Wedding cakes are appreciated by many guests. Nevertheless the moment at the party when the wedding cake rolls in is often the key and culminating element of the entire evening. Not only lovers of sweets and children are eagerly waiting for this moment. Many guests - e.g. aunts and grandmothers - often repeat "I wonder what the cake will be like" or rebuke excessive gourmets of strong drinks "to last at least until the cake". So this is undoubtedly an element of the wedding that none of the guests should miss. 

Wedding cakes - what to pay attention to?

When choosing wedding cakes, sweets and a wedding cake, we should first of all make sure that they not only look beautiful and captivate with a multitude of decorations. First of all, they have to taste good. What should you pay attention to when choosing wedding cakes and cakes? Here are our tips:

Choosing the right bakery. This is a key issue for us. The wedding expert of Dwór Korona Karkonoszy, Joanna Hoc-Kopiej, emphasizes: “By choosing a recognized and proven confectioner, we will not expose ourselves to unpleasantness during the wedding reception. It is worth trying different delicacies from the chosen place beforehand to see if your choice is right. Ask your loved ones what their favorites are. Let's invite the family for a mini tasting, thanks to which we will have an overview of what the guests may like the most. It is important that the delivery of the cake and cakes to the wedding is free of charge, and that the confectionery takes care of their transport in appropriate conditions. If the confectionery does not have a refrigerator for transporting baked goods, there is a great danger that the cake will arrive melted. And this also affects its taste and shelf life. In addition, remember to make sure that the wedding hall has a cake stand.

Choosing the right ingredients. When choosing a pastry shop, let's ask about the ingredients from which wedding cakes or cakes are made. We should pay special attention to their quality and origin. It may happen that the cakes that look the most impressive are filled to the brim with chemicals and artificial ingredients, and we don't want that! Colorful dyes look very impressive, but let's not be fooled! You can often replace them with natural ones that are healthy and tasty. Let's make sure that in the case of products for our wedding, the confectionery uses ingredients of natural origin. The main ingredients, such as eggs or cream for the custard, should come from local farms, because only thanks to this we can be sure that we serve our guests a delicacy of the highest quality.

It is also worth making sure that the wedding hall accepts cakes ordered from confectioners. In addition, the Bride and Groom should have a document showing the date of production of the cake, in case the guests have any problems after eating it. Usually, the wedding hall wants to be secured in this case - and rightly so.

Seasonal products. Let's remember that when we decide to get married in the summer, it not only equals a favorable aura outside the window, but it is also the peak of the fruit season! It is worth using what nature gives us the best. Pastries for a wedding can decorate, for example, strawberries, raspberries or blueberries. They are inexpensive and widely available fruits, and at the same time very versatile. Thanks to this, we have a guarantee that confectionery products made on their basis will be enjoyed by most guests. Fresh fruit is also a great addition to cake creams or mousses, which are used to translate pastries. So let's pay attention to whether the confectionery where we order wedding cakes or cake has fresh and natural fruit.

– A type of cake or pie. "All that glitters is not gold." We should avoid the "more is better" rule and choose wedding cakes and other pastries that are not too sweet and not with too much cream. Wedding cakes are most often served after dinner. However, at midnight, when the cake arrives, the guests have usually had many heavy dishes, a few dances and a few "deeper" ones, so the cake should be rather light so as not to make them feel bad or upset their stomachs. Let's make it impressive, but in moderation, especially with various additions and decorations, because this is often the reason for unwanted guests, i.e. artificial additions 😉 Exquisite taste and good quality, fresh ingredients will make the wedding cake defend itself. If the bride and groom want to make a special impression on the guests, we recommend it flaming cake option, which always works and produces the desired "wow" effect.

Wedding cakes - candy bar

Many couples choose the recently very fashionable Candy Bar, which fits perfectly into the atmosphere and theme of the wedding. The sweets prepared by the confectionery workshop are not only cakes. These are primarily colorful pralines, balls, lollipops, muffins, chocolates, cookies and all kinds of sweets that delight with their appearance! They can be decorated with various decorations, but also matched to the theme of the wedding. How? For example, in the style of a movie, the 80s or your favorite book theme.

A different style cake

Recently, innovations related to the wedding cake are very fashionable. Many young couples decide primarily to change the time of its administration. After midnight, the guests are already full and most of the cake ends up in the bin. Therefore, at many weddings, the cake is served right after dinner, in the form of dessert, which is liked by many wedding guests.

The form of the wedding cake also changes frequently. Just as traditional cakes began to be replaced with a professional candy bar, the cake also gained a slight refreshment. What's more, young couples choose not only fresh, fruit flavors, but also a different form of serving. More and more often we can meet a cake in the form of muffins, where each person gets one muffin, phenomenally decorated. Only the uppermost part of the cake is traditional, so that the rite of cutting the cake together remains unchanged. Such innovation can significantly reduce the cost of the cake, which is why it is a great alternative for couples looking for a fresh breeze at their wedding.

Once we have made the right selection of cakes and pies, all we have to do is provide our guests with the pleasure of enjoying the taste and aroma of sweet pastries that are included in our wedding menu. Celebration is always the most enjoyable part. Bon appetite!
