wedding cake:

Your wedding cake is more than flour, sugar, and eggs. It’s the one dessert that your guests will talk about for months to come, raving over its size, its appearance, and most of all, its taste.

Selecting the perfect cake for your wedding can be a daunting task – there are so many choices! Ask some important questions and selecting your cake will be a “piece of cake.”

Today’s cake designers are coming up with in-credibly unique designs that are beautiful to look at as well as yummy to eat. The fancier your cake, the more it will cost. You can expect to pay $5 to $20 per slice, depending on the style, designer, and ingredients you chose.

You’ll need to start shopping for your cake early, and reserve your order about two months in advance of your wedding. Your designer may also provide you with flavor recommendations based on the food you are planning to serve at the reception. Spending some extra time with your cake designer will pay off in the long run and ensure you get the perfect cake for your taste.

here’s the 411 on what makes a great cake

TOP IT OFF!Kissing doves, plastic brides and

grooms, and intertwined hearts are passé. Today’s cake toppers have personality and style that mimic the bride and groom. While fresh flowers that coordinate with the

bridal bouquet are perennial favorites, there are loads of other options to make your cake as unique as you

are. Handcrafted sugar or gum paste flowers, a flowing ribbon created from marzipan, or even a shiny, spun-sugar

bow create drama atop a stacked confection. Consider having a topper created just for the two of you. Incor-porate your hobbies or interests into

the design idea, and they’ll sculpt a one-of-a-kind topper in your like-

nesses. After the wedding, you’ll have a great keepsake (and conversation

piece) for your home.

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!Instead of having one cake as the

showpiece of your reception, consid-er using cake as the centerpiece on

each guest table. Individual wedding cakes and cupcakes continue to be popular at weddings as well. A tiny

wedding cake served for dessert creates quite an impact, and can

be easily taken home and enjoyed later. Cupcakes are another option

for a less expensive way to serve an individual dessert to each guest.

questions to ask when selecting a

cake designer

YUMMY FILLINGSThe icing may create a beautiful cake, but it’s what’s inside that counts. A cake falls flat if it doesn’t taste as great as it looks, and the best way to give it flavor is with the batter and the filling. Wedding cake batter is usually a very simple flavor so that it won’t compete too heavily with the sweetness of the icing or the filling. The most popular batter is plain white, though yellow and pound cake are increasingly popular.

The cake batter can be any flavor you want, but the filling is what actually gives a wedding cake its person-ality. Filling separates the layers of a cake, adding ad-ditional flavor and richness. Filling is usually fruit or cream based and depend-ing on the number of tiers, many brides choose two or three different fillings.

FROSTINGBUTTER CREAM A creamy, spreadable icing that’s made from butter and sugar.

FONDANT: A thick con-coction made from sugar and gelatin that is rolled out flat and then draped over the cake to provide a com-pletely smooth, firm surface for decorating.

ROYAL A frosting made by beating together sugar and egg whites. It hardens when dried, so it is great for dots, lace or lattice work.

GANACHE Chocolate and heavy cream combination that can be poured over cakes for a glass-like choco-late finish or used as filling.

GANACHE This fancy term is simply chocolate melted with heavy cream. This frosting makes a beau-tiful shiny glaze on cakes and cookies. If you chill a ganache, beat it until it’s fluffy and stiff, then form it into balls, you’ll end up with truffles. You can also chill and beat a ganache and use the fluffy result to quickly frost a layer cake.

ICINGSMARZIPAN a rolled paste of ground almonds, egg whites and sugar that can be draped and shaped.

SUGARPASTE Also called gum paste, it is used like marzipan to make beautiful flowers and deco-rations.Decorations

DRAGEES Hard little sugar balls are painted with edible gold or silver paint.

PULLED SUGAR Boiled sugar, water, and corn syrup used to create beautiful designs like roses and bows

filling, frosting, icings & decorations
