Pastry Design Solutions for Blue Wedding Cakes
A blue wedding celebration involves the use of deep, rich tones, and the creations of confectioners are no exception.
To obtain a blue color in cake design, use:
- blue mastic and glaze;
- blueberries, blueberries;
- a variety of sweet blue decor: floral arrangements, ribbons, bows;
- inedible elements: fresh flowers, satin ribbons.
The most popular option for a celebration in blue is a multi-tiered cake. Masters of confectionery art place tiers on top of each other; an option can also be used when each tier lies on a separate dish, mounted on special stands.
What decor will be on the cake depends on the wishes of the young couple and the skills of a professional pastry chef. This piece of confectionery art looks simply magnificent.
The most unusual and interesting ideas of confectioners for white and blue wedding cakes are the following:
Blue + orange, peach
The combination of blue and orange is a softer version of the contrast of complementary colors, where the first, like a shade of blue, is the opposite of the second. Unlike pure contrast, a softer one looks more attractive and is used much more often in life. It leaves a feeling of unity between opposite sides. Consider the following combinations:
White-blue is combined with orange: light peach, orange-peach, orange-coral, carrot, red-orange. Neutral colors: white, light gray, marengo.
Light blue is combined with orange: coral, orange, fiery, red-orange, red. Basic: cream, dark gray, wet asphalt.
Gray-blue is combined with orange: light orange-peach, coral-peach, orange-coral, copper, dark orange. Base: milky, gray, anthracite.
Green-blue is combined with orange: peach, coral, carrot, red-orange, red. Base: creamy, old wood, graphite.
Cake in the shape of several boxes tied with ribbons
This design has become popular relatively recently. The simplicity and elegance of the boxes, tied with mastic ribbons and decorated with huge sugar bows, will be appreciated by all guests.
This cake is suitable for any classic wedding. You can use chocolate, various berries and fruits as filling.
Rainbow cake with surprise: recipe No. 4
The idea of this cake is winning the hearts of more and more sweet tooths. You simply add colored sugar topping to your favorite cake, then layer and decorate with your favorite frosting, decorate with sugar confetti and the cake is ready! :-). It's not a lot of work, but the effect can be even more impressive than in the Rainbow cake. I recommend this for a baby shower or New Year's Eve party.
Note: The amount of cream is already adjusted to the entire cake.
