Frosted Wedding Cakes

When it comes to choosing the best wedding cake, couples of today have to consider several aspects of the wedding, such as the style, theme, color-scheme, character, location, season and budget, just to make sure that their wedding cake is deeply in agreement with the general line and style of the wedding.




Brides and grooms can make a difference by choosing a certain type of flavor-scheme, color-palette, shape, frosting, decorative element and topper. This is the only way for their wedding cake to look unique, distinctive and original. But let’s find out some more about frosted wedding cakes and what type of frosting can fit better with your personal style, vision and wedding cake’s taste and aspect.

Mostly, it all depends on your wedding budget when choosing a frosted wedding cake. For instance, the butter-cream is slightly more affordable than any other type of frosting. Compared to the fondant or marzipan, a butter-cream frosted wedding cake is less expensive and more delicious.

Butter-cream is the best choice for a more natural, organic, appetizing, yummy and fluffy frosted wedding cake and the worst choice for a summer outdoor wedding. Because of the creamy puffy texture, a butter-cream frosted wedding cake can melt in an instance under the high temps of a hot summer day. So don’t choose a butter cream wedding cake for an outdoor July or August wedding day. There are two types of butter-cream that differ by composition and ingredients used: the Swish buttercream and the Italian buttercream.

Another type of frosting is the famous trendy and refined fondant. A little bit more expensive than the butter-cream, fondant is renowned for its smoothing power. Any type of cake can be beautifully finished with fondant, in a very smooth, sleek, refined, soft and unique perfect way.

Fondant is used for the wedding cake’s icing and for various decorations of the cake. Choose a European Fondant for an amazingly smooth, elastic and fine surface of the cake. The recipe of European fondant contains glucose, boiling sugar and water but don’t’ try to do it at home because it is quite problematic and risky. Depending on your wedding budget and personal taste, choose an uncooked type of fondant or the rolled fondant.

The royal icing is quite an affordable type of frosting made from egg white or meringue powder, cream of tartar and sugar. Marzipan is one of the most expensive types of icing, and it can be used in filling, covering or decorating a wedding cake. Choose a marzipan frosted wedding cake that contains at least 25% almonds. Use this frosting for colorful and intricate wedding cakes and figurines. The effect is absolutely smooth, sleek and fine. Wealthy couples usually choose a gorgeous unique and stylish Marzipan frosted wedding cake.
