A festive cake is a symbol of the well-being and “sweet” life of the newlyweds. Freedom in design and choice of filling allows you to realize any celebration idea. Let's pay special attention to the sweet handsome man! Where to begin? Based on weight! On average, each guest should have 250 grams of the finished product. If you plan to leave the treat for the next day or give it to guests with you, the figure increases to 300 grams for each person.
The design of the product largely depends on the total weight. Are you preparing a lavish wedding with a large number of guests? Then the cake should be impressive and multi-tiered. Are you planning a cozy dinner with your closest loved ones? A small and stylish mousse cake will come in handy.
Newlyweds need to remember that the cake should not only be beautiful. It must be tasty. Traditional sponge cakes give way to delicious confectionery delights. Chocolate, milk, nut and fruit cakes conquer the wedding table. A layer of fresh berries and fruits will add a fresh, perky note. Chocolate ganache will satisfy those with a sweet tooth. “Red Velvet” looks bright and original - a delicious cake with bright red cake layers and snow-white cream. The cut is impressive! As for the cream, preference should be given to light, delicious fillings. Whipped cream has been out of fashion for a long time. Cottage cheese, cheese, sour cream creams are infinitely tender and tasty.
A new product in the confectionery industry is mousse cakes. The delicate taste and perfect “cosmic” cut impress the imagination. There is one “BUT” - such delights are performed exclusively in light weight. One of the successful filling options is a combination of several options in a multi-tiered cake. This way, each guest can choose a piece to suit their taste and be satisfied with the dessert.
Millefeuille wedding cake 2019-2020: photos, ideas
Mille feuille cake means “a thousand layers” in French. This cake consists of many thin layers of phyllo pastry, frosted with Chantilly cream and usually decorated with fruit or chocolate.
The cake resembles the well-known and very popular Napoleon in Russia. The main difference is that the puff pastry cakes are not allowed to get wet - the cake is laid out right before serving.
As an option for a wedding Mille-feuille, the layers are coated not only with custard, whipped cream, jam or fruit puree, but with savory fillings, for example, cheese; or even spicy toppings!
Assembly options
The tradition of serving multi-tiered cakes as a treat came from Europe, when such desserts first began to appear at weddings at the end of the 18th century.
In order for the treat to impress not only with its appearance, but also with its exquisite taste, it is important to prepare everything in advance. When ordering a multi-tiered dessert, you should follow the following recommendations:
- You need to order a three-tier cake only from a trusted pastry chef. It is necessary to take into account that good specialists have a queue of clients, so you need to discuss the nuances of the wedding dessert with him in advance. Large confectionery stores provide catalogs with which you can choose the optimal composition of the delicacy.
- Weight and size depend on the number of people invited to the celebration. On average, there is about 150 g of dessert per guest. It is also worth considering the gender, age and personal preferences of the guests. You may have to choose a combined dessert with different fillings. Cakes weighing more than 3 kg are usually made with three tiers.
- The decoration should match the theme and style of the wedding.
- The recipe, color and decor should be discussed with the pastry chef in advance. It is better to avoid an all-white cake, as it will look dull in photographs. It is better to opt for colored or brightly decorated options.
- Before ordering a cake, you need to ask the pastry chef to make several samples with different fillings. By tasting, you can decide on the most delicious fillings and make the necessary adjustments.
A three-tier cake always looks great, but in order for the structure to stand quietly throughout the celebration, delighting you with its appearance, you need to take care of an appropriate stand.
The tiers can be located strictly above each other, offset, at different levels of the shelf with distance, be the same or different in diameter. The base for a wedding treat is usually made of white plastic; stands can also be metal or wood.
Whatnot
A shelf or stand with supports helps protect the lower tiers of the structure from sagging under the weight of the upper ones.
A three-tiered cream wedding cake on a shelf looks solemn, aristocratic and stylish. The materials used for the stand are:
- White plastic.
- Brass.
- Chromed metals.
There are several options for serving dessert on the shelf:
- A single stand, with mats placed between the tiers of the cake.
- A multi-storey stand, on each “floor” of which there are individual cakes. They can be the same size or different, which is why the structure will have a pyramidal shape (straight or inverted).
- Multi-storey stand with each “floor” offset relative to the center. In this case, the cakes, as a rule, have the same dimensions, but may differ in design or color.
- On each floor, portioned cakes or cupcakes are laid out, which are combined into a whole composition using a shelf.
Stand
A 3-tier cake stand can be rented from the pastry shop where the dessert will be made. But you can also buy it in a supermarket or specialty store.
Renting a stand requires paying a deposit. The more expensive it is, the larger the amount you will have to leave. This needs to be taken into account when planning your wedding budget.
A simple stand consists of one large dish on which the first tier is laid out. All “floors” will be separated by special flat substrates, usually made of white plastic.
A three-tier cake can be made without a stand. But it all depends on the skill of the pastry chef. If different-sized thick cake layers are used, which will occupy up to 90% of the entire cake, and the cream layer is thin enough, the treat will last the whole evening without crumbling in front of the amazed guests.

