Wedding cake: just dessert or something bigger

Wedding cake – the same attribute of a holiday of newlyweds, as well as a wedding dress, champagne or repayment of the bride. And if is planned to organize not a just small celebration on the occasion of a wedding, and the real banquet, then it is worth thinking over what main dessert of evening will be, its structure and elements of a decor can tell a lot of things about young people.

On the one hand, wedding cake – only dough, cream, fruit, nuts and other. But culinary art in the same degree is subject to fashion, as styles of dresses or model of cars. Therefore today young people give preference to low-calorie desserts with fruit, soft creams and layers of souffle instead of the impregnated biscuit. Especially as after a long feast not everyone will be able to pass test by cake with oil cream or a thick layer of a condensed milk.

Besides, as new technologies concerned also such conservative type of cook activity as creation of wedding desserts, it should be taken into account that the decor of delicacy can be made of the shining mastic, or is applied to translucent caramel on a surface of cake layers by means of chocolate velors dusting.

On the other hand, as sweet appears the last in the wedding menu, it is necessary that guests wanted to eat it. For this reason the form in this case is often more important than contents, cake has to be very beautiful. Often brides want it to be combined with a dress. If earlier the dessert was taken out to the banquet hall only at the end of the festive evening, then now it more often have in a visible place where he waits for the hour. So cake is also a part of an interior, the general furniture of the room. To replace massive cakes in the form of a circle or heart, many-tier constructions came, and each of following "floors" has own taste and is decorated in own way. But, despite all extending possibilities of culinary specialists, the weight of such difficult delicacy shouldn't exceed seven kilograms. Otherwise, for creation of cake it is necessary to use separate podstavochka. Traditionally at top of wedding cake figures of the groom and the bride have, they, as a rule, are inedible and are given to young people as a souvenir. It is also often possible to meet desserts with hearts, with figurines of pigeons or swans. Modern technologies allow to print the photo of the groom and bride on a cake surface, but such ornament is pleasant not to all as not each couple is ready to cut and offer guests for eating up of the image of own faces. An important role is played by color scale in which cake is issued. Contrary to expectations, organizers of weddings and culinary specialists warn young people against the choice of a traditional white dessert as during shooting the volume details of a decor will be greased and will lose in visual perception, and in an album of each couple there have to be photos in which young people cut wedding cake. As jewelry there were popular real candied flowers, scatterings of culinary beads, a butterfly or buds from caramel recently.
