Top Tips for Wedding Cake Decorating

In celebrations like birthdays, anniversaries and weddings food is always offered and therefore is of great importance.

Let’s discuss wedding cakes.

The union of two people, starting a life together, is what weddings are all about. A lot of work is done while preparing for this day because people come to eat and drink. The centre of interest is often the wedding cake. To not have a piece of wedding cake is sometimes considered as bad luck.

Part of tradition is the specified rules for cutting the wedding cake. If the wedding reception takes place during either lunch or dinner hour, it is traditional to cut the wedding cake just before dessert is served.

Or the cake will be cut after all the guests arrived if the reception is held during tea or cocktails. As a symbol of the couple’s choice to be together, it is tradition for them to cut and eat the first slice together. A family member or the maid of honor will then slice the rest of the cake.

It is quite a task to choose a wedding cake. A white cake with white frosting for wedding is traditional. Choosing their favorite flavor is what couples in today’s day and age do. For a larger selection of cakes, bakeries and cake decorators strive to offer anything they want. For modern weddings, marble, pound, yellow, fruit and chocolate are some of the cakes offered.

Sometimes, each layer of the cake has a different flavor in some cakes. For a wider selection of frosting, white icing, has made way for this. For wedding cake decorating, any flavor, for instance mocha, chocolate and lemon can be used. Using all your favorite flavors and customize your cake is a must.

It is a personal choice as to how the wedding cake is decorated. To use fruit and even real edible flowers or anything you want to be put on your wedding cake could be included.

The most anticipated part of the wedding is the wedding reception. As a symbol of good will and a hope that the couple will be prosperous and fertile, everyone looks forward to seeing the cake cut and sharing it with the bride and groom.
