Wedding Cake

I love cake. Who doesn’t love cake? And it’s one of the central parts of a wedding. Full of tradition and cutting that wedding cake is one of the most photographed moments.

So  brides, this is what your cake may be like for your wedding:
Buttercream – Forget the fondant! Buttercream is better. Seriously. You can argue about the look, but who can deny the taste of a super creamy sweet and lovely buttercream frosting compared to a plasticy looking fondant? When frosted evenly {and with a steady hand!} you can still get the smooth look:

Flavor – Since we are talking taste. New yummy flavors are coming to the forefront. Your auntie and older  may still like the fruit but you need to have your cake and eat it too! Go for a flavor you like and ask your baker what else is on offer other than fruit, carrot and biscuit. Try {the dramatic looking} Red Velvet, Chocolate Hazelnut, Chocolate orange, Vanilla Bean, Almond, Lemon or Orange and fill them with something nice like dark or white chocolate ganache or Caramel Buttercream. {OMG yum!} Your guests will thank you for it. Here is the Red velvet cake:

Height- caks are getting taller- Really towering  are normally for mor formal weddings but whether you have more layers because you need them or want to add a fake tier to get the height, stack em high for drama. Like this one: {which is buttercream again by the way

2 Tier – A bit more rustic or , this may seem to contradict the above but not really, have your baker double stack two cakes and frost together for height. Or if your wedding {and your budget} is smaller, put your cake on a fabulous stand to add the height and drama. See how this cake is layered under the frosted layer for height:

As you can see by the above wedding cake, a wedding should be very elegant and beautiful, and there is no better way to add this quality to your wedding then to have an excellent wedding cake. Wedding cakes take the main stage at a wedding, and they are even the backgrounds to most of the pictures that you will remmeber for much of your life. Those pictures will be in your families photo albums for years to come, so it is important that you select a good wedding cake for your wedding.
