Tips for arranging layered or multi-tiered wedding cakes – part II

There are around three or four tiers in a majority of stacked wedding cakes. In fact, putting in layers instead of one big, single layered cake has been quite popular as a trend. In the previous blog, we worked out initial steps for arranging a layered or multi-tiered wedding cake.

We continue from where we left off:

Having placed the markings at the corners of an imaginary a square within the measured diameter, a wooden dowel is pushed through a marking on the bottom cake until it touches the cake board base.
Next, mark the precise height of the bottom cake on the dowel. Take it out of the cake. The next step involves cutting the removed dowel off at the marked height with a craft knife.
Repeat measuring the (bottom) cake layer height – carefully marking and cutting the balance three dowels. In the end, all four dowels are of the same length. This is according to the bottom cake height.
Push the dowels into the wedding cake where the bottom layer carries the holes. Leave them in the cake. Put the second cake board (according to the size) on the work surface.
Sprinkle icing. Put the next cake layer on the new cake board. Here the earlier the measuring & dowel cutting procedure is repeated depending on the number of layers of the cake.
Stack together all the layers. Decorate the cake. (The final layer is not measured.) Work on each layer separately to avoid causing any damage to them.

Get a custom made wedding cake topper to match your tastes

It would be quite interesting to take a look at the intriguing evolution of cake toppers that have now become an invariable element of every wedding celebration. The cake topper had become fashionable by the 1890s and found place in elaborate wedding ceremony arrangements.

It could be a beautiful bell or initials or a captivating cupid or simply a bride and groom representation. They became more common in the 1920s. There was also a reflection of the contemporary times in their design. For example, wedding cakes often carried grooms dressed in uniform as toppers during the period of World War II. A cake topper had almost turned into an integral element of a wedding cake by the 1950s. Grooms then might be in top hat and tails, whereas brides also followed the wedding-dress fashions of the times. Now you can find several imaginative expressions in creatively conceived toppers. Those, who wish to impart a sweet and romantic touch, go for ravishing red roses. In essence, your taste and style quotient should ideally reflect in the wedding cake topper selection.

Wedding cakes have a long mesmerizing history

Wedding cakes have a long mesmerizing history. They are an integral part of folklore and heritage. Gradually, they became an inseparable element of every wedding ceremony. In fact this is one tradition present in one form or another in almost every culture, albeit with some variations.

In the United States and Western countries, for example, the wedding cake is traditionally frosted with elegant white frosting and has lots of floral decorations. Then classically at the top of the wedding cake are a husband and wife. The couple is called the wedding cake topper. The custom of a wedding cake began in ancient Rome as a loaf of wheat or barley cake (bread). The bride and groom ate a bite of the cake, then the groom broke the cake over the bride's head. By the 1700s, a sweet cake with soft white icing was popular. In 1840, Queen Victoria's wedding cake was covered with a stiff white icing that's still called "royal icing." The queen's cake was made in layers, so that became the fashion. In contemporary contexts, the concept of ‘Dream Wedding’ may well mean different things to different couples. One bride may envision a small ceremony on the beach complete with nique wedding favors that coordinate with the beach theme. Another bride may wish for a large cathedral wedding with all of the formal trimmings. No matter what your "Dream Wedding" entails, Wedding Collectibles is here to help your dreams become a reality. We offer a broad and unique selection of unique wedding favors, wedding figurines, cheap cake topper, and wedding accessories.
