For the most important day of your life, wedding cakes are the focal point for receptions, well after the bride, naturally. This is the traditional food served to the quests during the reception following the dinner. There are many different looks and recipes depending on just what the bride and groom are looking for.
And given the specific tastes of each couple, the baker will make a creation suited to their specifications. It usually comes in a large tiered form heavily decorated with a lot of icing and decorations. Marzipan or fondant is generally used to give a strong, dense cake that can hold the decorations, while still being edible.
Most cakes on average are approximately three to five tiers in size. The larger the celebration the more people, the larger the cake will need to be. And depending on the dimensions, the cost will vary. You could spend anywhere between three and five hundred dollars, depending on what you are looking for.
So once you have decided on the size you wish, then your next decision will be what type of cake to use. Traditionally they have been made from different mixes depending on where you are. For example, in the United Kingdom they have traditionally used fruitcake. But more and more, the variety they are being made from is changing. Depending on what your favorite flavor is, these creations can be made from more tasty flavors. You are seeing vanilla and chocolate sponge used more often these days and some are even turning to an old favorite, carrot cake.
But these are not the only flavors you can choose from. As diversified as your tastes may be, so are your choices. From the exotic mango passion fruit and tiramisu flavors to the different truffle flavors. Whatever you desire the baker will try to accommodate your tastes. The hardest choice will be which one to choose.
How you will decorate is also very individual. You can find simple, classic styles that will stand on their own, without and further touches from you. Or, if you know what you want, you can work with the decorator and get exactly the cake you envision. And some decisions to consider, are what type of decorations to use. You can use edible decorations, non-edible ones, and a lot of people are using flowers these days. If you have a special token of some sort the decorator may even been able to be worked it into the design
Wedding toppers have also become a very important fixture when thinking cakes. In the past you would see different forms of bride and groom figurines perched on the top tier. Today it could be anything, and most couples choose something that means something to them. Using your imagination will allow you to create a beautiful memory.
Wedding cakes are a big part of any wedding celebration. And they are a beautiful decoration that will be enjoyed by all those who see it. And then, even more by those who also eat it.
