What is the right way to select a suitable wedding cake topper?

Splurging money without any thought and planning is not the right to selecting a suitable range of wedding day accessories. What this means is that you need not buy lavish spreads and decorative items to make the celebrations impressive. Everything can be subtle, simple and elegant, and yet it will leave behind a lasting memory if arranged and blended together with an underlying thought to it. Ideally, you should be adding a touch of class instead of just making everything gaudy and loud. You should rather try to be a bit more creative and innovative in your choice. The most appropriate way is to think of the overall profile and theme of wedding day instead of worrying about your budget.

Here are some additional tips to buy a right cake topper and other wedding day accessories on the web: •You should buy wedding cake toppers based on your wedding day theme, ambience and mood of the evening. •You may deliberate with your friends and family to define a unique theme for the evening. Their ideas as well as relevant inputs from the experts will help you a great deal while choosing the wedding cake and toppers. •Not each mass-produced accessory will meet your needs. A customized item carrying a touch of personalization will do the trick for you.

Useful tips for a tiered cup-cake

Eager couples often buy the tiers and decorate them along with the cup cake toppings on their own. This allows them to customize their wedding cake, according to the theme of the celebration that they have chosen.

We have already checked in brief some basic steps for a tiered cup-cake. One apparent benefit they offer is the opportunity for decorating the tiers according to your choice. Here are additional useful tips for a tiered cup-cake:

First and foremost, do not forget to freeze the cupcakes as well as cake and topping well in advance before the wedding day.
Next important piece of advice is to measure the tier as well as the cupcakes carefully to work out how many you actually need. Ensure that you place them close together. This will allow a better cake look.
Miniature type of cupcakes looks great instead of regular one. It fills out the tiers better than the latter.
Instead of baking, buy a single layer cake, and miniature or plain regular cupcakes. Freeze and then ice them.
Carry the frozen cakes and also the Tier, to the wedding dinner venue. Place the frozen cakes carefully on the Tier, and decorate it as desired. Avoid using freshly baked cake or cupcakes. If they are kept frozen, it will help them remain firm until the coffee and wedding cake time.

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.

How to arrange layered or multi-tiered wedding cakes – part I

Wedding cakes, as you frequently must have seen, are made of several individual cakes. These individual layers are stacked elegantly and delicately - on top of each other – to add to their appeal as well as overall look and feel. This is not a new trend.

Just to elaborate, each stacked cake layer is termed a tier. These fine finished stacked cakes appear as if they are just set put on top of one another. This actually is not the case because if that was so, they would simply crumble under the weight. Layered or multi-tiered wedding cakes are stacked in such a way that the layers below get the necessary support. This is how they can be arranged to add to their beauty and appeal. Step 1: Put on the work surface the largest cake board. Step 2: Spread a bit of luscious icing right on the center of the board. Then place on the board the biggest cake layer. The icing holds it in place. Step 3: Mark the diameter of the cake’s second layer carefully just on the top of the (bottom) layer that is already put on the cake board. Step 4: Make a mark on the bottom layer using a toothpick or some other sharp object. Here the dowels will be arranged. Step 5: Visualize a square within the measured diameter. Now mark the four corners of the square. Place the markings at these corners.
