Cakes - Buttercream or Fondant?

September 10th 2009

A common question from brides at their consultation is about the difference between Buttercream and Fondant icings, both in taste and cost. Both are used extensively for wedding cakes.  A wedding cake professional should help a bride find an option that will work with the bride’s budget and make the cake beautiful.

What’s Hot? What’s Not?

You’ve just gotten married in the Temple, you’re on cloud nine and it’s time to start the celebration! We sat down with Mary Crafts, owner of Culinary Crafts, for some fun trends for LDS receptions.

A growing trend for LDS brides is to have food “stations” instead of a plated dinner or buffet. The goal of this type of reception is to have the guests mingle and talk to each other. And so the focus of the night is not to stay in your seat and eat your dinner, but rather to get up and visit the various food stations.

Picking the Perfect Wedding Cake

-By Wedding Cakes by Dawna

March 12th 2009

Focal Point:

A bride’s wedding cake is often considered to be the focal point of the wedding reception.  It can be ordered from your local bakery or a specialty bakery that specializes in custom wedding cakes.  Most bakeries allow the bride and groom to choose from different cake shapes and sizes and will decorate the cake using the color theme from the wedding.  The cake must not only look good but taste good as well.  Custom bakeries allow multiple flavor choices for the couple to choose from.  The cake is often the final remembrance of the couples wedding day.
