Wedding cake: how to choose and calculate the weight correctly

One of the most beautiful and elegant desserts is a Tiffany style wedding cake. In this article we will talk about what kind of wedding it is suitable for, what it should look like and what taste it should have.

A cake is as much a symbol of a wedding as rings or a white dress of the bride. Cutting the delicacy is the final stage of the wedding, the final chord of your celebration, and it is very important that the treat maximally matches the style of the holiday, is beautiful on the outside and tasty on the inside.

The choice of wedding product must be approached responsibly. Confectioners have learned to create real masterpieces - it can be difficult for the bride and groom to choose from the whole variety of cakes the one that is suitable for their wedding.

How to make buttercream for cake decoration at home

Creams prepared for decorating cakes at home can be very different. The only thing they have in common is impeccable taste. But from my own experience I can say that butter cream is the incredibly delicate and lightest cream. It looks like white foam, with a rich, milky, neutral taste, which can be combined with various glaze and cream recipes. I guarantee that if you do everything correctly according to the specified recipe, the foam will be very stable and hold its shape for a long time, which is very beautiful when decorating cakes.

Vegetable cream is an emulsion of vegetable oil and fats, as well as stabilizers. The taste of this product is very similar to the natural one. The plant analogue is denser, thicker, with a stable consistency. According to the recipe given below, from one liter of such cream you can prepare three liters of whipped foam for decorating the cake. This cream is produced in containers with attachments that are convenient for decoration. You can often find them in markets - whipped cream in a can.

Natural cream is a very high-calorie, fatty product with a rich milk taste. They come in white or with a slightly yellow tint. Only those with a fat content exceeding 30% are suitable for decoration. Less fatty ones will either not be able to be whipped, or they will fall very quickly. They are less airy, unlike plant ones, and more capricious.

If the technology for preparing the sweet mass is not followed correctly, they will easily settle or spread. However, two weighty arguments can be put forward in their favor - taste and healthfulness, in contrast to the low-calorie nature of their plant counterpart.

Don't get too carried away with vegetable creams. They contain many preservatives and stabilizers. This is, rather, an emergency aid for the housewife when she simply doesn’t have enough time to tinker with a natural product. This cream does not use sugar, so it has a neutral milky taste. Thanks to this, vegetable cream can be combined with any type of baked goods. You can add powdered sugar to the cream, thereby sweetening the confectionery product.

It is perhaps beyond the power of other described masses to compete with natural whipped cream as a decoration for home-baked goods. As soon as you think about baking and decorating a cake with whipped cream at home for the first time, I advise you to choose an industrial product. The packaging will indicate the fat content percentage and shelf life of the cream.

The ideal option should not contain anything else other than the cream itself. The minimum percentage of fat content of industrial cream is 10, and the maximum is 42. In the market from grandmothers you can buy a product with a fat content of 50% or more, but you cannot get a high-quality cream from it. Based on the recipe, when whipping you will get natural butter, but not whipped cream. The optimal percentage of fat content of cream, which after whipping is suitable for decorating baked goods, is 30-40.

To create the creamy mass you will need:

• 200 g cream;
• 2 tbsp. l. sugar or powder;
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract.

Step-by-step recipe with photos

1. Cool the cream thoroughly and pour into a clean, dry bowl.
2. Add sugar and vanilla extract (you can use any other flavoring if you wish).
3. I whip the cream with a whisk. It may be more tedious and longer, but the sugar has time to completely dissolve. Plus, when whipping with a mixer, you can overdo it and get butter. Gradually the cream thickens and increases in volume.
4. Continue the process until the product is so fluffy and thick that it will hold its shape.
5. Or it’s good to stay on the rim and not fall.

Video recipe for cake decorating cream

I want to share with you one recipe that I found on the Internet. There is a difference here from the classic whipped cream, and because of this it is more expensive, since cream cheese is also used. But the result exceeds all expectations. Having prepared such a sweet mass, all you need is your imagination on how to beautifully decorate the cake. Take a look and you won't regret it.

