Wedding Cakes Baltimore Venues Have To Offer

By Linda Ruiz


The date of your wedding is rapidly approaching and the one thing left on your list is to order your cake for the reception. The wedding cakes Baltimore venues have to offer has endless varieties to choose from. Couples may have a difficult time narrowing down their choices.

One of the main things to consider is your budget which correlates to the size of your pastry. One rule of thumb to follow is to only order for two-thirds of your total guest count as some of your guests will not eat cake and others will leave the reception early for other events and previous engagements.

There are many, many styles to choose from. Some of those available are layers stacked one on top of the other. Others are one main creation with many smaller satellites surrounding them on the cake table. The layers can be round or square but round ones are the most common. They can be topped with figurines, wedding bells, fresh or artificial flowers or inverted brandy glasses with some type of decoration inside.

The flavor of this creation is very important. The bride may love chocolate while the groom prefers plain vanilla. Come to a compromise and alternate layers of both favorites. Or you can choose a marble cake, which mixes the two flavors in distinctive and tasty swirls. Make all the children at the event happy with both chocolate and vanilla cupcakes.

Icings are also to be selected. There are several that will complement the flavor and texture of the cake. A fondant, a butter cream or white mountain frosting are some choices that can be made. Be sure to sample each one to get the full flavor of what your dream creation could taste like.

The happy couple must also agree on the fillings. Some may select the icing to be the filling of choice while others may desire a fruit-style filling between all the layers. Choices may include lemon, raspberry or strawberry. Chocolate-dipped strawberries arranged around the base of the creation are always a classy touch.

Always make the necessary arrangements to have your creation delivered safely and soundly. Once it is brought in and placed in position, it should not be moved as it may fall. Choose experienced personnel to cut the slices as they will know how to remove the layers, save the necessary pieces and set aside the top layer for the bride and groom's very first wedding anniversary. They should also be experienced enough to view the guests present and estimate how many servings are needed and how large to cut the slices. Purchase a set of serving utensils that can be used for many special occasions in the happy couple's future.

Choosing the cake that you have always dreamed of can be quite a challenge but it can become more simple with the help of experts. Taking the right amount of time to locate and choose exactly what you want and desire for your very special day will bring you to the creation of your dreams.