Mostly sponge cake layers are used for cakes on a stand. Impregnation is minimal so that the biscuit does not become damp. The thickness of the cream layer usually does not exceed 5 cm, which is considered the optimal size for three-tier structures on one stand.
The edges of the lower tiers protrude 10 cm relative to the upper ones. With this design, you will have to cut the dessert starting from the top layer.
Kernel
To make the three-level structure stable, special rods are used for fixation. The design consists of round trays of different diameters and plastic or metal tubes. Place the base cake on the bottom tray, make 1-3 small holes in it into which the rods are inserted. The tubes usually have a threaded connection and are screwed into the trays, so holes in the cakes must be made at the points where the elements join. After the cake is covered with cream and decorated, the next smaller tray is attached to the tubes and the steps are repeated for the second and third tiers.
When choosing such a design, confectioners give preference to light sponge cakes that retain their shape well and are easy to cut.
Probably every bride dreams of a three-tier wedding cake. But the number of guests does not always mean such a treat. The fact is that only one lower tier must weigh at least 3 kg, and the total weight of the treat reaches 9 kg. If up to 30 people are invited to the wedding, the cake can be ordered in such a way that the lower tier will be a dummy. Outwardly, it will be no different from the real thing, although inside instead of a biscuit there will be foam plastic. Decorate it with the same materials as the entire cake. The remaining two tiers are just suitable for treating guests.

Delicious children's cakes for girls and boys: trends, design ideas, decor
Often, children's birthday cakes become the best gift for children, because almost all children love sweets.
Children's cakes are also made for other children's holidays, when all children also look forward to a children's cake. Usually, parents decide to spoil their children with cakes at school parties, graduation parties and similar events where a large and friendly group of children gathers.
Since children's cakes are a dessert for the most demanding gourmets, they must be made from the highest quality products, preferably natural.
And although children's cakes for boys and girls, due to their design, often come in very bright colors, to create rich colors you can use natural dyes in the form of squeezed juice of fruits, vegetables, berries, which is much better and healthier than artificial analogues.
If we consider what children's cakes for boys and children's cakes for girls should be in color, then the mischievous fashion comes into force, dictating the current color trends, which are also characteristic of children's clothing.
For example, children's cakes for girls for the holiday will mainly be made in yellow, red, pink, light green, lilac, and beige.
The decor and design of children's cakes in this case can be done in contrasting shades, or in the same colors as the children's cake itself.
Considering the design and decor of desserts for little men, we can say that confectioners often make children’s cakes for boys in contrasting colors, combining, for example, black and yellow, black and white, and also using blue, light blue, purple, yellow, beige shades, etc. White children's cakes are relevant for both boys and girls.

