The modern couple
can have almost
any confection
creation they
fancy. The
influences of
travel, the media
and the Internet
has encouraged
couples to be more
adventurous .
While the
traditional rich
fruit cake is
still popular, the
trend this year
has been for
chocolate,
chocolate and more
chocolate in all
its forms. From
classical
sachertorte,
chocolate biscuit
cake, Mississippi
mud cake, white
chocolate sponge
cake, chocolate
and hazelnut cake
to chocolate ice
cream cake.
Cake boxes have again
created some
amazing new
designs to meet
this changing
demand. All or
part of the
wedding cake can
include some type
of chocolate cake.
Most cakes can
then be decorated
to look like
traditional
Wedding Cakes if
required Pure
white icing with
minimal or no
decoration seems
to be the
preference for
most wedding cakes
for this autumn
and early next
year. Delicate
sugar-art flowers
in pastel shades
with a hint of
silver are also in
demand.
The wedding cake
that can be served
as part of the
sweet course or as
the sweet course
is gaining in
popularity. While
the wedding cake
may not be the
most expensive
item on your list,
with clever
shopping you will
save time, worry
and money.
-
Visit as many
confectioners as
you can, check
out their
websites, there
are some amazing
cakes available
today. If you
want a
professional to
create your
special cake do
shop around, ask
to see samples
of previous work
done and get a
tasting of their
cakes.
-
Book in plenty
of time,
especially if
you want an
extra special
creation, as
with any service
a good decorator
will get booked
up quickly.
Usually cakes
need to be
booked 3 to 12
months ahead
-
Get the details
of your order in
writing,
normally a
deposit will
secure your
order.
-
Calculate the
number of cake
slices required,
not forgetting
to also allow
for giving to
absent friends
and relations.
-
Do you have a
wedding theme
which the cake
can reflect?
-
Would you like
to co-ordinate
colors on the
cake with those
used in wedding
flowers or the
brides dress?
-
Choose between
traditional,
novelty,
humorous or
totally
different and
unusual (this is
where Heather's
Sweet Art comes
in !!)
-
Cake recipes can
usually be
tailored to suit
special problems
e.g. nut
allergies so
bear this in
mind if you know
this could cause
a serious
problem for
anyone so they
will not have to
miss out on the
cake tasting.
-
Do ask if stands
or pillars,
boxes, and
delivery are
included in the
price. These
little extras
can add £50.00
to the cost of
your cake when
you least expect
it. Be aware,
high prices are
not a guarantee
of quality.
Insist on having
what you want,
not what the
confectioner
thinks is
fashionable.
-
Don't forget to
ask for a
viewing date to
see your
finished cake,
you don't want
to be surprised
on your wedding
day.
-
Ask about
delivery, what
is the charge?
When will it be
delivered? Give
the phone number
and name of your
venue and bridal
coordinator at
the venue to the
cake decorator
to avoid any
confusion,
especially for
large venues who
may be dealing
with more than
one wedding on
that day.
