Compared to other types of celebration cakes, it seems that wedding cakes require more thought and planning. You can decide on what birthday cake to buy in a few minutes or hours, but it could take days or months before you finally choose a wedding cake to serve at the reception. Given the significance of such a confection on your special day, here are some tips to help you pick out the right one:
You can ask recommendations from your newly married friends, inquire with your chosen caterer, or even ask if your favorite bakery has an experience in making wedding cakes. Set up appointments to meet with the leading bakers in your area, and do attend their scheduled tastings. It’s an opportunity for you to sample their cakes, review their portfolios, and ask questions.
Select the right style.
When it comes to choosing your wedding cake’s style or theme, you’ll have to take several factors into account, such as the venue, season, menu, and even the flower arrangements. You’d want your wedding cake to complement almost everything – and not make it stand out as an oddity or eyesore.
Decide on the frosting.
Facing the all-too-common “buttercream vs. fondant” dilemma? Indeed, the former is quite tasty, and the latter has a lovely, smooth look. If you want the best of both worlds, consider having the cake frosted with buttercream first and then covered with a layer of fondant.
