When it comes to weddings, next to the bride and groom, wedding cakes are the ones that fall under much scrutiny from the guests. Reflecting the love, style, theme, and personality of the couple, wedding cakes have a lot riding on them. That is why there is a lot that goes into styling wedding cakes especially in New York where weddings are bigger, grander, and more dramatic. So how can you get that perfect style for your New York wedding cakes?
There are a lot to consider when it comes to the style of wedding cakes. Forget the flavor of the cake, there are things like the overall theme, the decorations, the color, etc. that need to be figured out. But just by deciding on things one at a time you can still get to decide on that perfect wedding cake without sacrificing its flavor and taste.
The very first thing that you should decide on when it comes to the perfect wedding cake is actually when your wedding will be. Weddings happen all year long and especially in the Big Apple where weddings are scheduled by the season, it is important to make your wedding cake timely, appropriate for the season that your wedding falls under. Here there are your four options: spring, summer, autumn, or winter – simple.
The next thing that needs to be thought out is the more complicated one – the theme. For a bride that has not been planning her wedding since she was a child, like some of the women do, selecting the theme of the wedding cake can be downright confusing. Almost anyone can get overwhelmed with the choices when it comes to the themes. However you can easily narrow down your choices by simply using a few simple words in selecting the theme of the wedding cake. The key words that you need are:
Elegant
Floral
Modern
Monogrammed
Romantic
Simple
Dramatic
Choose among any of these words that will reflect your sense of style when it comes to the cake. When you mention one or two of these words to your baker or wedding cake decorator, he or she will be able to filter through the many choices, making theme-selecting a lot easier.
The next thing that you should consider is the overall color of the wedding cake. The cake’s fondant is one of the most magical things that can grace a cake – take full advantage of it by deciding on its color so that your wedding cake will be totally customized to your liking. When all of this is said and done, you are through the forest. The only thing that you need to decide on now is the flavor and all it takes is a simple taste test.
