Designing your Dream Wedding Cake
Here are some thoughts that can help you design your cake!. I am here to help you make your dream cake come true. Don't settle for a generic, mass-produced cake. A little bit of time spent in the initial consultation with Blue Sky Cake Designs, and the work Mindy will do with you after booking, will make your cake memorable!
Get Inspired!
You can find many good ideas on the internet. Take it in small doses, so that you don't get overwhelmed! Bridal magazines and cake decorating books, available at your public library, are also good sources of ideas. Mindy has many ideas which will be available at the initial consultation, as well. Keep the following in your mind:Your wedding dress, your bridesmaids' dresses, your flowers, your colors.
Basics-Architecture
The design of your wedding cake will involve architecture to support the art.The shape of your cake is probably the first thing which will determine the design of your cake. Mindy has all traditional shape ideas, plus many of the new, avante garde ideas (comma, teardrop, Triangle, ball, etc….)
Do you want a cake with tiers that are separated or stacked directly on top of each other? You can also do a combination, with some tiers raised up and others stacked. You can also combine different shapes. Mindy will advise you about what is technically possible & pleasing if you wish.
Icing
Buttercream Basic price is buttercream. There's nothing "basic" about this delicious buttercream. Whipped 40 minutes per batch, it is light & delicious!
Fondant Mine is made from scratch. Never from the silver vac-pac bag. It's sweet. There's no compromising that. But the look is unequalled if you desire smoothness. The price will, of course, correspondingly increase, due to the necessary handling & skill required.
Silk Meringue This is available under circumstances which the Designer may deem appropriate. Due to egg content, this is not available for any situation which may pose a microbiological risk to the guests.
