Choosing a wedding cake can be one of
the most fun things that you do as you plan your wedding. There are a
variety of decisions you have to make: What flavor of cake would you
like? How should the cake be decorated? How extravagant do you want to
be?
What flavor wedding cake would you like?
Wedding cakes
were traditionally vanilla or white cakes. However, in recent years,
there has been a trend towards choosing a wedding cake of a more unusual
flavor. Current favorites include hazelnut, raspberry almond, carrot
cake, banana cake, and a variety of flavors that incorporate fresh
fruits. One advantage to of many these flavors is that they are likely
to create a moister wedding cake. The traditional plain cake often tends
to be too dry.
You may consider
asking a family member to bake and decorate your wedding cake, but for
the sake of your sanity -- and theirs -- it is highly recommended that
you use a bakery. If you order your cake with enough notice, they may be
able to recreate a favorite family recipe, or a traditional recipe that
has been handed down from your grandparents. They'll also be able to
tell you whether such a recipe can be successfully multiplied for large
cakes such as wedding cakes.
Would you prefer a traditional or a contemporary wedding cake?
Wedding cakes traditionally have three layers; are covered in hard white frosting; and have a small plastic model of a bride and groom on top. A cake of this sort, decorated by an expert cake designer, can look very beautiful. However, more cutting-edge brides have been choosing a wedding cake that is more unusual, in colors that range from one end of the rainbow to the other. One logical choice is to match the color of your cake to the theme of your wedding. Although cakes are traditionally either round or square, many other shapes are also possible, and an asymmetrical design can look very elegant. By Tuppy Glossop
