Wedding Cake – What You Need to Know
Wedding cake is said to be the glue of the wedding and as such, it has to be nothing less than perfect. Choosing which one you should have for your big day can be such as daunting task so you should get as much help as you can.
The first thing you need to decide on is the flavor of the wedding cake. Before you even flip through the hundreds of possible designs to choose from, you need to settle on what you want the cake to taste on the inside. It is not all for show since you will have to eat it and serve some to the guests as well. Here are some ideas for your wedding cake:
Popular cake flavors for weddings
Chocolate- You can never go wrong with this choice. It is classic, easy to make, and it goes well with any kind of frosting/icing.
Raspberry crush - If you prefer your cake to be fruity with the hint of sweet and sour taste, this is one of the best choices in the table.
Plain Chiffon - If you are on a shoe string budget, this will not be a bad option at all. You can have as many layers as you want and still spend less than what you will if you opt for more complex flavors.
Mocha Chocolate – This is another classic that will be both tasty as well as light on the budget.
Toffee Ganache – This has a very rich and elegant taste that would be a big crowd pleaser. It is sweet but not too sweet that it borders on dessert cliché.
Red Velvet – like the toffee ganache, it has a very rich taste that is definitely mouth filling.
Cake designs
Choosing a wedding cake design can become easier when you already have a theme. If you are going classic or traditional, you can never go wrong with multi layered chiffon with fondant icing. However, you have so many more options to choose from and it would be better that you start looking at samples and photos as soon as you start with the wedding plans.
These days, some couples prefer to have hundreds of mini wedding cakes than to have a single huge cake. This way, all the tables will have a cake on them. It is certainly an option that is worth exploring if you want to go all out for your guests on the big day.
