Make Your Occassion Happy With Wedding Cakes

The concept of a wedding ceremony stems from the fact that it is supposed to be a celebration of the brand new life embarked upon together by the bride and the groom. It is but expected that the programme should be a grand event not just for the bride and groom, but for the entire gathered wedding party. It is imperative that you make your occassion happy with wedding cakes. Why wedding cakes in particular? Well, for one, everybody loves cakes. Secondly, it has always been a long standing tradition to cut cakes during weddings. In fact, wedding cakes are so popular, they even make up a very important aspect of the wedding planning. The wedding planner has to sit down and decide how much budget has to be set aside for the wedding cake, what quantity would be perfect, especially when considering the guest strength, what flavors to incorporate into the cake, how to decorate the wedding cake (keeping the decor of the surroundings in mind et cetera). There are a number of facts the wedding cake designer should make clear to the wedding cake baker and/or wedding bake designer- the patterns of the cake, size, and ingredients, being some of them. Wedding cakes in Europe Wedding cakes are all the rage in Europe where people go to great lengths to stylize them. French wedding cakes are the biggest culprits of this. There are high end bakers in Paris, who charge unreasonable amounts of money to bake the most scrumptious kinds of cake possible. They make these cakes highly elaborate, perhaps reflecting the festivity and importance that food symbolizes in Europe. Paris, and in general, France, is the epi-center of stylized wedding cakes as that is where you will find all the “wedding cake designers” just ready, and waiting to add a touch of glamor to your wedding ceremony, by baking the best cakes possible for varying prices. It isn't a coincidence that the first multi-tiered cakes were baked by a Parisian baker in the 19th century. It is here that wedding cakes were given fancy patterns and designs with the help of fondant frosting. The cakes were often based upon patterns of women's clothing and accessories, which is why you would find the cakes emulating fabrics like lace, silk, or have rows of edible pearls attached to them. Other ornamentation for the cakes included flowers, especially white roses and lilies for white wedding cakes, arranged in such a way that it looks like they are cascading down the multiple tiers of the cake. The aforementioned practices not only hold true for France, but also other European countries like Italy and the United Kingdom. You don't need a big budget to include a cake into your function. You could just prepare one at home as well, and creatively decorate it with icing (through piping bags) and place fresh flowers or sprinkle edible pearls on it. As long as you make your occassion happy with wedding cakes, by hook or by crook.

Inexpensive Wedding Cakes That Look Gorgeous

Everytime you go to a wedding, and see a vibrant and beautiful wedding cake, you begin to wonder- I wish I had such a lovely wedding cake for myself. However, there are hardly any bakeries which avail of such magnificient multi-tiered wonders for a reasonable price, and you tend to overspend, or feel disappointed that you cannot purchase the wedding cake of your fantasies. You may find that there exist bakeries which offer wedding cakes at cheap prices, but then these cakes may end up tasting like rock and soil. It is for this reason that when it comes to inexpensive wedding cakes that look gorgeous, we must first try our hand at some competent wedding planning, and instead of lunging for cheap wedding cakes, go the safer route. Which would be to prepare your own cake. It may sound incredibly difficult and time consuming, but it is fairly simple, and if you are able to manage time pretty efficiently, you would also be able to get things done well before deadlines. Going about Preparing You Own Multi Tiered Wedding Cake While the ingredients required, and the actual procedure for baking the cake will be easily found elsewhere, here on this blog, we will quickly tell you what the essentials for preparing a homemade multi-tiered wedding cake are. You will most definitely need a hand held mixer to mix all the ingredients like flour, eggs and fruit mixture together. Secondly you would require baking molds of different sizes to make different tiers of the cake. After the cakes are baked in these molds, you need to carefully remove them, and place them one on top of the other, in ascending order of size. You could also purchase cake molds of different shapes (stars and hearts being some unique examples which happen to be very much in demand). Of course, the entire effect lies in the frosting. For adept frosting, you really need to have skills with the piping bag. Even if you personally don't, you could get a friend who is skilled to help you with the frosting. You could look online for inspiration, when it comes to wedding cake patterns and designs. You could also prepare fondant, and cover the cake with it, though we strongly suggest you do not, as there is nothing more fake looking and unhealthy as fondants. You could, however, use hardened sugar and whipped cream to uniformly cover the cake. Cheap Ornamentations for the Wedding Cake You should not depend upon a wedding cake designer to come up with a visually popping look for your wedding cake. There are a number of cake decors which come cheap, and are exquisite to look at. Some of these cake ornaments include- fruits, especially ripe strawberries, cherries, grapes and slices of lemon. Flowers like roses, lilies, and jasmine are traditionally used to adorn multi-tiered cakes, usually in a fashion, where it appears that they are cascading down the tiers of the cake. Edible pearls are also incredibly cheap to get by, which you could sprinkle over your cake. These were our suggestions regarding inexpensive cakes that look gorgeous. Practical, delightful, and best of all, you do not have to burn a severe hole in your pocket for it!