Decorating a celebration in the style of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”

The registration and celebration area is decorated with:

• blue and white ribbons (plus bows) made of satin and tulle;
• small turquoise boxes with compliments for guests;
• large mirrors (if celebrated in a restaurant or home);
• black and white photographs;
• accessories in retro style - boxes, snow-white and metal figurines, vinyl records, pearls;
• a bucket of pink champagne;
• flower arrangements.

Everything should be in the same style; the slightest deviation from the image (especially color) will be noticeable.

Gift table

Choosing and decorating a tuple

The ideal option for Tiffany's wedding is retro cars in menthol and white colors; black cars should preferably be decorated with contrasting turquoise ribbons.

• Hudson Hornet
• Electra 225 Cobvertible
• Cadillac Fleetwood
• Chrysler Newport
• Chrysler 300 Convertible.

It must be borne in mind that the Tiffany style does not tolerate vulgarity and vulgarity. Therefore, when choosing cars, it is advisable to abandon cars like Jeep or Hummer.

The cortege of typical New York yellow taxis looks unusual.

Automobile

Place of registration

If the wedding ceremony is held indoors, then the seats for guests should be decorated with turquoise and white ribbons, and the path of the newlyweds to the table should be covered with snow-white cloth. Floral arrangements will be appropriate in the registration area.

The registration area for an outdoor ceremony should be decorated with an arch of flowers; it is advisable to cover the bride’s path to the altar with a turquoise or white carpet (an alternative is white petals). You can put covers with bows on the chairs on which guests will sit.

Banquet area

If you are planning an outdoor celebration, then installing snow-white textile tents will provide shelter from the heat or rain. Tables are covered with menthol or white tablecloths. A little further away they set up a stage for the musicians. Let rock and roll, jazz or music from the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” flow.

White and blue balloons and flower arrangements would be quite appropriate decor.

Outdoor celebrations can be arranged in a buffet format, and textile canopies can be used instead of tents.

Sweet table

If you are planning a classic celebration in a restaurant, you need to make sure that the premises have:

• high ceilings;
• furniture in modern style;
• large crystal chandeliers;
• mirrors in massive metal frames.

Decorating tables is no different from celebrating outdoors. The only difference is that balloons would be out of place in an expensive restaurant. It is advisable to limit yourself to flowers, ribbons and black and white retro photographs of the newlyweds.

Wherever a Tiffany-style wedding is celebrated, care must be taken to ensure that the tables have high-quality tableware from the same set (crystal, silver, porcelain).

In all cases, it is necessary to allocate an area for dancing, a table for compliments to guests and a place in which they will put gifts.

Packing gifts in boxes and paper in classic Tiffany & Co colors looks interesting and will match the theme of the celebration. Guests can be notified of this in the invitations.

Important little things

It is advisable to make the invitations menthol white with the font used for the Tiffany & Co brand name. They can be sealed in openwork envelopes and decorated with small white bows, ribbons or rhinestones.

Invitations without photos

Place cards in retro style look unusual - black and white photos of guests that will be placed on the table. You can get by with simple white or turquoise personalized or numbered cards.

It is advisable to avoid long “p” or “g” shaped tables. A more suitable option is round tables for 5-6 people each, like in a cabaret.

Where is the best place to have a wedding?

For a Tiffany style wedding, you can rent a cozy banquet hall or restaurant. It should be quite spacious, with high ceilings. It’s good if this room contains massive mirrors in beautiful frames, crystal chandeliers, and furniture in the Art Nouveau style.

If you wish, you can experiment a little. In the warm season, painting itself can be organized outdoors, for example, in a picturesque city park. In this case, it is necessary to take care of designing the place for on-site registration in the appropriate style. After the formal part, a small buffet and an outdoor photo shoot, you can move to the banquet hall. It is worth warning the photographer in advance about the intended theme of the celebration and discussing with him in which places it is better to take photographs. To maintain your wedding style, you can take pictures in retro shops, near skyscrapers, during a horseback ride, or in an ancient park.

