Weddings
are seldom memorable and complete without a wedding cake that serves
as both eye candy and dessert during the reception. Oftentimes,
wedding cakes garner the same attention and scrutiny given to the
bride
and groom’s attire,
so it’s essential for the cakes to be as gorgeous and tasty as
possible. Most couples opt to buy custom cakes to ensure a lovely and
delicious dessert for everyone, which is only understandable because
they wouldn’t want an ordinary cake to commemorate their special
day.
However,
choosing custom cakes require taking several important factors into
account. For example, the shape of the cake needs to be considered
because it can either boost or lower its cost to make. Round and
square-shaped cakes are common because they are simple. Pillow-shaped
or other specialty cakes, on the other hand, require plenty of
cutting and effort to achieve their look. “Topsy-turvy” cakes,
meanwhile, call for careful balancing. This is achieved by making one
side of the cake larger than the other, but also renders it fragile
and easy to topple over.
The
size of the cake also needs to be considered because it can either be
too large or too small for the wedding guests. This is easier to
decide upon if the tiers of the cake are used as a guide. Generally
speaking, a two-tiered cake is sufficient for 30 people, while
three-tiered cake is good for a hundred. Of course, this is assuming
that everyone only gets one slice!
