Wedding Cakes Baltimore Venues Have To Offer

By Linda Ruiz


Your wedding date is nearing and the one task you have left is to select a cake for your reception. The wedding cakes Baltimore bakeries have to offer are extensive and you will have a trying time in choosing the perfect one from all the choices that are available.

Your number one consideration is the budget available and closely related to this is the size of the creation. It is always prudent not to purchase enough servings for the entire guest list unless you really want leftover cake. The general rule of thumb is to order only for about two-thirds of those expected as many will have other parties and events to attend and leave early while many attendees won't even take a slice.

There are so many different and exciting styles to choose from. Layered creations are the most common with one, two, three or more layers. Satellite styles will have several small ones with one large creation in the middle. Some will have intricate icing designs while others may be decorated with pastel icing blooms or even real flowers. Toppers may consist of figurines, more fresh flowers, inverted brandy glasses with flowers or figures inside, or wedding bells.

The flavor of this creation is very important. The bride may love chocolate while the groom prefers plain vanilla. Come to a compromise and alternate layers of both favorites. Or you can choose a marble cake, which mixes the two flavors in distinctive and tasty swirls. Make all the children at the event happy with both chocolate and vanilla cupcakes.

There are so many different icings to choose from. Your goal is to find one that will effectively complement the flavor and style of your cake selections. White mountain frosting, a butter cream or a fondant - this are just a few of a multitude of choices you will have.

Fillings are also a choice that must be made. Some will select the icing as a filling while others may choose a fruit filling between the layers. Some common but scrumptious choices are lemon, strawberry, and raspberry. Many a bride will also option to have chocolate dipped strawberries around the base of her cake for an extra taste of sweetness.

Delivery arrangements are also very important. Specify that once the pastry is put in place that it not be moved for any reason as it may not hold up if it is moved. Assign specific individuals who understand the process to cut the cake. They need to know how to look at a crowd and estimate how many slices are needed and then cut accordingly. They must also know how to take the layers apart, save all the cake columns and other pieces, and store the top tier safely for the bride and groom's very first anniversary.

Selecting the creation of your dreams can be a challenge but it can be done with the help of professionals. Take the necessary time to find exactly what you want for your special day. Ask for samples of both the cake and the icing so you can choose what fits your personal preference and the style of your wedding and reception.