Attention should also be paid to the design of the wedding procession. It is desirable that all cars be black or white, decorated with decorative elements in white and turquoise. Ribbons, balloons, and fresh flowers are perfect for decoration.

Useful video: design option

One of the design options for a confectionery product in the Tiffany style can be seen in this video:

1. First of all, the cake itself is prepared. In our case, this is a square-shaped product.
2. Mastic is being prepared. With the help of dyes it is given the desired turquoise shade.
3. The mastic is rolled out with a rolling pin.
4. The cake is covered with a layer of turquoise mastic on top and sides, after which it is carefully pressed with a special spatula. Excess mastic is carefully trimmed with a knife.
5. Wide strips are cut out of white mastic and attached to the sides on four sides.
6. Then take the second part of the cake - the same area, but narrower. This is the lid on the future “Tiffany box”.
7. The lid is also decorated with white stripes representing white ribbons. A bow is formed.
8. A layer of pre-rolled white mastic is placed between the main part of the cake and the “lid”.
9. The cake is decorated with “pearls” - small balls of white fondant.

The result of the pastry chef's efforts is a square cake that imitates a turquoise box with Tiffany jewelry.

What a beautiful treat should look like

Tiffany's wedding cake, as in the photo, is suitable for a stylized and classic celebration.

Form

A classic Tiffany cake should be square and look like a box - or a multi-level pile of several boxes on top of each other. Each box should be decorated with ribbon. But round confectionery products are also allowed - again, single-level or multi-level. Other options are a hexagon-shaped, heart-shaped, or horseshoe-shaped cake, but these are much less common.

Color

As we have already said, the classic color combination is turquoise and white. But as an option, the main turquoise color can be combined with other shades:

• brown;
• coral;
• pale yellow;
• bright pink.

Decorations

Let's consider everything.

1. Bow. Most often, a Tiffany-style wedding cake, as in the photo, is decorated with a white bow, imitating the bow on a gift box with Tiffany jewelry, but there are other options.
2. Flowers. It can be one large flower at the top or a garland of flowers going down diagonally from top to bottom. Flowers are most often made from white fondant, but they can also be pink, coral or chocolate.
3. Pearls or beads. White “pearls” look great on the cake. If it is a multi-level structure, they can lie at the base of each layer. In another version, the pearls are carefully pressed into the mastic over the entire surface. Finally, the third option is to have “pearl beads” lying on the surface of the cake or hanging from the sides.
4. Openwork painting. Tiffany-colored “lace” wedding cakes look stunning, and white lace painting on a turquoise surface looks especially elegant. You can choose the picture at your discretion.
5. Figurines. These can be figures of newlyweds or white doves, as well as any other figures at the discretion of the bride and groom. The surface of the treat can be decorated with an edible box with rings.
6. Letters. Tiffany-style treats are often decorated with letters - this could be the word Tiffany written somewhere on the side, or there could be letters with the initials of the newlyweds - either applied to the surface of the cake, or in 3D letters placed on the top.

The main mistakes when choosing a wedding cake

Combination of incongruous

If you choose several fillings for a cake, remember that they must be combined with each other. For example, it is difficult to combine cheesecake and honey cake, but it is very easy to spoil the treat by combining these flavors. Therefore, order a tasting set with your chosen fillings in advance to make sure that the cake will really be delicious.

Too many toppings

Don't know which flavor to choose and want to order a cake with five different fillings? We understand that choosing just one from such a variety can be very difficult, and yet we advise you not to overload the cake with flavors. If you want variety, prepare a sweet table of cupcakes with different fillings.

The cake doesn't suit the wedding style

A cake with open layers is not suitable for a classic celebration in a restaurant, and on the contrary, a multi-tiered cake with fondant will look out of place at a barbecue-style celebration. Therefore, when choosing a cake, follow the general rule of wedding decoration: all the details should be combined with each other and create an overall harmonious picture.

