Creative Ideas On How To Decorate A Wedding Cake To Remember
After all of the planning, the dress shopping, and food tasting
and of course, narrowing down the list of guests, it can be easy
to forget about your wedding cake. However, sometimes, this can be
one of the most exciting parts of your wedding to plan!
The following article will provide some creative and unique ideas
on how to decorate a wedding cake that will not only taste sweet,
but will look great!
The first step in decorating your wedding cake is of course, to
consult a professional baker. Unless you want to be in the kitchen
on your wedding day, worrying about how well the colored icing
matches the sugar flowers on the cake, it’s best to leave the cake
decorating to the pros. However, although you will not be
physically decorating your cake, you should play a large role in
the design and look of it.
First, you have to choose which type of wedding cake you want to
have – there are hundreds of varieties, each one suited to meet
the needs and tastes of the happy couple. Cakes come in chocolate,
mocha, yellow, white and vanilla, with a variety of different
fillings (fruit, chocolate, cream) to sit between each layer.
Conduct a few tastings with your partner to choose which type you
like best and then let the decorating begin!
Next, it’s time to talk to the baker about specifically how you
want to decorate the outside of the cake. There have been so many
advances in modern baking these days, that a professional wedding
cake baker can do just about anything you ask for.
People who have themed weddings (for example, “luau weddings” or
“sports weddings”) may choose to design their cake
according to that theme. People with
beach themed weddings may
color their cake entirely blue, and have the baker create tropical
fish made of icing around the perimeter of the cake, instead of
flowers.
Similarly, those with more elaborate tastes (and budgets) may want
to decorate the entire cake in the shape of something that
corresponds to their wedding theme. For a
French themed wedding,
some may opt to create the cake in the shape of the Eiffel Tower.
Similarly, someone who has a Las Vegas theme wedding may want the
shape of the cake to resemble a particular casino on the strip, a
slot machine or a roulette wheel. These types of cakes can be very
exciting and flashy to look at, but keep in mind that the more
detailed the cake is, the higher the cost is likely to be!
More conservative couples may opt to decorate their cakes in the
traditional way – a white cake, decorated with flowers (real or
edible flowers made of sugar) in the colors that they’ve selected
for their wedding. But it’s possible to add a personal touch to
these types of cakes too!
To spice up a traditionally designed cake, add something personal
and important to the top. For example, instead of including the
usual plastic bride and groom atop your cake, have the baker
design something that is special to you and your partner, like a
figure or statue that is symbolic to where you met, or something
that is reflective of what you like to do together as couple. This
is a great way to add something unique and original to your
wedding without paying a fortune to have a cake designed in the
shape of an animal or a historic building/monument!
If you’re searching for ways on how to decorate a wedding cake
that will be special to you and your partner, the best way is to
personalize it as much as you can. Sure, the guests will cut into
it and eat it, but the wedding cake – like everything else in a
wedding – is symbolic to your special day and should be a
reflection of you!
