Wedding Cake Designs

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Wedding cake designs can come in many forms, from the usual cream or white icings in conventional designs, to wholly non-traditional designs laced with vibrant artistry.

With the passing of time, wedding cake designs have evolved. Couples are now choosing cupcake trees with greater frequency, which was one of the foremost wedding cake ideas. Yet, some still have a preference for the conventional cakes for their wedding cakes.

The size and design of the wedding cake may depend on a number of things, like the size of the wedding budget or the availability of other desserts in the reception.

Today, one can find pastry chefs who offer infinite wedding cake ideas on icings, decorations, construction, and flavors.

A wedding cake’s design can be a reflection of personal taste. A couple with a passion for cars or motorcycles can have wedding cakes reflecting the same; a small motorcycle accompanying the miniature figures of the couple atop the cake, for example.

The flavor of the wedding cake is another important aspect. No flavor is off-limits for the modern wedding. One can have cheesecakes, mousse-filled cakes, pound cakes, vanilla, chocolate or sponge cake.

Today, one can find competent bakers with the ability to create the lacy look of the bride’s dress with frosting or the use of pearls. With frosting, these bakers can duplicate the look of any part of the reception’s décor. Also, couples can have their initials entwined in the cake with frosting.

In Bermuda, wedding cakes have a little green tree as a cake topping. Following the wedding, the newlyweds can plant the same tree in their garden, and symbolically watch it grow with time.

Then there are other options like adding edible fruits, chocolates or nuts around the cake. This will augment the designs on the guests’ plates. For that matter, one can also use edible roses, lavender or oregano as designs, or non-edible flowers as cake toppings.

Buying Wedding Invitations Online

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Choosing wedding invitations online is a growing trend among future brides and there are a few good reasons for that. Following are three tips for finding the best deals on wedding invitation online in a jiffy.

What is so good about the internet when it comes to wedding invitations is that it allows you to do your research whenever you have time. No matter what time of the day it is, you can browse, compare different wedding invitation designs and solicit feedback from colleagues, friends or your future spouse. Compare this with the offline world where you either need to take a day off or visit the local print shop after work.

You are not only able to see hundreds of designs from different merchants, but also compare their offers. One disadvantage is that you can not touch them like you could if they were in a display book. It can also be hard to sort out legit wedding invitation merchants from fake ones. How do you know which one you can trust and give them your credit card number? Check the Better Business Bureau online to see if there has been any complaints filed and ask around on message boards about your chosen website.

Shop until you drop – even if you happen to find wedding invitations that you like on the first website that you visit, don’t stop there. It is quite possible that you will be able to find better deal on the same type wedding invitations on another website.

When you narrow down on two or three, ask for references, but keep in mind that they will reference you only to people that were happy with their work. It does not hurt to look up their names online and see if there is someone unhappy with them.

Once you choose wedding invitations that you like, order samples. You want to be sure that they look as well offline as online and you want to make sure that your wedding invitations could be delivered on time.