One-tier cake. Small dessert for small weddings
One of the significant advantages of single-tier cakes is the ability for a cook to make one out of anything. Two or three-tier giants do not allow the most daring ideas to be realized due to their size and weight.
Yogurt cake
Its basis is a biscuit or shortbread cake. A creamy-berry-fruit-yogurt soufflé is placed on top, and the dessert hardens in the refrigerator. Such a delicate one-tier cake cannot be covered with fondant. Craftsmen decorate it with fruits, flowers or jelly.

Opened sponge cakes
The trend of wedding cooks from last year, which many couples liked for its simplicity and homeliness. Its main advantage is the absence of mastic. Many people don’t like this beautiful but sickly sweet decoration on cakes. This miracle looks very homely. It’s as if a mother or grandmother baked a wedding delicacy for their dear children with their own hands. However, often an open cake looks like a real work of culinary art. It's all about a competent, almost designer approach to its decor.

Marzipan cake
The base of the cake is made from mixed grated almonds and powdered sugar. This is a very popular dessert in European and Scandinavian countries. It is unknown where the northern peoples have such a love for the marzipan delicacy. But the fashion for marzipan cakes has come to us too. Almond-sugar dough easily takes any shape, but there is one limitation in its decoration: fresh fruits or berries are not used. Their juice can destroy marzipan.

Cream cake
This original and soft cake is made with cream and butter. Cooks add chocolate, fruits, vanilla, nuts and other goodies to the composition. Unfortunately, such a dessert is undesirable for hot rooms. It melts very quickly. That’s why it’s so convenient to make a small single-tier Buttercream for intimate wedding celebrations. In such conditions, the cake simply will not have time to melt, because it will be eaten with pleasure by the newlyweds and guests.

Why is it customary to bake dessert for a celebration?
Some couples believe that cake is an unnecessary pre-wedding expense since it won't be eaten in full anyway. In fact, there is indeed a surplus of dessert, but only because it is customary to order it in excess. The overwhelming majority of guests at a wedding don’t mind treating themselves to something sweet after the main menu, active competitions and fiery dances, and if there is no treat, you will be left with a feeling of incompleteness.
The tradition of treating friends and relatives to a cake at a wedding has existed for four centuries with the easy serving of Europeans, and the multi-tiered masterpiece, which has become a classic, dates back to the 19th century. If there are many guests at the celebration, then at the end of the evening they see just such a dessert - large and beautifully decorated.
Ideas for decorating a wedding cake with cream
Modern confectioners have many ideas on how to beautifully decorate dessert for a wedding using cream. We are also ready to share a couple of ideas for those who want to create a unique tasty and beautiful cake at home:
- It is relatively easy to decorate a wedding cake with cream, because the butter structure is quite dense. Using butter cream, they create beautiful patterns on desserts, bows, ruffles, flowers and leaves.
- A new trend in cake design is a cake laid out with roses all over the surface of the dessert, forming a single layer. This decor looks very gentle and natural; the amber technique can add charm to the dessert.

- The cream ruffles on the cake imitate the curves of the fabric, which fill the entire surface of the dessert. This decor looks very airy and gentle; this design looks impressive on multi-tiered cakes.
- Cream curls are used for decoration; they look beautiful in combination with fresh flowers and berries.
- Another 2022 trend in the world of confectionery fashion is cream lace decor. This type of work can be done by experienced craftsmen and looks sophisticated and gentle.

