Tips for your perfect Wedding cake

Wedding cakes. How many of u says that wedding cake is a compulsory on your big day? *count me in* ;)


If there's no cake cutting ceremony on ur wedding day, it wouldn't be perfect, no? Talking as a cake decorator perspective, there are so many ways if u wanna cut cost of the price of your wedding cake.

But, opt for a dummy base wouldn't really solve the budget issues. Eventhough u can't eat the dummy, the price normally will be about the same. Because, cake designer normally charge the price on each masterpiece are base on the design. The time they spent for a cake. Not really on the cost of raw material in baking the cakes. So i suggest, better to have the base using real cake rather than dummy.

Use fruit cake if u have extra budget. The reason why, fruit cake can last more than a year only if u store in a proper place(refrigerator). Sometimes, if u asked for 3tiers cake, you can't finished the cake. So there must be a leftover after the wedding. It'll be such a waste if u have to throw the leftover. Coz other cakes their lifespan is about a week. If u asked for fruit cake, u still can eat ur wedding cake even on your 1st year anniversary. lol.

Wedding cake is all about the height. Usually, wedding cake must have at least 3tiers. To have the height. But, if u have low budget, u can always request for a cake stand. Which it can elevate the cake to ur desire height. Talking bout competition perspective, if the cakes that they made doesn't meet the required height, they automatically disqualified. So that explained how important the height to a wedding cake is.

use a pillar to add in the height

errr....this is just too crowded n full with details. sometimes, less is more.

I've once read somewhere, they said, if u have low budget(everything also talking about budget) ask from the baker to do a simple deco for the cake. And the brides can decorate by themselves using fresh flowers or any other deco set. BUT...normally, cake decorator won't do that. Coz some people didn't know which type of flowers can actually be used for cake decorating. Coz some of the flowers are poisonous. If u don't have enough budget, opt for something simple. But not decorate it by urself :)

Designs. Base on designs the cake designer charge the price of ur cake. The more intricate the design, the more expensive ur cake will be. Some like it to have finest touch. More like British design. When u talk about British, u know how fine their handwork/artwork is. When it comes to string works, the price will rise up. Than opt for something smple like patchwork design. It can be nice too. Know ur cake designer 1st before u place order with them.

For my wedding cake. I guess i'll be doing my own wedding cake. People always said this to me, i normally did wedding cakes for people, when is the time i make it for my own self? So, i want my cake to be extra special. It'll such a waste when i have the knowledge of cake decorating but not use it for my own big day, aite? And it'd be such a pleasure to make it by myself rather than order ot from other cake decorators. :) Like i said, i want it to be extra special ;)

Since i learnt bout British technique, I think i want my wedding cake to have loads and loads of string works. Which are so fine and intricate. Sigh. pity la this bride later aite? Didn't get enough sleep coz need to deco her own cake. lol. But it's the satisfaction that counts, no?

though the cupcakes is so pretty, but i dont think i want more cupcakes as my wedding cakes :p
