Wedding Cakes Chocolate

here is something about chocolate; something that has to do with sensuality, with desire, but not lust, just a kind of desire that has to do with a certain elegance of the feelings, of some hidden sensations that are concealed in our deepest sides of our beings. I remember I have seen a movie that defined very well these features of the chocolate, movie called how else if not “chocolat”, the French equivalent of the chocolate, because the story actually takes place in France. Maybe it wouldn’t have been another better location to be found, considering that French people have actually this sensuality deepened in their nation as a whole, and the theme of the movie is bringing it to the surface.

But not only French are known to be passionate when it comes to love, but also wedding couples when it comes to planning their wedding. On this occasion they put all their efforts and love in the purpose to generate the most beautiful wedding ever, the guests offering the chance to taste the delight of a memorable day. Planning all the details for the wedding the couple is put through a lot of trials, only the power of love gives them the strength to carry on.

What is there to display in a wedding beside the wedding rings to symbolize love, commitment and sharing? Not too many couples are aware of the symbol that a wedding cake carries within; just take a little time and think about it. First of all the wedding cake can be created in a very descriptive manner, to symbolize through its color, decoration and perhaps flavor love. The other symbol is carried by the cutting of the cake itself; remember the gesture of the couple holding together the knife? It is a perfect union to signify the support each other is offering and will offer during their future life together. Remember what is there to follow this symbolic gesture? It is the slice of cake that they feed each other with, symbolizing the commitment they agree to take for the rest of their life, it is the extension of that commitment that had set the start of their wedding ceremony and now closing the reception.

In this perspective the developing of a wedding process is somehow cyclic, it begins with the commitment a wedding couple is taking while reaching for their rings and it ends up with the same commitment that they take while sharing the cake’s slice. And as it was mentioned before, there is something about chocolate, something that has to do with passion and deep love and selecting wedding cakes chocolate as the closing act of a wedding celebration seems to be a good choice. There is a wide range of wedding cakes decorated in brown chocolate or white chocolate as well, but still the brown version is a better choice on icing, rendering the perfume of a love that is shared with all the invitees that had witnesses your big event.

Yellow Wedding Cakes

Cakes no matter how you choose to decorate them are yummy. People are used to follow the patterns of decorations in the purpose to render their cakes a special aspect that draw the line of distinction from other cakes. The cakes which are the most often used for the sake of decoration are the wedding cakes. They follow the rules of the wedding theme, if the case, or simply seek to borrow a feature from the couples’ personality. For instance a summertime wedding can use a colorful range of decorations both with flowers and other elements that constitute the composition of the wedding’s atmosphere.

And one of these elements is the wedding cake; its presence delivers a real delight to the wedding table and if the period of the wedding is summertime a fresh and joyful color for the cake’s icing is recommended. Yellow can be a good choice and offers at the same time a playful feeling while used in painting or decorating.

Yellow bears within itself contradictory meanings from the most joyful one as happiness and the opposed to it the deceit. There is also the “yellow” appellative to describe a person who is coward. Different cultures have different meanings for this color, such as Egyptian culture to represent the color for mourning, whereas Japanese culture sees it to reflect courage. They say that yellow has a real effect on our mental and physical life, stimulating our nervous system and encouraging communication.

When used as decorative color for wedding cakes it is better to combine it with orange for summery, healthy theme or green to convey a fruity color palette. Yellow wedding cakes shine with happiness, enlightenment and optimism meant to confer the promise of a positive future, instilling energy and creative thoughts. In the yellow decorations bakers are putting their imagination at work in order to find the most beautiful and joyful combination to complement the aspect of your wedding cake.

The yellow wedding cake looks at its best when other colored accessories are used to render a better definition in terms of contrast and picturesque image. In this regard bakers utilize also fresh flowers to add substance to the wedding cake, one of which is the sunflower that makes a perfect match for a summer time wedding celebration. Colored silk ribbons with green plants are also nice accessories to define a fresh and joyful aspect to your wedding cake.

Different types of wedding cakes are available in 2, 3 tiers with colored organza ribbons wrapped around every tier which makes it perfect for a spring wedding theme. Another decoration looks nice when using handcrafted yellow sunflowers which works perfect for a country themed wedding.