Lots of dyes and additives

Let the cake not be too bright, but it will be tasty and will not harm your body or the health of your guests. In addition, some of the guests may have allergies, which can be easily triggered by artificial dyes.

Lack of a beautiful stand and cutting knife

A gorgeous cake, a magnificent background, a beautiful and happy bride and groom - this whole picture can only be ruined by an ordinary table knife, which the waiters hastily found in the kitchen. Therefore, it is worth taking care of a beautiful cutting set and a suitable stand in advance.

Cute and delicious cake for tea party

Let's start with Stephanie's cake. Of course, it does not contain complex cream structures, just several complex layers. But the presented dessert will definitely delight loved ones with its aftertaste, light citrus accent and raspberry jam, despite its laconic design.

Ingredients:

• 750 g flour;
• 500 g butter;
• 3 chicken eggs;
• 15 g soda;
• 50 g honey;
• 200 g powdered sugar;
• A pinch of salt;
• 200 g semolina;
• 1 liter of milk;
• 50 g rum;
• 150 g chocolate;
• 170 g sugar;
• 200 g raspberry jam;
• 30 g orange zest.

Preparation:

1. The first step in preparing the cake will be baking the cake layers. Sift flour and soda through a sieve. Then beat 250 g of soft butter with powder until smooth. Stirring constantly, add eggs, honey and a pinch of salt one by one. Knead the dough by adding flour to the butter. Divide into four equal balls and place in the freezer for half an hour.
2. Roll out the cold balls on a floured wooden board. Using a template (plate, bottom of the mold), cut out a round cake about 24-26 centimeters.
3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment, place the crust on it and bake for 7 to 10 minutes until done.
4. Place the finished base under a kitchen towel while the rest of the cakes are baked.

While the dough is being prepared, make the semolina cream. For it you need to boil 750 ml of milk with sugar, combine the remaining 250 ml with semolina and pour into the hot mixture. In this case, you need to stir the cream all the time with a spatula. Cook for up to 5 minutes over low heat until the mixture becomes thick and the cereal is cooked. Remove from heat and let cool.

Let's start assembling the cake:

1. Spread the first cake layer with raspberry jam and generously add milk cream.
2. Cover with a second layer, repeat the layering order, not forgetting to grease the sides of the cake.
3. Cover the last cake with liquid chocolate (break into pieces and melt in a water bath).

The treat can be served 8 hours after assembly. Keep refrigerated.

Birthday cake

Stefania cake has one more method of preparation and already has a rather complex external design. Therefore, such a dessert can easily become a decoration for a large festive table. Consists of cakes soaked in two delicious creams and mascarpone cheese.

Ingredients:

• 570 g sugar;
• 4 chicken eggs;
• 50 g butter;
• 500 g flour;
• 500 g sour cream;
• 5 g soda;
• 250 g mascarpone cheese;
• 100 g powdered sugar;
• 100 ml water;
• 5 g lemon juice.

The first step will be to prepare the cakes:

1. Sift the flour (we will use 450 grams for the dough, the rest for dusting under the cakes).
2. Beat butter with sour cream until smooth. In a separate container, beat three yolks with sugar, combine everything and add soda, slaked with lemon juice.
3. Add flour and knead into a soft dough. Divide it into 6-10 identical balls, depending on the diameter of the template used (from 20 to 26 cm).
4. Roll out each part on a table sprinkled with flour and cut out a circle according to the dimensions of the template. Make punctures all over the dough with a fork.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment, move the crust and bake in the oven for up to 5 minutes at 200 degrees.
6. The cakes should only brown a little around the edges, otherwise they will crumble a lot. You need to stack them on top of each other, and cover them with a towel.

Next is the preparation of the cream: combine sour cream with mascarpone and powdered sugar, carefully move and grease all the prepared cakes with it (leave the top one). Wrap tightly with cling film and refrigerate overnight to soak.

