Outdoor Wedding Cakes

Just as you would choose the outdoor venue, the bridal gown, and the outside wedding decorations, a special wedding cake is needed to suit the special surroundings.

Importance of Outdoor Wedding Cakes

• The type of wedding cake you choose is an expression of your exclusive style
• The colorful cakes make the receptions more interesting
• It provides a great photo opportunity for the couple to cut it together
• It serves as a dessert or delicious after-dinner snack
• A cake in beautiful natural locations provides more opportunities for decorating the cake

Care for Choosing the Outdoor Wedding Cakes

• Vanilla and chocolate are still the most favorite flavors. However, here is a note of caution. The outdoor wedding cakes should never have butter-cream or chocolate frostings, as these frostings are likely to melt away
• In place of traditional butter cream filling, you can have a filling of fresh raspberry puree. A lemon cake with blackberry filling is also a good replacement
• For the summer wedding, the cake has to be made from some firm materials like royal icing, meringue, or fondant. These are the materials which will hold up nicely in the heat
• There should be arrangements like a fully equipped kitchen for storing up the cake in the refrigerator till the time it is required
• All the tiers of the cake need to have the plastic dowels inserted into them to prevent the upper tiers from sinking down into lower tiers
