CUSTOM CAKES
The design and flavors of wedding cakes have made dramatic changes over the past several years. While you can still choose a traditional, white cake with white icing, the choices you have today are much more elegant and flavorful. Keep in mind that when it comes to your choice of wedding cake, there is no wrong or right, merely what you prefer, and what coordinates best with your type of wedding as it applies to when thinking of my wedding day.
One option to consider is to have a pastry chef create a custom cake for your wedding. This professional is specially trained, making unique cakes. Another outstanding option, although a bit more expensive, is to hire a confectionary artist. This art dates back to England and spans over the past 150 years. More and more couples are turning to this option in that the designs are breathtakingly beautiful. Rather than ice or decorate the cake, a confectionary artist actually sculpts the cake. If you think you might want to go this route, remember that demand is high. Therefore, you need to book as far out as possible.
The confectionary artist focuses on one or more different forms such as a garden, flowers, stained glass, or abstract designs. As a means of developing this skill, these confectionary artists travel around the globe to learn all they can about this very special art form. They will attend gardening shows, flower exhibits, study books, and so on, all to perfect their skill.
