Wedding Cake: How To Pick The Best One
Melissa Burton
Wedding cakes have become an essential decoration in the
wedding venue. The first thing guests would buzz about is how
magnificent your wedding cake is. Choosing the right cake
should be meticulously done. With a little patience and the
quick tips below, picking the best cake should as easy as
walking down the aisle.
Choose the right bakeshop
If you have an idea on where the best bakery is in your city,
then head to that place immediately. You can ask suggestions
from your friends or family members also. Get a reservation at
once. Do not procrastinate. The availability of cake decorators
might be restricted. Be sure to drop by the bakeshop to talk
about the designs, flavors and other things you wanted to add
to your cake. Be sure to give a detailed description of exactly
what you want your cake to be. Give the vendor ample time to
prepare, approximately six months ahead of your big day would
do. You may need to pay a deposit fee for reservation.
The right taste
Aside from the look of the cake, keep in mind that cakes are
made primarily for eating. They should taste good as well as
they look good. The texture and flavor of the cake itself is
important. When scouting for a bakeshop, don’t hesitate to ask
for cake samples of the flavors you want. If they do not allow
this, jump to the next store.
Check on your budget
Wedding cakes ranges from $300 to $1000 or so. Cost primarily
depends on the cake design you want. You have to pay for the
cake decorator’s fee on top of the cost of the cake itself.
Know what your budget is ahead of time. Some shops may give you
free delivery too. Most bakeshop has a standard number of
servings for each cake type. Know how many guests would attend
your wedding so you would know more or less how much money you
would allocate for the cake.
Flowers as decorations
Flowers have been a traditional thing on weddings. You can well
put them in cakes too. You can either choose from fresh flowers
or artificial ones. Fresh flowers are beautiful addition to
your cakes. But it is very important that you choose fresh
flowers wisely. Be sure that they are free from chemicals. Just
to be on the safe side, sugar flowers are safer. These are
edible gum paste decorations that have wire or toothpicks on
them.
Where to place the cake
Most cakes, especially on summer, might end up melted under the
heat of the sun. They can also cause flowers and flavored curls
to dry up. Not to mention the possibility of flies gathering on
your priced cake. Just be sure, always have a back up site where
you can store your cakes to preserve its look and taste. Never
place your wedding cake near the dance floor or where there is
a heavy flow of traffic. You might just see your cake fall
down. That’s not a good sight at all! Be sure to check the
sturdiness of the table you would place your cake.
Buying wedding cakes can be fun and hassle-free. Remember that
your wedding cakes needs to be presentable, most of the photo
opts are done beside the cake. It’s always nice to give out
that bright smile beside you’re well decorated cake that brings
out your personal statement.
