Wedding Cakes

Years ago, the only suitable wedding cakes for a wedding were white cakes with white icing and maybe a few flowers thrown on here and there for decoration. Fortunately, times have changed and the wedding cakes of today are a varied as the weddings that they are intended for. Now, they can be an explosion of color, coordinated to the colors of the wedding party and reflecting the tastes of the bride and groom. These cakes are only available by specialized bakeries or caterers in many cities, but they can easily be customized to look any way that the customer desires.

The most popular types of wedding cakes are the tiered cakes. These are typically three or four tiers high with decorations strategically placed around the cake. Tiered cakes typically have a white icing as a base and use colorful flowers, lattices, and stars to create the look that the customer wants. Most bakeries, caterers, and wedding planners will have a variety of designs for wedding cakes that the customer can choose from. The icing that is used to decorate the cakes is easily colored with dyes and can be made in any color that the customer chooses.

Another one of the most popular types of wedding cakes are the theme cakes. These are generally used when the wedding is focused around a central theme. Themes that may be used for the wedding include Victorian, medieval, tropical paradise, and themes based off of television shows or movies. The cakes may be created using plastic figurines central to the theme along with icing decorations to further enhance the visual effects of the cake. In many cases, the cakes may not even look like the traditional concept of a cake. It is amazing what an experienced baker can do with just cake and icing.

Wedding cakes are traditionally made with white cake, but now the cakes can be of any flavor designated by the bride and groom. If the couple wants an odd colored cake, such as a pink or green one, traditional white cake is used and food coloring is added to create the color that is needed. When it comes to cakes for weddings, the number of designs that can be used is virtually unlimited. By searching and being clear about what is wanted, cakes can be customized to match any type of wedding under the sun.
