I think the best part of this whole wedding thing, other than the actual wedding, will be cake sampling. I love cake and while I don’t know what our cake will look like, I know it will tasting amazing and have at least one layer of darkest, richest chocolate money can buy.Because I think about baked goods a lot, I was happy to see that TheKnot.ca is having “cake week” this week. Basically this just means that they’re running a bunch of cake-themed articles. One of them, Wedding Cakes: 6 Steps to Getting the Perfect One, is jammed pack with useful and education details, like, for example, the difference between buttercream icing and fondant (buttercream is made from butter and sugar while fondant is made from sugar, corn syrup, water, and gelatine and is that stuff you always see used on those fancy cake making shows on the Food Network).
A few other highlight from the article:
- generally, expect to pay at least $1.50 a slice, with fondant icing
costing more than buttercream - reduce your costs (and the size of your cake) by only serving half-sizes- pay the extra and get the bakery to deliver the cake. This is just one of those things that’s best left to the experts
- here’s an interesting flavour combo: chocolate
-banana cake layered with custard and brushed with banana liqueur
- ganache, a yummy mix of cream and chocolate, is one of the greatest things ever (okay, that’s from me and not the article)
