If your big wedding day is coming up and everything is going the elegant route; your dress, the reception hall, even the church, you’re going to need to make sure you have one of the more elegant wedding cakes around.
When you think of elegant wedding cakes you need to think of how everything else is made elegant. What is it that makes your dress elegant? Most likely you’re looking at the finest softest textures available. What is it that makes you look elegant? How your hair flows, how your dress hangs, the jewelry you’re wearing, all of these items work together to make you look as elegant as possible. The same holds true for your wedding cake.
If you really want to leave a strong impression with the people at your wedding, you’re going to have to really go out of your way to make it look excellent. Remember, most of the people at your wedding have seen elegant cakes on TV time and time again. That’s who you’re competing with when you’re looking to create an elegant wedding cake. Of course seeing a cake in person is always going to be much more impressive so you do have that going for you.
Remember, an elegant wedding cake isn’t just about how it looks; it’s about how it tastes as well. Make sure you’re not cutting corners when it comes to preparing the actual cake. Use the finest ingredients available and make sure that the cake chef is well aware of the fact that you not only want this to look good you want it to taste incredible.
Let’s take a look at the pedestals. Depending on what look you’re going for, you may want to use gold or silver pedestals. You may even want to go with the platinum pedestal, depending on the feel of the actual cake. Remember, metals are going to be dramatic and need to match a dramatic looking cake. If you’re looking to go with something a little softer or lighter, think about using leaded crystal.
Once you have the pedestal or tiers figure it out the next step would be to accent the cake with accessories that match that feel. Beautiful metallic or crystal beads can be placed along the edges of the tiers or even the edge of the cake as long as they were moved before you eat. Beautiful beaded cake toppers are also a great option.
If you’re going for a metallic yet elegant look consider using gold powder or even gold flakes. Believe it or not gold is edible. A cake dusted lightly with gold powder gives off an amazing shimmer that people will remember. Gold foil can be used to accent different portions of the cake as well and is edible too.
When designing elegant wedding cakes never use anything imitation which could detract from the beauty of the cake. It’s got to be the real deal if it’s going to look elegant. Real gold, real silk, real leaded crystal, even real diamonds if you choose to go that route. Elegant says “I’m sparing no expense” and you better be hold true to that.