There is a wide choice of wedding cake design; order the cake from an experienced pastry chef or make it yourself at home, creating a unique, beautiful and tasty dessert decorated with cream. It all depends on your preferences and wishes.
Another idea for decorating a wedding cake with cream:
Decor ideas
Let's look at the most beautiful and original wedding cakes. The photo below is an example of an ice cream dessert. Let's talk about him first.
Ice cream
This unusual dessert is suitable for the warm season, when guests want to enjoy a cool treat. Children will be delighted with it. Modern technologies make it possible to produce ice cream cakes of any size, color and shape.
Not all craftsmen take orders for the production of such desserts. You'll have to work hard to find a suitable bakery
It is also important to find out in advance from the owners of the wedding reception venue whether they have a good refrigerator in their arsenal. If you don’t have the necessary equipment, the ice cream cake simply won’t survive until it’s served. At best, it will simply lose its shape, and at worst, it will turn into a completely unattractive mass.
Lock
This dessert will decorate a big wedding. A huge cake is baked in the shape of a palace or tower. Sometimes confectioners make dessert in the form of an architectural monument. The Eiffel Tower is especially popular among young people. Fairy-tale plots are also in demand.
Using mastic and decorations, you can create real confectionery masterpieces - castles with princesses, princes, a carriage and a dragon, consisting of several floors and sections. Any cake layers and fillings can be used as ingredients for such a cake.
Falling dessert
For a wedding banquet, a multi-tiered option is often chosen. No wonder. At such a celebration, as a rule, there are many guests present, and everyone needs to be treated. To do this, you need to order a dessert weighing several kilograms.
An ordinary multi-tiered cake can be turned into an original one if you make the tiers in such a way that they are about to fall. Each “floor” is made from different ingredients. This way the dessert can combine fruity, creamy and coffee flavors. Each guest will choose a tasty morsel based on their preferences
In the form of cakes
This presentation was invented in the West. Instead of one large cake, many cakes with different flavors are served at the table, laid out on a special plate. It is very comfortable. No need to waste time dividing into portions. Each guest can take the dessert he likes or take it with him at the end of the celebration.
Many people wonder: what about the tradition of the bride cutting the wedding cake or putting a piece of dessert up for auction during a fun wedding auction? For these purposes, a mini-cake is baked and placed on the top tier of the dessert rack.
Eco-option
Today, caring for nature, ecology and health are fashionable and relevant. Newlyweds can show their interest in this issue with dessert. In addition, such a treat is really very different from the pompous wedding cake that most are accustomed to.
This dessert is made entirely from natural ingredients. Due to the lack of dyes in the composition, the cake cannot be too bright. But it is decorated with fresh wildflowers and other natural materials. This dessert looks very tender and unusual.
The most beautiful spring wedding cakes with flowers 2022 photos
A spring wedding cake, like spring itself, should symbolize the beginning of a new life. Therefore, when ordering the most important sweet dish, you should think carefully about its design
What should you pay attention to? Firstly, decide on the main color of the cake itself, and secondly, come up with the perfect decorations for it
Are you planning to decorate your wedding with flowers? Why not decorate your birthday cake with them, creating a truly spring mood. And we’re not just talking about confectionery decor, since fresh flowers are also suitable for desserts. Roses, peonies, dahlias, ranunculus and, of course, lush greenery will look very beautiful on a wedding cake.
Flowers are an integral attribute of all weddings
And even if yours won’t be surrounded by their greenery and aromas, why not treat your guests to a cake with flowers? And it doesn’t matter whether they are alive or made from sweet paste, the main rule is that the flowers on the cake and in the decor should either be the same or fit perfectly
Seasonal berries and fruits are great for decorating spring desserts. They will also be a very appetizing addition to wedding treats - cakes, cupcakes and pastries. Experiment with flavors: instead of rich cream, give preference to berry fillings, and also choose a cake with layers soaked in citrus aroma.
Wedding cookies
Of course, you won’t be satisfied with just cookies, but the trend for gingerbread and cookies is returning to the world of weddings. Treats with your initials, wedding paraphernalia or meaningful phrases make a great addition to the cake or a small gift for guests. Focus on the variety of shapes and make sure that the cookie decor fits into the wedding style - then the sweet table will look just perfect.

