Can you imagine making a cake without an electric mixer?
December 31, 2011 By 3 Comments
In the pre-electric-mixer day mixing a cake involved a lot of whipping the cake by hand. We usually didn’t have a hand cranked mixer that worked well, so this involved a large mixing spoon to whip it. Some old timers even counted the number of times they whipped the mixture – sort of made it fun and you didn’t notice your arm tiring.
No matter how you slice it,

you’re sure to find the perfect cake with these four tips.
- When looking for a cake designer, start early.
Begin your wedding cake designer search about three to six months before the wedding—even sooner if you want an in-demand pro. Some bakers’ schedule their wedding cake commitments about a year in advance. - Narrow your wedding cake search.
Many wedding cake designers showcase their creations on a web site, check it out to see if they design the kind of cake you want. Set up an appointment for a cake consultation and tasting. “Do not compromise taste for the look or price of the cake .” Wedding cake prices are based on the size of the cake, the amount of labor needed to create it and the cost of its ingredients. More experienced and reputable wedding bakers are usually pricier. You want your wedding cake to look the very best, but it is important that you to stay within budget. There is a cake designer out there who can do just that for you and makes an awesome tasting cake too, “me”. - Keep talking with your wedding cake designer.
Provide the baker with as much information about your wedding as you can: the location, the level of formality, your wedding dress, the colors, the wedding flowers, etc.. The whole idea is to customize the look of the cake. - Get your wedding cake price in writing.
To ensure you get the exact wedding cake you want, check that all the details, including the date, place and time of the wedding, plus the style and flavors of the cake, are in your contract with the designer. Your baker should update the contract anytime you change your mind, and as you choose further details. Whether it’s with a written description or a sketch, it should be clear to you exactly how your cake will look on the wedding day.

What does every 16 year old want? A car, an I-phone and a day of shopping with a stop at the “Pink Store”
That is we tried to portray on her birthday cake.
Where should I place my Wedding Cake?
November 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Most brides spend a lot of time on their cake design… deciding which colors and flavors it should be, figuring out how it should reflect the couple’s individual style or theme, and seeing what can be used as inspiration (perhaps the lace applique on the bride’s gown?). However, on the wedding day, the cake often gets relegated to a corner of the room and forgotten about until it’s time to cut the cake at the end of the night.
I say, give your gorgeous cake the placement it deserves! With my brides, I often place the cake table front and center at the reception, where all guests will see it as they enter the room. You can also set it up behind the sweetheart table as a beautiful backdrop. Have a spotlight on the cake or place several candles around it so that it can’t be missed—and serves as part of the room décor.
The word “wed” is derived from……

…..the ancient Greek word for “pledge.” And that’s exactly what a wedding is, no matter what country it takes place in, no matter what culture it’s part of. To wed is to pledge yourself to another. There are few acts we perform that are more pure or more beautiful than the act of marriage.
