Design: The design refers to the way your cake is built. For an old-fashioned look, you may choose to stack your wedding cake, setting layer directly upon luscious layer. For that fairy tale wedding, you might set your tiers on columns for a grand pillared look. Or, you may decide on a flat cake, baked in an interesting shape or meaningful pattern.
Decoration: Whether your dream cake is modern or traditional, ornate or simple, chances are it will feature carefully crafted decorations.
Filling: Filling is the delicious froth that is spread between cake layers, literally, to fill the cake in. Filling can be anything from jam, cream, frosting, icing, chocolate, fruit, buttercream, cream cheese, and many more.
Flavor: Not only should a cake look amazing, it should taste amazing, too. Determining the flavor of your cake is yet another opportunity for you to both showcase your tastes and round off a delectable reception menu with a divine treat. The most popular cake flavors are lemon, vanilla, chocolate, yellow, spice and carrot.
Icing: The layer of frosting that covers the whole cake is called icing. It is the base color, on top of which additional decoration may be layered. The most common icing types are buttercream, royal, and fondant.
Buttercream: This icing is creamy and soft and tastes the best of the three. Some bakers are able to smooth it over a cake in such a way that it resembles fondant, but generally, buttercream looks like what it is --- frosting.
When you place your wedding cake order, a $50 non-refundable deposit is required to hold the specific date.
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THE PARTY WAS OVER
Your cake looks and tastes amazing -- at least that's what everyone says. Still, while there are still a few yummy morsels left.....
Freezing the Cake. Ask you caterer to carefully and meticulously wrap the top layer of your cake in cellophane and foil. If you're leaving for your honeymoon right away, have mom and dad stash the cakelet in their freezer for safekeeping. You simply HAVE to defrost it for your first anniversary.
