Specialty Cakes

Can't quite decide on what type of cake you want? Here's a few things to consider when making that sweet decision.

Design: The design refers to the way your cake is built. For an old-fashioned look, you may choose to stack your wedding cake, setting layer directly upon luscious layer. For that fairy tale wedding, you might set your tiers on columns for a grand pillared look. Or, you may decide on a flat cake, baked in an interesting shape or meaningful pattern.

Decoration: Whether your dream cake is modern or traditional, ornate or simple, chances are it will feature carefully-crafted decorations. Sugar paste is the principal medium for most wedding cake decoration, though fruit, flowers, and fondant creations are also very popular.

Filling: Filling is the yummy spread between cake layers, literally, to fill the cake in. Filling can be anything from jam, cream, frosting, icing, chocolate, mousse, fruit, buttercream, cream cheese and more. It can be one flavor or a combination of flavors making your cake extra flavorful.

Flavor: Not only should a wedding cake look amazing, it should taste amazing, too. Determining the flavor of your cake is yet another opportunity for you both to showcase your tastes and round off a tasteful reception menu with an exceptional treat. The most popular wedding cake flavors are lemon, vanilla, chocolate, yellow, spice and carrot. However, if your tastes lean toward the exotic and you have retained the services of a talented pastry chef, cake flavor options are limited only by the imagination.
