Fondant Wedding Cake
Fondant: Don't You Want Your Guests to Eat Your Wedding Cake?
There are so many cake designs to chose from when shopping around for a cake for your wedding reception and some new brides may be lead astray. Some may want to go for the traditional look of buttercream icing and others favor the sophisticated style of fondant.
Fondant is somewhat misleading because it has such a sleek look, but a less than desirable taste. Some cake makers warn cake buyers of the downfalls of fondant, but others love to make the higher priced cake. The one benefit that fondant offers is that it seals out all air from the cake with the rolled layer of dough-like icing.
However, most reception-goers look forward to enjoying the tasty cake, where fondant disappoints many. Fondant is made up of such a high content of confectioner s sugar that it takes on purely that flavor. On many occasions when fondant was used, the guest simply discarded the peelable layer. Also, fondant is heavy and requires a very sharp knife and a careful hand as to not smash the cake while cutting it. Fondant is more expensive than typical buttercream icing used in decorating cakes.
With so many things to consider and so many beautiful possibilities, it is cheaper, tastier and easier to choose a traditionally iced cake rather than spending extra money on a cake sealing layer, which more than likely won t be eaten by your guests.
How do I make my own stacked wedding cake?
Ok, so my wedding is over a year away but I am starting everything now. I live in a very northern town, we are busy, but with not enough business and services. I want to have a fondant wedding cake. No one does these here, well there is one girl, but her cakes taste like crap.
I am going to make my own cake. So I want to do a 3 or 4 tier cake and I was wondering if I am to stack them right on top of each other how I go about doing this, you know the ones with no spaces. I have a pretty heavy chocolate fudge cake I want to use (yes they are traditionally white, but hey, I am wearing a red dress!) So anyways, how to I keep the cake from sinking into each other.
It's not that I am cheap, hell I would spend 500 bucks on a cake if thats what it took, but there is no one up here that does cakes the way I want and I know I will kick but at it as I already kick but at normal cakes. I will be doing a test run of this first to make sure my wedding day is perfect.
I just wanted to remind people that there is no real places in my area that can do these cakes.
I also wanted to add that the reason the one girls cakes taste like crap is because the cake itself tastes like crap, not the icing.
I am marrying a great guy, no need to rethink here. We both are college educated with wonderfull careers and a beautiful house. We have been together for 7 years this july and we would like to have a family now so I think we are at the age of readiness and responsiblity, no need to worry.
I also wanted to let you guys know when I say north I mean the REAL NORTH. I live in northern Canada!
However I think I may still look around to see if someone else can do it. I just want it done right.
