The wedding cake is a really special challenge in the organization of your wedding, especially because it has both to look beautiful, but also to have a good taste. When you make your choice, be in touch with all of the features that you need to take into account. Watch dozens of photos and recipes before you go to a confectioner.
If you have a particular style in mind, cut out pictures, bring samples or use any other resources to transmit exactly the message. However, before you start your plan, read as much and find out what flux or butter cream means. Hint: fondant can take almost any color and looks gorgeous in drapery or applications. The confectioner should know of your intentions even a few months earlier. First tell him the date, then to establish the details together. Some locations have a self catering system, so you can ask them too if they also have a skilled baker.
Jane Asher‘s childhood hobby led to a crop of successful cake books and the opening of her unique cake shop in Chelsea. ‘Cakes for Fun’ is for thos of us Who Have Lives busy and want to create stunning cakes with the minimum of skill, time and effort. It’s packed full of funny and ingenious ideas for cakes and wedding cakes, both simple and sophisticated.
This book of Jane Asher includes: basic cake recipes, information on ingredients, techniques for decorating cakes and equipment. The recipes in these books look difficult, but in fact they are easy to create and always look spectacular. This work contains more than 40 cake ideas with full page color photographs and line illustrations. On her website you can find the available categories of wedding cakes: civil partnership, modern, novelty, recent work, traditional. For more information visit this website.
Hint: When talking with the confectioner, ask him how many days before he is preparing usually the wedding cakes, how is he willing to respect your budget and if he will work alone or has a team. Do not exaggerate with the decor. Flowers or other decorative elements can have a spectacular effect, but use it with moderation. Do not turn the wedding cake into a bunch of colorful flowers, so you avoid turning it into a kitch. Hint: If you choose natural flowers for decoration, use the ones with heart-shaped buds as dahlias, tulips and roses because will last longer.
Choose special figures. Consider your wedding cake a masterpiece. Your wedding cake topper should not be common, but some to represent you. If you do not like the idea, you can have a wedding cake with no figures, some even looking better in the original condition.
