After all, a skilled cake designer makes a lasting impact on the guests. His visiting card will be demanded by many, if the taste is extraordinary!
You have to be a creative artist to be a good cake-maker. You will have your briefing from the groom/bride, but that is only one part. You have to form a total picture, taking into consideration their suggestions and views. The important question of the day would be, “Who made the cake?”
If it is a frown, you are out. If it is a smile, you are most welcome!
In theme weddings, the importance of the cake matters a lot. In medieval cakes, it is done with pearls and a golden crown. The adventure-loving couple prefer a bike or a helicopter or a plane! A diamond lover, more exactly a diamond merchant would like to have a big diamond, on the wedding cake.
In Victorian Weddings, a bow or rose qualities of that era could be well engrossed on the cake. It can contain anything. From a simple beautiful rose, bird-of-paradise, sunflower, replica of the bridal bouquet to anything of the latest craze and appeal!
The appeal of the season also counts. What the designer would do for a cake in summer would not be executed in the winters.
Indeed the cake-planning is done weeks in advance. The cake-maker like to make each marriage, each cake, memorable. It is his business as well as personal satisfaction. If he can make hundreds of hearts happy, I think that it is his best reward.
Making a wedding cake is no cakewalk for the cake-maker! Till the last moment, he has his anxieties unrest!
A wedding cake is not complete, without the wedding cake topper. It is the final round for completion of the cake. Here again, the choice before the cake-maker is endless. Interlocking hearts, rings, doves and the material used for topper can be glass or porcelain. It will most probably occupy a pivotal place in your showcase, as the souvenir of your wedding.
In fine line, what is a wedding cake? It is a mixture of beauty, skill and imagination- and your reward! The appreciation of the bride and the groom!