Next step: preparing the protein cream for the top layer. To do this, pour 400 g of sugar into a saucepan, add water and turn on high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Beat 150 g of egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form. When the syrup is ready (in a glass of cold water, a dropped drop has turned into a ball), very slowly and constantly stirring, add it to the whites. Beat until completely cool; you can use a bowl of ice as a cold stand. This way the mass will quickly acquire the desired consistency and temperature.

Cake decoration depends on the imagination of the creator. You can cover the top of the dessert with the resulting cream. Next, using a pastry bag with tips and food coloring (optional), decorate the cake with roses and openwork sides.

Tiffany with strawberry cream

The next dessert is Tiffany cake, it can be prepared with classic Stefania cakes. You can also take a risk and make something special, unlike other desserts.

In the presented version, the base is similar to the previous cakes, but it all depends on the size and weight of the product itself. You can make a small portion, so if you get an unsuccessful result, you won’t be so sorry for the ingredients used. Therefore, we take half the portions from the previous cake.

Ingredients:

• 2 yolks;
• 90 g sugar;
• 30 g butter;
• 10 g vanillin;
• 8 g baking powder (instead of soda);
• 300 g flour (for dough 230 g);
• 100 g sour cream.

For the strawberry cream:

• 300 g strawberries;
• 1 chicken egg;
• 25 g flour;
• 150 g cream;
• 100 powdered sugar.

For protein (Tiffany color):

• 200 g sugar;
• 50 ml water;
• 70 g proteins;
• Food coloring.

Preparation

Preparing cakes and dough is no different from Stefaniy. You need to beat the yolks, sugar, sour cream and butter, then add flour with baking powder and knead the dough. Divide into pieces (for this portion there are 3-4 balls, a circle with a diameter of 20 cm), roll out and bake for 5 minutes at 200 degrees.

But the cream is completely different, it consists of strawberries, has a sweet but not cloying taste, an unsurpassed aroma and a soft pink color. To prepare it you need:

• Puree pureed berries until pureed;
• Combine flour, egg, powder and pour into strawberries;
• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick;
• Cool;
• Whip the cream until fluffy;
• Very slowly and carefully combine the two mixtures.

Protein cream is prepared according to the standard recipe described above. If a lot of decor is planned, the proportions need to be increased to the original volumes.

To finish the cake, brush the cake layers with strawberry cream. Cover the top and third cake layers, as well as the sides, with Tiffany-colored egg white. Decorate with white cream in the form of stars, flowers, zigzags, patterns. Place in the refrigerator for 8 hours.

As you can see from the recipes presented, the base is almost the same everywhere. But the whole essence, taste and attractiveness depends on the cream filling and external design of the cake. Therefore, the dessert’s calling card is the work of the creator of the confectionery masterpiece herself.

Wedding photo shoot in the style of "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

Although the main character of the film, Holly Golightly, loved luxury, life often surrounded her with more prosaic things. But in expressing herself, Holly was not afraid of prejudices and cliches. Her phrase “Do something you’ve never done before!” has become a cult. Take this rule into account for your Breakfast at Tiffany's wedding photo shoot. Allow yourself to do something for the first time, something daring, eccentric, unpredictable.

Holly was in love with New York and loved walking its streets. Therefore, the ideal backdrop for a Breakfast at Tiffany’s wedding photo shoot will be picturesque neighborhoods and modern avenues of a large city. Photos with such surroundings are always full of dynamics. Rent a retro convertible, don't forget sunglasses, a long cigarette holder, a hat for the groom and a little black dress with a necklace for the bride to get the most out of the movie look.

If the season allows, a city park is perfect. It would be appropriate to place a wedding banner with a 50s era design in front of which guests can take photos. For a more intimate setting, an upscale retro-style hotel or an expensive store with a vintage interior would be suitable. True, you will have to obtain permission to shoot in advance, but the result is worth it.