Delicious filling: which cake to choose?
Most often, cakes are made on the basis of sponge cakes, since it is not only simple and tasty, but also convenient for creating any compositions. Wedding cakes will look most beautiful in photos if they are made from sponge cake and cream. You can choose creamy, fruity or chocolate cream.
Many pastry chefs prefer soufflé cakes. These desserts are light and airy. By adding natural dyes, the soufflé can be colored in any color. As an addition, you can use marzipan, bird's milk and yogurt. Yogurt cakes will cost a little more for young people due to the presence of a large number of natural ingredients in them. With marzipan you can make the most beautiful wedding cake. Marzipan is used to make mastic that can be used to cover any cake layer, making the cake smooth and elegant. If you choose a marzipan cake, you should not add berries or fruits to it, so as not to spoil the mastic. The filling for the cake can be based on whipped cream and sugar. Thanks to marzipan, you can make beautiful cakes with all kinds of figures. Also, those with a sweet tooth will appreciate the completely chocolate cake!
On the Svadebka.ws website you can choose your perfect cake. The most beautiful cakes in the world take several days to make, so don’t put off ordering your cake until the last few days before your wedding. If you think through all the little details, you and your guests will be pleasantly impressed by the taste and beauty of your wedding dessert!

How to assemble dessert with your own hands
Assembling a three-tier wedding cake is challenging, thanks in large part to the bottom layer.
The lowest tier must withstand and not fall apart under the weight of the remaining floors. This can be achieved in two ways.
The first way is to make the base as heavy as possible. The second is to use skewers or wooden sticks to strengthen the bottom layer.
Let's look at the option of strengthening the cake:
- Buy a set of wooden skewers and cocktail straws at the store.
- insert one skewer into the center of the bottom tier.
- take it back and cut it to the desired length. Then cut the tube the same size.
- insert a skewer into the tube and stick it into the center of the dessert.
- repeat this a few more times in different places near the center.
After the above steps are over, feel free to install the second layer, and then the third. Now they won't put so much pressure on the bottom tier, and the cake won't fall apart.
The custom of selling a wedding cake came to us from ancient times. Back then it was still a “bride’s pie”, which had to be treated to every invitee, and to protect against the evil eye, guests gave a penny for the pie.

The most beautiful wedding cakes in the world: top 4 best
The most spectacular wedding cakes are often presented at theme fairs in different parts of the world, and their cost sometimes reaches tens of millions of dollars. But in this article we will only look at “real” cakes that were ordered for the weddings of rich and famous people.
Cake at the wedding of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
Kim Kardashian was voted the most glamorous bride of the year at her wedding to NBA player Kris Humphries, as was her tiered black and white wedding cake. The height of the culinary masterpiece was two and a half meters, and its design was developed by Patrick Hansen. The inside of the cake was chocolate and the outside was decorated with black and white icing and buttercream. The weight of the dessert was more than three hundred kilograms, and the cost was about 20 thousand dollars.
It is not surprising that such a large cake had to be disassembled in parts. First, Kim and her groom traditionally cut it, and then the waiters took turns removing tier after tier, dividing them into pieces and distributing them to the guests. If we consider the most beautiful wedding cakes of 2011, then the confectionery product at the celebration of the popular lady from the Kardashian family rightfully takes first place.
Wedding cake of Princess Diana and Prince Charles
The wedding of the heir to the British throne, Charles, and Lady Diana took place in 1981, and at that time it cost fabulous money. An impressive portion of the budget was allocated for the wedding cake. At that time it was the most expensive in the country. The culinary masterpiece was created according to the fashion of the time and looked very impressive both in the photo and in real life. By the way, its cost was 20 thousand dollars.
The height of the cake was one and a half meters; its appearance resembled a multi-tiered casket in the classic English style. The confection was created by Royal Culinary School chef David Avery. He decorated the cake with fresh flowers: lilies of the valley, orchids and roses.

