If there is one piece that could almost steal attention away from the blushing bride, it’s a scrumptious, tiered wedding cake. And even though you do not relish the competition, neither do you want guests to whisper about how shabby your cake looks. So how do you go about finding the right cake for your wedding in Toronto? Here are some quick tips.
1. Consider your wedding theme.
A fluffy, gigantic, three-tiered fairy cake would stick out like a sore thumb in a beach wedding. So would a rectangular, bland chocolate cake in a grand garden wedding. You have to consider the theme, the size, the color motif, and the wedding favours when you choose your cake.
Do you want a simple, traditional cake or an avant-garde one? You decide. After all, your cake reflects your good taste – or even the lack thereof. And so long as you go with the theme, choosing a design will be as easy as snapping your fingers. Wedding cakes in Toronto have unique designs. If finding a unique cake is your main issue, you won’t have trouble at all. Here’s a little advice: Decide first on all other aspects of your wedding gala. Only after you have done that should you choose the cake. You may also seek advice from any professional from your bridal boutique. Everybody is always eager to give advice to a soon-to-be blushing bride.
2. Note the number of guests on your list.
Everyone will want a piece of your cake and eat it, too. Thus, you should pay attention to the number of guests on your list. Ideally, everyone should be able to take a bite of your cake. However, if you choose a dainty teensy cake, make sure that you serve the guests a bunch of other sweets for dessert.
3. Pay attention to cake flavors and ingredients.
Chocolate, vanilla sponge, rich coffee, walnut caf?, or carrot – you name it, there’s a cake made of and named after it! Tiered wedding cakes give you the freedom to pick more than one flavor out of the lot, thus satisfying a wider range of your guests’ palate. There are a lot of wedding cakes in Toronto with a wide variety of flavors. There are so many, in fact, your only problem would be NOT knowing which one to choose!
For cake icings, butter cream is probably the cheapest and the most common. Other options are white margarine and fondant. As for the flavor, butter cream wins, hands-down. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have earned the title of ‘most preferred cake icing’.
4. Consider your time frame.
Did you know how long it takes to make a complex, personalized wedding cake design? It takes months! Wedding cakes in Toronto usually are ordered three months in advance! This period is justifiable because the wedding cakes in Toronto are considered one of the best in the country. If you have the luxury of time, then go for it. Get a personalized cake! Otherwise, you had better stick to the traditional designs then add a bit here and there to make your traditional cake as personal as it can get.
5. Think about your pocketbook.
As special as your wedding cake may be, it should not eat up the biggest portion of your budget. It’s just cake. It’s one of the accents of the main event; it is not the event. If you are on a limited budget, consider this: sponge cakes cost less than all others. Choose a sponge cake and pay to have it richly decorated. However, you might be one of those who prefer to satisfy the palette more than the eyesight. If you are, choose rich cakes and ease up on the decorations. Remember, the wedding cake is NOT the wedding.
