Benefits of Cream Wedding Cakes

Cream cakes is a broad concept that combines high desserts based on any dough, smeared with cream. Most often these are products on a biscuit basis, especially true for wedding cakes - crumbling dough will be impractical at such an event. However, puff or waffle pastry cakes well smeared with cream will be no less durable than biscuit.

Desserts based on yogurt, mastic, meringue, cottage cheese, as well as croquembush (balls of dough folded in a slide and smeared with caramel or cream) and cupcakes (small cupcakes of various shapes) can be considered competitors of a cream cake. The advantage of cream cakes over similar treats:

  1. Cream cakes have a stable, reliable shape, without losing tenderness. This can not boast products based on meringue or yogurt..
  2. Cream cakes have a large yield of the finished product, they are often made of biscuit dough, which is whipped, increasing in size several times. Cupcakes are also increasing, but their portioning does not allow to regulate the issuance, as a result, someone may not get a treat.
  3. Creamy hearty products. This is not true for meringue-based cakes that simply melt in your mouth. Many guests would like supplements, but there can’t be many, then such a cake should be huge, which is not practical.
  4. Cream cakes are moderately sweet. Mastic based cakes may seem cloying.
  5. Such cakes have great maneuverability in expressing ideas. They can be of any composition and be decorated as you like. The rest of the desserts are limited in this (either in form or in the main ingredient).

Cream Cake Wedding Tips

Choosing a wedding cake, you need to pay careful attention to appearance and taste, like a bride, this treat is an ornament of a wedding celebration, the central figure of a banquet. All eyes will be riveted to him, he should surprise everyone present, and also fit into the wedding concept. In order for the cake to perfectly play its role, it is necessary to pay attention to its size, color, decor, taste, semantic load, which it must bear. How to do it right?

Stand and number of tiers

Choosing a cream cake for a wedding, you need to plan the number of tiers of which the treat will consist. The number of levels will depend on the volume and weight of the cake. The weight of the treat is calculated according to the number of guests: if the cream is heavy, then 200 g per person, subtract the number of people who will not eat desserts (about 10 people from each hundred invited), and you will get about 8 kg per 50 people. If the cake is airy, light, then take half of this weight - that's enough.

If the dessert is airy and the total weight does not exceed 6 kg, then the tiers can be placed one on top of the other. If the product weighs more, then it is worth using a special stand-shelf, it is still convenient because it will be convenient for young people to remove the upper tier, designed specifically for them, from the pyramid, the tiers of which are located on top of each other.

Design color and filling

When ordering the filling, it is better to ask to make tiers of different levels of fat content and sweets, so that guests with diabetes, dieters, as well as children, can try this delicacy. However, in taste, such changes should not be reflected. What size tier should be dietary, calculate the number of guests who will use it.

Design can be completely different. It is usually customary to make wedding sweets in pastel tones (beige, pink) or snow-white. In recent years, they have been moving away from this tradition, making cakes close to natural, metallic or ombre colors (smoothly moving from a light shade to a more saturated one), to the shade of a bride’s dress or bouquet, or to match the decor of the room.

Decoration and decoration

Decoration and decoration can be completely different. Pastry chefs are real artists who can create a unique masterpiece. To do this, use mastic, cream, caramel, cream, chocolate and other materials. Recently, cakes with ruffles are considered fashionable (they made side decoration of products with a cream), classic shapes, decorated with fresh flowers or berries, cylindrical, trimmed with silver or gold, high cakes with a pronounced lack of decoration («natural»), tiers with geometric painting.

Jewelry can be absolutely copyrighted and reflect the hobbies of the young, the place of the first meeting, the future common house or the theme of the celebration. They also experiment with figures of young people who are depicted in their original form or pose, can have portrait similarities or are replaced by figures of an abstract but thematic nature (for example, two snowboarder penguins, if they met at a ski resort). Such jewelry reflects the personal characteristics of the couple, symbolically show the love story of the bride and groom.