How to cut and serve correctly
The wedding cake is traditionally cut at the end of the celebration. With this gesture, the newlyweds demonstrate that they are giving everyone gathered a piece of happiness and sharing their wishes for a sweet life.
The treat can be kept in the banquet hall throughout the entire celebration or taken out immediately before serving, and the process itself turns into a performance. You also need to cut the dessert correctly:
- Three-tier structures are cut from the bottom row.
- The newlyweds hold the knife together, the groom cuts it, and the bride guides it. The width of the pieces when cutting should be up to 5 cm.
- The first pieces are intended for young spouses.
- The next pieces are treated to the parents of the bride and groom.
- Figured decorations are removed before slicing.
- If the cake is heart-shaped, it is divided into vertical parts, after which it is cut horizontally into pieces of 5 cm. Oval desserts are first cut to form a square, and then divided into pieces.
Whatever the shape of the three-tier wedding cake, it will be the highlight of the celebration. After all, few will pass by such a confectionery masterpiece indifferent. A good pastry chef can bring even the most daring ideas of newlyweds to life. But in order for the design and taste of the dessert to exceed expectations, you need to imagine in advance what you would like to get in the end.

In the design of any direction in 2022, geometric shapes have become a feature. Wherever you turn your gaze, there are squares, circles, triangles, diamonds, etc. This trend has not passed by the fashion for wedding cakes. We can see not only cakes that are shaped in geometry, but also decorated with unusual geometric designs.

On the one hand, asymmetrical, bizarre shapes, cascades of flowers and even entire sculptural groups will come into fashion. On the other hand, simple geometric shapes, laconic design and discreet style, which is emphasized by several decorative elements, will always remain relevant.

Cake with jagged edges
A few years ago, desserts with “ruffles” were in fashion: decoration of the edges, similar to a multi-layered skirt. Wedding cakes 2022 take jagged edges to the next level, now featuring a completely smooth surface topped with a top that looks like it has been “torn off” by hand. Apparent negligence is deceptive - to achieve such a result, painstaking work is needed, otherwise the cake will turn out sloppy. Make sure that the chosen pastry chef has already done something similar so as not to get the creepy “expectation-reality” effect.

Classics hold their position and never cease to be popular, otherwise they would not be called classics. What do we mean? Flowers, stitching, and ruffles are some of the most common elements found on wedding cakes. However, pastry experts notice that although these points remain, the change occurs in quantity: the decorative design becomes either excessive or extremely minimalist.

Moreover, it is worth noting that design elements are increasingly being combined: fresh flowers and, for example, small desserts. Naked cakes, or in other words cakes with open layers, continue to gain popularity and will definitely be a common sight at celebrations next year. Experts also note that the fashion for brown chocolate cakes is returning. .

Vintage remains trendy, as we often write in articles about decor or dresses, but a cake can support this style. Next year, the fashion for watercolor motifs, which, in principle, appeared in the design this year, will migrate. But she calls for not limiting yourself to just invitations, but to continue such a delicate and attractive theme in the cake.

Beautiful original wedding cakes of small sizes 2022 photos
Let's start our discussion of wedding cakes in 2022 with more compact treats: one of the pastry trends is a single-tier cake! A treat consisting of one layer is decorated in the same way as a multi-tiered one, but the size of a single-tiered cake can be quite small. The fact is that for a wedding you can order single-tier mini-cakes - each guest will receive an individual small cake on a beautiful stand!
Calculating the weight of the cake is quite simple: it all depends on the number of guests. Each person will be able to eat about 150-200 g of sweets. Accordingly, these numbers must be multiplied by the number of guests, plus add a little in reserve if among your loved ones there are sweet tooths who will not refuse an additional portion of dessert.
The main thing in choosing the composition of a dessert is your own taste. However, it is also worth considering that this is the last dish at a wedding banquet, so you should not order a cake with buttercream and a lot of cream. Decorating a wedding cake made from protein cream looks unusually airy. A soufflé that is light in texture is also easier to decorate; yogurt cakes are very delicate in taste and not heavy on the stomach.
Mini Cakes
Why limit yourself to one wedding cake when you can line up a whole armada on the dessert table? Apparently, confectioners are guided by this idea when introducing a trend for individual mini-cakes.
This solution has its clear advantages: for example, you don’t have to settle on just one taste and please all guests with a sweet tooth with different preferences. Perhaps, baking a separate dessert for each guest would be too wasteful, but offering a separate dessert for each family or couple of guests sounds more logical