Wedding Cake

The cost of a wedding cake varies by type of cake, the kind of baker and geographic region.

Typical costs:

    * The average cost of a wedding cake is $543, according to The Bridal Association of America.

    * For wedding cakes, most bakeries and pastry chefs charge by the slice. A low-end option would be a smaller tiered cake in chocolate or vanilla paired with a sheet cake for cutting for around $1.50 a slice.

    * A mid-range two- or three-tiered cake in a standard flavor such as chocolate, vanilla, carrot cake or lemon poppy seed with buttercream icing and minimal fondant decorations can run $5 or $6 a slice.

    * A high-end multi-tiered gourmet cake with flavored fillings, fondant icing and elaborate fondant, gum paste and sugar decorations can run $10 or more per slice.

Additional costs:

    * Decorations make a big difference in the per-slice cost. Fresh flowers are one of the easiest and least expensive ways to decorate a cake.

    * Fondant, which can cover a cake in a smooth, satiny shell, is one of the most expensive; it can add $1 or more per slice. Elaborate fondant decorations increase the price even more.

    * Cheesecakes and cakes with nuts, dried fruits or special cream fillings can add $1 or more per slice.

    * Most tiered wedding cakes must be delivered and assembled on site by the baker or a staff member to prevent a cake mishap, and delivery charges can be $50 to $100 or more, depending on distance and size of cake.

    * Some caterers charge a cake-cutting fee when figuring the total cost of your wedding cake. Cake-cutting fees can run $1 or more per slice.

Discounts:

    * Check to see whether your caterer can serve as your cake baker; big catering companies and hotels often employ an in-house pastry chef. By going this route, you could eliminate cake cutting and delivery fees. TheWeddingChannel.com offers tips for saving on a cake.

    * If you want the look of a tall, tiered wedding cake without the price, ask your baker to put one tier of real cake, which you will cut into, on top of fake tiers made of Styrofoam and icing; then have a sheet cake waiting in the back to be cut.

    * If you are on a strict budget, the Association for Wedding Professionals International suggests looking for a wedding cake baker who is fairly new to the business or attending a wedding show if you decide to sign a contract that day. The AWPI lists wedding shows by region.

Shopping for a wedding cake:

    * Ask to see a portfolio, and ask for references. Weddings.About.com provides a list of questions to ask a prospective cake designer.

    * Tip: Try to arrange cake tastings with several bakers before choosing one. Many bakers offer free tastings, but some charge a small fee.

    * Tip: Start shopping around for a baker well in advance of your wedding date. Most bakers will do only a few weddings per week, so dates book up quickly.

    * TheKnot.com offers a list of wedding cake bakers by city.

The Wonderful Taste of Wedding Cake

Weddings can be exciting occasions. They are events to be celebrated and widely remembered. If you are a guest at one of these weddings then likely the only thing you will remember (other than the name of the friend that got hitched) is the kind of food that was offered at the reception. Believe it or not, most people remember what kind of food they had, how it tasted, and the kind of service they received. If the service was good and the food delicious then they will likely have fond memories of the wedding. If not, then they might not have a pleasant time remembering the day their friend got the ball and chain. 

When it comes time to plan your own wedding then you should do yourself and your guests a favor by getting wedding catering from an outstanding service company. Not only will you be able to keep your guests happy, but you can rest assured that they will take care of all of the food needs promptly and efficiently. One thing that good wedding catering companies will do is usually offer a few different meal or treat options for your guests to be able to appeal to a wider variety of people. Not everyone can eat meat, dairy, or wheat, and many times people have a lot of different taste preferences. Obviously, you will not be able to make everyone happy but having a few different options will at least lessen the chances of people not being able to eat anything while they are there.

One good thing to do when trying to reduce the costs that come along with hiring a wedding catering company is open it up to a buffet style meal. The fact of the matter is that the more staff you have helping your guests, the more money it is going to cost. If you have a buffet style reception then you can just have a few appetizers and desserts without having people wait hand and foot on your guests.
