedding cake. I've seen and photographed innumerous wedding cakes and they all have been great examples of the mix between artistry and confection. However, you don't have to hire a master creator from Cake Boss to present and serve a dazzling and scrumptious wedding cake to your guests. With a little research and planning (and what could be a better job than researching dessert?) your wedding cake can be the delicious addition to your special day.
Begin by thinking about your party and any themes or styles you are hoping to convey. If you are striving for a traditional wedding ceremony, you might want a more time-honored cake characteristic. Themed weddings can make for some pretty individual and artistic cakes, such as underwater themes, cowboy hat shapes, or towers of doughnuts. Collect any pictures you find in magazines or online that represent your characteristic preferences.
The next part might be the most enjoyable part - meeting with pastry chefs to see their portfolios and taste test some wedding cake flavor possibilities. Bring along those photos that show the styles you prefer, and ask to see photos of the chef's previous work. Classic cake flavors such as marble and white often serve most taste preferences of guests, but if you prefer an individual flavor such as red velvet, make allowance for having two choices for guests. Some chefs specialize in other cake flavors such as cheesecake, great for a Philly fashion wedding, or all organic cake recipes.
When you find a pastry chef you think will be able to provide you with a wedding cake that will melt your mouth, but not your budget, bear in mind the classic particulars. Some couples choose a smaller designed cake which is cut, but serve their guests from a sheet cake. Your cake design doesn't have to fall prey to the substitute bridal party figurines of years past. You can add flair to your cake with real flowers, dazzling tiers, and pagracefulnt designs that look like they belong in a museum. Don't omit about the setting of your wedding reception - you don't want to order an artistic chilled cake that will end up sitting in the sun on a patio for 3 hours. Make sure you also find out from your chef or bakery the deadlines for placing your initial order and your final orders after the RSVPs have been counted.
The time has come to have your cake and eat it too. Remember toconventionalfficial cake cutting announced at the reception so that guests know where and when you will be making the established first cut together. You can choose to cut the cake right away, or wait until after your meal, but remember to allow for time for the serving staff to finish cutting and serving the dessert. If you're a couple who loves established practice, save the top tier of your wedding cake and have it frozen to share on your first wedding anniversary. And watch out for that groom who might "encourage" you to have a big first bite of cake!