Decorations a la Holly's party are another successful scenario for a wedding photo shoot. You can not only recreate the ambience of the heroine’s modest apartment with a large crowd, but also actually organize a final retro party after the banquet. Its main attributes will be champagne, authentic music (jazz, rhythm and blues) and the carefree mood of all those present.

Taste of the product

So far we have talked about what a Tiffany style cake should look like.

The appearance of a wedding cake is important, but when it comes to food, its taste also matters. If the cake is beautiful on the inside but tasteless, guests will be disappointed, so it is important to strike a balance between the shell and the content.

A Tiffany-style cake involves decorating with fondant, which includes marshmallow, egg yolk and other ingredients that do not combine well with rich creams. If you apply mastic to such cream, the appearance of the cake may be ruined. But shortbread, biscuit or honey desserts can be easily decorated with mastic.

Floral arrangements of orchids and branches of flowering fruit trees will complement the interior favorably. Photos of the newlyweds in black and white look interesting on the walls.

Wedding palette for cake decor in Tiffany style

The trend of the wedding season is confectionery in cool blue-green shades of silver-blue. This is the signature color of the Tiffany & Co. brand, which in the international color palette corresponds to the number 1837. Throughout the world, this color is considered a symbol of romance, so newlyweds often choose it as the main tone for the wedding cake. It is ideal for both a traditional white wedding and any celebration in pastel shades. Decorate a Tiffany-colored cake with white or chocolate fondant, from which confectioners make:

• roses;
• ribbons;
• bows;

Mother of the groom

When choosing a pastry chef to make a Tiffany-style cake, pay attention to his work experience, look at his portfolio and read reviews. This cake requires a lot of effort and care.

Bella Cheremisina

What if you want a different cake for your wedding - for example, Bird's Milk, Baileys, or any other cake with mousse or soufflé? It is not necessary to give up your favorite dessert, but before applying mastic to such baked goods, the base of the cake must be strengthened. The soft filling should be completely covered with a layer of sponge cake coated with a special cream. After this, you can safely apply mastic to the cake - its appearance will not be affected.

Nuasny

Keep in mind that at the end of the wedding, guests are usually full. Therefore, it is more logical to choose not heavy, high-calorie cakes, but, on the contrary, tender and light ones, for example, fruit or berry, cottage cheese or yogurt.

If your wedding is taking place in winter, you can use shortbread and sponge cakes as a basis and grease them with sour cream or butter cream.

A Tiffany cake can be ordered for a regular wedding, as well as for a wedding in pastel (blue, turquoise, light green) colors. It looks so beautiful and elegant that it will surely decorate any celebration. But, of course, the most logical thing to do is order such a cake for a Tiffany-style wedding.

Themed weddings have become a trend of late, and a Tiffany-themed wedding is one of the most elaborate celebrations imaginable. This wedding theme is perfect for sophisticated people.

Graceful images of newlyweds and guests

• Impeccable bridal style

The bride's dress can be white with a belt, bow or frills in turquoise. If you want to look original, you can give preference to a dress with a straight silhouette in turquoise or milky color with black details (buttons, bow, belt). Long satin gloves, a hat with a veil, and an elegant handbag will go perfectly with a dress of any style.

There can be several options for a wedding hairstyle: babette styling, high bun, retro-style styling. Hairpins with large rhinestones, bright ribbons, a diadem, and a tiara look great as hair decorations. A pearl necklace or a luxurious necklace will help highlight the overall style of the look. Makeup should also match the chosen style. Classic black eyeliner and soft pink lipstick will help add expressiveness to the bride's image.

The bride's bouquet can be composed of white flowers: roses, daisies, chrysanthemums, orchids. As additions, you can take small flowers, ribbons, and decorative blue butterflies. The groom's boutonniere, which gives him a special charm and chic, should be made in the same style and colors as the bride's bouquet.

• No-frills groom's image

For the groom, a classic suit in black or gray, complemented by a turquoise tie or neckerchief, is suitable. If you want to have a particularly sophisticated look, preference should be given to a tuxedo or tailcoat in combination with a snow-white shirt and bow tie. To add an unusual touch to your look, you can choose a hat with a blue ribbon or a vest in colors that match your style.

