So you-re getting married, how exciting! You know the dress you want. You-ve envisioned your bouquet with laser sharp clarity. You imagine your bridesmaids dressed in your favorite color, oh it-s so beautiful. The reception centerpieces are exquisite and the cake, uhthe cake! What cake do you really want? Your choices are as vast as your imagination can conceive of. Will you select the traditional tiered cake? Something square, round, cylinder? Perhaps you- ll do the “cupcake’ cake? Does either family have a cake tradition, like the rum soaked West Indian black cake or the French pastry tower called Croquembouche? What about budget? Can you indulge in a fantasy cake or do you need to be creative? One couple created a photo with their parents- wedding pictures, names, and dates and put it onto a sheet cake, and teamed it with 8, 10, and 12 inch round cakes displayed on a stand. They fed 175 guests that applauded the photo-cake for its sentimentality and uniqueness, for a fraction of the cost of a traditional wedding cake.
The bridal gown and wedding cake are highly memorable components of the day, so determine type and flavor(s) astutely. Hands down the cake most couples feed each other that wedding day is some variation of chocolate. Whether it-s straight or teamed with raspberries, hazelnuts, almonds, or mocha 2011 couples just love it! White chocolate and red velvet also rank favorably. Naturally the traditional yellow cake remains, but its fillings have become avant-garde! Like raspberry-mango and caramel mousse. Carrot cake and cheesecakes are also extolled by today-s couples. Many are electing to have it all! Cupcakes representing all their favorites tantalize the taste buds of their guests
Congratulations and make certain that when you whisper the words let them eat cake, that you love it too!
