Mini Wedding Cakes In Pittsburgh

Mini wedding cakes are so adorable, makes you think of Alice in Wonderland, or of a tea party for Barbie dolls. If you don't want the traditional layer wedding cake, mini wedding cakes are a great option, they look so adorable and cute and are much more easy to serve. Mini wedding cakes are perfect for any type of wedding, indoor or outdoor, especially for outdoor receptions, beach weddings, because the guests can serve themselves. Make sure you will have a lot of mini wedding cakes, because they are so tempting, some of your guests will have more than one.

If you decided to make the mini wedding cakes, you will find a lot of recipes on many websites. My favorite mini wedding cake recipe is from Food Network website. Recipe courtesy to Gale Gand. It looks like a easy recipe but in fact it is not so easy and will take you a lot of time 3 hours and 45 minutes. At the end your effort will be worthy. So here is what you will need:

For the butter cream you will need: 7 cups sugar, 2 cups water, 24 egg yolks, 4 pounds (16 sticks) unsalted butter, softened. You will find the directions on how to make the mini cakes on Food Network website. You need to have some baker skills to try this recipe. It is not an easy recipe for beginners. Making the mini wedding cakes is much more complicated than making the layer wedding cake. That is because at the end you have to decorate all the mini cakes with frosting and other decorations you want to use. So it a challenge.

Although these little guys might be the cutest thing you ever saw, be warned that, unlike their cupcake cousins, they take a lot of labour, and so could add up to be very costly.
Some very talented bakers have perfected these sweet little packages that are just the perfect size to be handed out to each of your guests.Some couples decide to have a larger cake for them to ceremoniously cut and then portion out the mini wedding cakes out to each of their guests.
