Ego Vinterop Wedding Designer

I guess Im a little confused. I am planning my wedding and I am learning that people usually have their wedding cake out for all to see, but they don’t actually serve that cake. They have a sheet cake in the back that gets sliced up and served. I understand the sheet cake is cheaper, but why save the WHOLE wedding cake?

People don’t save the whole wedding cake. They save the top tier to be eaten on the couples one year anniversary.

Sometime you can’t afford a cake and people will use a model that isn’t real and serve sheet cake. Sometimes only a section of the cake it real for the cake cutting and pictures.

The couple may have a small wedding cake that will just be served to the bridal party and parents, and the sheet cakes for the rest of the guests. Cost efficiency is a major thing when planning a wedding. This also keep the guests from complaining about who gets what cake, because usually the caterer takes the wedding cake to the back to cut up for guests serving.

I have never heard of a bride saving the entire wedding cake though. Check your sources, I think you might be slightly misinformed.

Our wedding, we have a four tiered wedding cake plus two sheets cakes. All but the top tier will be served at the wedding. We are being a little fun with our sheet cakes. We are actually doing cheesecake, so we are doing a build your own cheesecake dessert table. It will have toppings for everyone to choose from so they don’t have to eat the flavors of wedding cake we picked. Our tiered cake is also cheesecake and are chocolate and almond flavor, and not everybody likes flavored cheesecake. This gives people a chance to have more variety and it is fun and different than other weddings.
Good luck with your wedding

I’m planning a summer wedding with many vibrant summer colours like yellow, dark pink, light pink and purple.

Both me and my fiance are not huge fans of cake, but we both love strawberry shortcake (like the fluffy angel cake, strawberries and whip cream).

Any suggestions for how to decorate a cake like that? More than likely I’ll be the one making it. I have in mind a three tier white, maybe pink wedding cake with either a vast assortment of fruit or flowers to decorate it with. Any ideas?

DO NOT make your own wedding cake. As the bride you have plenty to do without adding your cake to the list. Trust me honey, I’ve seen it done and it always turns out a disaster. Instead, enlist the help of family or a friend to make the cake for you.

Since it’s strawberry shortcake what if you set up an interactive bar where guests were given their individual cakes then could load up on their choice of berries, whipped cream, or sauces. Besides strawberries you could offer blueberries, blackberries, raspberry, etc.

Otherwise you could easily do angel food cake layered and iced with the whipped cream just like if you had buttercream with fresh fruit as your decor. On each table you can put a gravy boat with strawberry sauce or even chocolate for guests who want some extra flavoring.

It doesn’t even have to be cake. Pies, cheesecake, icecream sundae bar, brownies, a large stack of cookies. I even saw a wedding where they put individual servings if tiramisu in martini glasses and made a tower….it looked really awesome.
