Wedding Cake Finishing Touches
All cakes can be finished in the following styles. Cake prices are subject to change based on the finishing selected.
Italian Buttercream
Boiled Sugar Syrup and Egg Whites are whipped to a Fluffy Italian Meringue, then Butter is added and the Mixture is Whipped until Smooth. This Frosting is Rich and Tastes Great. Italian Butter Cream is White, though it does have the Slightest Hint of Color from the Butter.
Swiss Meringue
This Meringue is Simply Sugar and Egg Whites. It’s Cooked Together, and then Whipped to Full Volume- this Frosting Stays Bright White. It’s Great for a Stucco, or Old-Fashioned Swirled Frosting Look. It can also be Lightly Torched to give It a Bit of Color Dimension- this Looks Great with Bright Colored Fresh Flowers.
Rolled Fondant
This Sugar Mixture is Firm and can be Rolled and Molded Around a Cake to Yield a Smooth, Soft Look. Simple Decorations such as Fresh Flowers Work Well with Fondant. Fondant can be colored as well.
Extra touches
Flowers
Fresh Flowers can be provided by the Florist on the Day of Your Wedding. Our Pastry Chef will arrange them on your Cake Based on your Specifications.
Ribbon
A Wide Band of Ribbon in your Wedding Colors can be Placed around the Base of each Layer for a Dramatic Look.
Crystallized Fruit
When in Season, Fruits like Cherries, Figs, Grapes, Plums, and Currants can be dipped in Sugar, and some can be Adorned with Bits of Gold Leaf for a Special Look.
