When considering the perfect cake for your wedding, think about having two tier cakes, a four-tier cake and maybe even a dessert selection that would make you say “wow”. Two tier cakes in London come in a variety of flavors. Twisting and crushing or fondant are the options that will provide you with unique flavor combinations and make your cake truly unique. Two tier cakes can be decorated in numerous ways with different themes such as animals, birds, flowers, fairies, cartoon characters, sports teams, butterflies, planets, and even wedding rings. Your choice of cake should reflect the theme you have chosen and help set the mood and tone of your special day. You might find yourself choosing a cake that symbolizes love, or a desert cake that reflects the theme of your destination wedding.
Tier Cakes
Two tier cakes with a maximum of four tiers are now out and slightly smaller four-tier cakes are in and even smaller twitterer cakes are available. Smaller wedding cakes still look impressive and elegant with the perfect design. Two tiers, layered cakes are best for wedding receptions held at indoor locations where light can stream into the reception hall and the cakes can be served in a specially designed cupcake tin. A wedding cake at a garden venue could look elegant with just a plain layer of fresh flowers on top to add some color to the table.
Varieties of Traditional Wedding Cakes
There are several varieties of traditional wedding cakes with two tier cakes being the most popular. When selecting wedding cakes, it is best to choose wedding cakes that are made from good quality ingredients and will taste as good as they look. Some examples of good quality wedding cakes include freshly baked Marzipan and handmade artisan cakes from some bakeries in London.
Two-Tier Design
One of the most popular wedding cake types is a square or two-tier design with just one flat layer of cake. Cakes in this category have a simple but elegant appearance and are great for wedding receptions. The most popular options in this category are the Classic Romantic Pompon and the classic White Shimmer Topaz. Pompon cakes are usually available at most supermarkets and are decorated with marzipan or fondant covered cream flower cake and sometimes even a fondant flower hand painted by the baker. It is very common to see cream coloured frosting used on a Pompon cake.
Classic Love Cake
The Classic Love cake is also in this category and the most popular variety is the white shaded Topaz. These wedding cakes look absolutely stunning when presented in a stunning crystal chrome fondant base with fresh flowers on each tier. This option is also available at most supermarkets and can be decorated with fresh flowers, marzipan or lace. A white fondant frosting is occasionally used to enhance the effect of the Topaz.
Unusual Cakes for Weddings
The most unusual cakes for weddings are the odd shaped 2 x 1 x4 mini cakes and two tier fondant filled starters. These unusual wedding cakes feature either a long or short rectangle section covered in fondant. They can be made from any of the main wedding cake varieties. The most popular option would be the 2 x 1 x4 mini cakes which are very easy to make. You simply use a 9-inch square of your baseboard to line each square of the mini cake and then use four or five starches to make finger sandwiches on each side.