Western Wedding Cakes

Yee haw! If, in the words of Miley Cyrus, you are in the mood to “countrify” your wedding cake with cowboy hats and boots, then western wedding cakes are just the thing for your marriage ceremony. Such a cake will feel right at home if you are going for an entire rustic country feel, right down to the barn and open farm like atmosphere to men wearing their best leather boots, brass buckled belts, jeans and plaid shirts and the ladies in their prettiest dresses; or in the same wear as men. Anyways, the point being, western wedding cakes may come in a range of options. Here are some wonderful western wedding cake tips which should bring about a laid back atmosphere to the festivities- Haystack Wedding Cake This may sound ridiculous but one of the best ideas for a western wedding cake would be making it resemble haystacks piled one on top of the other. It is one of the best ideas because it is relatively easy to prepare. Take a regular multi tiered cake and cover it with a coating of roasted coconut shreds. Do this until the entire cake is covered with the coconut shreds, giving the entire look that of haystacks piled one on top of the other, the biggest stack at the base and the smallest at the top. Wildflower Adorned Wedding Cake Cover the multi tiered cake with white fondant. Twirl fresh wildflowers and thistles and stick them to the fondant. You may attach the flowers to the fondant with superglue. The flowers and thistles can be ripped off while the cake is being consumed. A wedding cake decorated with wildflowers gives off a surrealistic look. Horseshoe Adorned Wedding Cake These are wedding cakes which sport fancy chocolate horseshoes, either placed on the surface of each tier, attached to the tier wall surface or as cake toppers (in which case, one horseshoe could be chocolate/ brown colored and the other vanilla/ white colored, to symbolize the contrast between the bride and groom). Similarly, we could also have miniature edible cowboy hats sitting pretty atop the wedding cake. Western Wedding Themed Cake Toppers Horseshoe themed toppers are not the only western wedding themed cake toppers that you may find. You are also very likely to come across dapper couples (with the groom dressed with a black cowboy hat and boots with the bride in a pretty white dress). There are many variants of this "miniature country couple topper". However you decide to prepare and decorate your western wedding cake, make sure that it finds a place on the list of the most memorable and unique wedding cakes that you have ever laid your eyes upon.

Difference Between a Bridal Shower Cake and a Wedding Cake

Is there really a difference? For years, I thought that a cake is a cake and what matters is the way it looks and tastes. But apart from the fact that both of them are cakes, there is a big difference between a Wedding Cake and a Bridal Shower Cake. The origin of these differences lies in the origin of these occasions. A bridal shower cakes are different than a wedding cakes in terms of tradition and meaning. Bridal Shower is an informal event arranged by the bride’s close friends. It is a way of sending her off in a new role, whereas wedding is a traditional bonding between a man and a woman which not only unites them, but also their families. Bridal Shower is a party. There are no set ground rules or etiquettes to carry it out. You can modify it according to the bride’s likes and dislikes. Many different customs have developed in various regions regarding the bridal shower. Traditionally, this was just a gift-giving party arranged by the bride’s friends to help her start her new life. Now-a-days, it is more of an excuse for the bride to spend a quality time with her close ones and have some party time. These days, the custom of ordering a cake for the bridal shower according to the theme has been picking up fast. But it is not a mandatory requirement. It is just a visual treat and is typically used as a centrepiece. Wedding is considered as one of the seven sacraments. It is a formal announcement of the bride and the groom’s decision to spend the rest of their lives together. A wedding cake is usually multi-layered, multi–tiered and heavily decorated with sugar icing. It is a symbol of the love and commitment of the couple with each other. Traditionally, a white wedding cakes symbolized the purity of bride. Cutting the cake together symbolizes the first joint task carried out by the married couple. However, these symbolisms are outdated today. Now-a-days, the sexist meaning of the traditional white wedding cake has taken a backseat and is used mostly as a centerpiece and a visual treat.

Wedding Cake Designs

The most fun part about wedding planning is deciding on your wedding cake and wedding cake designs. Many a times, the bride and groom have arguments over their tastes with regards to the presentation of the bridal shower. So it is ideal that the newlyweds make a joint decision together and plan the design well in advance. Traditional wedding cake design The most traditional wedding cake designs tend to be beautiful floral patterns on the cake. Usually, if it is an elegant white wedding cake, the design will be that of white flowers with slender green or white stems and leaves branching out across the entirety of the cake or growing on different tiers, if it is a multi tiered wedding cake. Prince William and Kate Middleton had a variation of this design for the wedding cake at their royal ceremony. They went for a floral print on a fruit cake. Taking another traditional cue from the royal wedding, it is a highly romantic idea to have the initials of the couple intertwined on the cake itself. Designer wedding cakes Remember the miniature bride and bridegroom on the top of a multi layered cake? That imagery has become extremely quaint with the advent of designer wedding cakes. Here, the bride and groom hire specialized bakers who are capable of personalizing the wedding cake designs and ornamentations to the nth degree, under the supervision and detailed requests of the married couple to be. Some other ideas would be to base the color and pattern of the wedding cake on the decor of the wedding venue. A red wedding cake would be suitable for a wedding venue decked out in warm red drapes. Similarly, if there are any specific patterns and motifs featured prominently in the wedding decor or bridal gown, you may have your designer replicate those exact same patterns on your wedding cake as well. Flowers, ferns, and beads also make for pretty wedding cake ornaments of the inedible kind. You may enlist the help of various online photo galleries and magazines dedicated to wedding cake designs to make your choice. Just remember one thing. Ultimately, it is your taste that should be satisfied and if that one criterion is not met properly, then there is no point in dressing up the cake in a way meant only to impress the wedding guests gathered at the ceremony. Put yourself first and foremost, always.
