The Beauty Of Wedding Cakes
By Pamela Hardy
When designing wedding cakes Upper Marlboro pastry chefs have many resources from which to draw inspiration. The colonial Maryland town has roots dating back to the 1600's. The long history as a result has led to some beautiful historical sights. These areas can be very attractive to brides looking for a unique event location.
Pastry making is becoming ever popular. Television shows and food publications alike are paying special attention to this delicate art. Cake making and sugar sculpting go hand in hand with more widely recognized art forms. With so many talented people in the field a couple should be able to find a grand cake design to please any pocket book.
The area is dotted with specialists that cater to all manner of wedding needs. This is probably due in large part to the fact that so many of the beautiful historical locations are available for rent for big day events. When considering the cost of a cake it can be helpful to remember that they are usually priced by the slice but the more decorative the elements the higher the cost will be.
Most of those working in a cake shop will have extensive experience. They may be able to cater to any need whether it be basic butter cream or fine chocolate sculpting. The only limits are set by those ordering the cake and with a little effort one should be able to find a specialist that can attend to specific interests.
When one is at a loss for a place to begin with decorative ideas it can be useful to take inspiration from the colors and design already being used in the wedding. The colors can be incorporated in the cake in various ways such as piped frosting or rolled fondant. Even decorative paintings can be made in sugar.
A crowd pleaser for guests may be a cake that includes elements that are personal to the bride and groom or are characteristic of the surrounding area. When creating wedding cakes Upper Marlboro designers might look to lacey embellishments to reflect the town's roots. Flowers that are used in decorations can be either made of sugar or chocolate or the real thing.