• Elegant and stylish looks for guests

If the bride wears a white dress, then blue dresses (cocktail or floor-length) will be suitable for the bridesmaids. If a turquoise outfit is chosen for the bride, then for the bridesmaids it is worth choosing clothes in cream, milky white shades, setting them off with belts, shoes, and accessories.

Guests should be notified in advance about the style of the celebration. If the guests adhere to the general style, the wedding will be colorful and the photographs will be original. For women, dresses in black, blue, dark brown, stiletto heels or pumps, satin gloves, transparent scarves, pearl jewelry, and a retro-style hairstyle are suitable. For men, stylish black or dark gray suits and tuxedos, classic ties or bow ties are preferred.

A wedding in the Tiffany style will certainly please both you and your guests, because such a celebration will be remembered for its originality and elegance. You just have to show your imagination and make a little effort, and your wedding will become one of the most delightful days of your life.

Features of the celebration

The motto of a Tiffany style wedding is “Elegance in every detail.” Basically, it's a retro wedding in the style of the 50s, but with a few twists.

The combination of turquoise and white shades should be present in all details, such as:

• invitations;
• wedding dress and bouquet;
• wedding hall decor;
• dishes and table decorations;
• car (limousine);
• a wedding cake.

Preparing such a wedding will take a lot of time, but the result is worth it! You can look at gorgeous photographs from this holiday every day - there is so much luxury, sophistication and elegance in them.

Peculiarities

Tiffany & Co is perhaps the most famous jewelry store in the United States, with branches in many countries. The history of this company dates back to 1837, when their first store was opened in New York, Manhattan. Millions of girls all over the world dream of having a Tiffany ring.

In 1961, the film “Breakfast at Tiffany's” was released, which made Audrey Hepburn famous. Her heroine lived above the Tiffany store, which personified the world she dreamed of entering. Since then, the word “Tiffany” has been considered synonymous with sophisticated luxury and elegance. During the filming of Breakfast at Tiffany's, the store was open to customers for the first time in its history on Sunday.

Interesting! You can also design invitation cards and a bridal bouquet in the Tiffany style.

Tiffany style has its own color. Many define it as blue or blue-green, but to be more precise, it is turquoise. And to be absolutely precise, this is color 1837 in the international color palette. It can be combined with white, as well as chocolate, mint, coral, blue and even black. But the classic combination is, of course, turquoise and white. The turquoise color is not just a symbol, but a registered trademark of Tiffany&Co.

The second feature of the style is impeccable elegance. Your Tiffany wedding cake should look luxurious, but not vulgar in any way.

Menu, serving

The table decoration is at the highest level - crystal, porcelain, ice sculptures, chocolate fountains, multi-tiered stands. Flowers in miniature vases, candlesticks, strings of pearls, “diamonds,” and the legendary Tiffany Setting rings (can be placed on a napkin or the stem of a glass) are suitable for decoration.

A buffet table, a common table and seating for 2-4 people are equally appropriate. Light portioned snacks - kebabs, canapés and tartlets, mini sandwiches, salads in baskets, cold cuts. Include fish, cheeses, lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, caviar, seafood, and Tiffany salad for ambiance. The dishes are exquisite, served in a restaurant style, but without exoticism - classic European and/or American cuisine.

Drinks of the evening - martini, pink champagne, brandy, cognac. Prepare several cocktails, including non-alcoholic ones. There are a lot of simple recipes for blue/turquoise cocktails on the internet – take a couple of them for yourself.

Pay special attention to the design of the sweet table with a large selection of all kinds of desserts: cupcakes, macaroni, dragees, mousses, profiteroles, chocolate in any form. Use transparent dishes, skirts of a suitable shade, crystal and/or porcelain holders, coasters

Everything is like at any buffet table, but in a thematic range.
