Tips to consider when choosing the best wedding cake
Find the right baker
After conjuring some ideas for the cake, the next thing is to find the right baker. Your caterer is the first port of call. If he or she cannot bake it, he or she may just be able to recommend a baker. For recommendations, you can also turn to your couple friends who are newly wedded. In case you happen to know of a good bakery, approach them and find out if they also make wedding cakes. Another way to search for wedding cakes in Orange County is to ask the vendors you’re already working with. For example, your Orange County wedding photographer may know of a reputable baker.
You want to check out samples of decorations that you want. These include marzipan and gum-paste fruits. Not only will the right baker follow your wishes to the latter but he or she can also tell you whether or not your visions are realistic. For example, you may select fruits that are not necessarily in season. Or, frosting may not stand up in humidity.
There are certain types of cakes that will take days when being decorated. It may happen that a couple wants perishable fillings such as strawberries. Alternatively, the couple may want whipped cream. As an experienced baker will tell you, these fillings only work with a straightforward cake that can be baked in a day.
Taste and appearance of the cake
This is another very important thing that you need to consider when choosing the best cake for your wedding. Magazines and even the internet have lots of inspiration for look and appearance of cakes. You want something that will be good to look at and at the same time appealing to your guests.
The appearance of the cake as well as its taste is determined by your reasons for the cake. Is it just a simple decoration for the wedding cake? If you are expecting more than 500 guests, and that you will give the cake out as a desert to each guest, the taste should not worry you.
Another aspect of appearance of the cake is style and color. Choose the style and color of your wedding cake to the wedding theme or color scheme of the wedding. Also, you need to take into account the subtle touches of color in the decoration. After all of the hours you’ve spent trying on different wedding dresses in Orange County, you want to make sure the color of your cake goes well with your gown.
Taste:
Although fruit filling is a tradition, there are several options from which you can choose fillings. It is important that your choice of taste caters for all guests, even those with allergies. That’s just another tip when searching for wedding cakes in Orange County.
The stage of planning
The wedding cake ought to complement the color scheme as well as the theme of the wedding. Ideally, it should be picked as early in the nuptials planning as possible. But if, for some reasons, the wedding cake is picked later, then you need to consider the stage of planning that the wedding is in. If, for instance, you pick the wedding cake after selecting the wedding dress, venue and flowers, you need to ensure that the color of your wedding cake compliments the color of these items.
3 Mistakes to avoid when choosing a wedding cake
• Avoid trying to please everyone.
While it is important to accommodate as many guests as you can, it is not practical to please all of them. The key thing is to be guided by what you like especially when it comes to the cake flavor.
• Avoid micromanaging your baker.
Sometimes, your cake decorator may strongly discourage the use of a specific element of design. Most likely, their stance is based on some factors. As a couple, you need to listen to recommendations that the decorator may offer. Sometimes, it could be for the best. Do not insist on your elements even if it is against the wishes of the expert. Make sure you at least listen to the bakers who are experts when it comes to Orange County wedding cakes.
• Avoid last minute rush
Since the wedding cake is so central in the whole process of the nuptials, it is something that you need to take very seriously. Start the process of choosing the cake right at the beginning. Ideally, this should be some 6 months before the wedding. Ideally, you’ll want to start looking soon after you’ve decided which of the wedding venues in Orange County you’re going to be celebrating at.
These tips should help you during your quest to find the best of the wedding cakes in Orange County.
