What Should a Bride Look For When Ordering A Wedding Cake?
BROUGHT TO YOU WITH COMPLIMENTS BY BEST ONE ENTERTAINMENT
Most modern brides and grooms are looking for something really impressive and different to be a stunning focal point to their reception. They like to add a personal touch to make the cake unique and give their guests something to remember, for all the right reasons! This might be a tall tiered cake, perfectly iced and simply trimmed with a wide band of ribbon for a chic yet simple elegance, or a complete Novelty theme, which reflects the couples’ hobbies or lifestyles. Anything is possible, so let your imagination soar.
Croquembouche Wedding Cakes are always popular. This cake is a high pyramid of crisp, freshly baked choux buns filled with a delicate French Crème patisserie and assembled together with hot caramel. One of the highest croquembouche we’ve made was almost four feet tall and contained over 1200 choux buns.
Modern designs smothered in beautifully patterned coloured chocolate are also increasingly sought after and these can have with a chocolate or lemon cake centre or be filled with a rich Belgian Chocolate Mousse, which makes the most fabulous wedding breakfast dessert.
One of the most important things to find out from your cake decorator is do they deliver? You want to make sure a professional personal will be bringing your cake to the venue and setting-it up just as you would wish. Having a cake dropped off by a courier and left to catering staff to set-up is far from ideal. We deliver cakes throughout the country so if you cannot find your ideal cake decorator in your own area do consider looking further afield.
It also a good idea to check out previous customers reviews on the www. Just type in the cake company’s name and ‘review’ and see what you can discover.
Make sure all costs are included when you accept your Wedding Cake quote – you need to know if you are going to be charged extra for delivery or for a specialist cake stand to suit your cake design. If you are using a stand at a venue do make sure it’s the right size and shape for your cake and let your cake decorator know you’ll be using this. Also check out that the venue has a cake knife or order an engraved one from your cake decorator and then you can keep this as a beautiful Wedding souvenir.
You might also like to check that your chosen cake decorator bakes their own cakes and can deal with any special dietary requirements you may have. ‘Bought in’ cakes or cakes made with just add water mixes are a very poor comparison to those made with fresh ingredients. After all your Wedding Cake is probably the most expensive single item of food you will purchase so it’s worth making sure it will taste as good as it looks.
To avoid any design problems you might like to ask if cake maker makes their own sugarcraft flowers and models or are they relying on a third party to have these ready in time. Look at other examples of their work and make sure you are confident they can supply your dream Wedding cake.
Most importantly - Don’t have your choices limited - it’s your special day so make sure your cake decorator will go that extra mile to bring your dreams to life. So long as they are approachable and adaptable you should have a Wedding Cake to remember for all the right reasons.
