In ancient times, when rich families held weddings, they had to make a special cake, not only in the wedding banquet the bride and groom eat together, but also invited guests to eat cake.
In Europe, the guests invited to the wedding also have a custom: each brought to put the spices of the bread piled high on the table, so that the bride and groom in the "bread mountain" on both sides, across the mountain kiss. At this time, the mountain of bread also symbolizes happiness.
Initially, the practice of cake and bread is no different, the milk and flour kneaded together into a flat circle is the cake.
Wedding cakes became more and more elaborate and luxurious. Wedding cakes are also very decorative, such as covering the cake with chocolate, using some rubber binder or spice additions, flowers, etc.
The best way to influence the style of a cake is to embellish it with flowers, which can change the state of mind embodied by the cake and give it a new flavor. The more exotic the flowers are the higher price.
Selection of wedding cakes
From the days of the great Roman Empire to modern times, the traditional wedding cake has successfully defended this title.
Wedding cakes are becoming more and more popular. As for the style, shape, and decoration, there are a variety of different styles.
Their uniqueness dominates the wedding market, as well as the couple's perception of a personalized wedding.
No matter what style of cake, it should reflect their personality and the theme of the wedding. It should match the wedding theme and the colors of the wedding.
Wedding cakes can be classified as single-tier, two-tier, and multi-tier. Compared to single-tier cakes, two-tier and multi-tier cakes give a more luxurious feel. Even without a podium, such a large cake should be visible to every guest in a large venue and should be available for photos.
When choosing a cake, couples should pay attention to the following points.
1. Consider the wedding environment
When choosing a cake, the first thing to pay special attention to is the environment of the wedding day.
If you are holding an outdoor wedding, the temperature on the day may be high, at this time should try to avoid using whipped cream, egg frosting, and cream ice cream as ingredients,
And promptly communicate with the pastry chef, such as using vegetable oil shortening instead of pure cream and adding to the icing of cream ice cream, so the calorie resistance of the cake will be greatly improved; or choose a cake made of fondant, it does not even need to be frozen.
2. Know the expertise
Communicate with the baker.
You should more or less understand some professional knowledge, such as what is frosting. The frosting is a mixture of sugar and protein that is applied to a cake.
We can choose cream ice cream or fondant for the frosting. Most people like the smooth texture of cream ice cream, but you can also choose to spread a layer of cream ice cream on the cake and then add a layer of fondant filling over the entire cake. This can be discussed with your pastry chef.
3. Be careful with the color of the cake
Bright red, magenta, purple, and peach are the worst wedding cake colors. This is because when eating the cake, this color can stain the lips and tongue. It would be terrible if a guest got drunk and sent the bride with the cake and the color of the cake was dyed on her face or wedding dress.
4. Cake decoration
The cake should not be bare, but it should not incorporate too many elements. For example, try putting the bride's wedding dress pattern plus the bride/groom's favorite color in it, as well as their pets and memorial places, all on the cake at the same time ...... Gosh! Simple is perfect. Focus on one or two elements throughout the design, not a dozen.
