Wedding Cake Finishing Touches

All cakes can be finished in the following styles:

Italian Buttercream

Boiled sugar syrup and egg whites are whipped to a fluffy Italian meringue, then butter is added and the mixture is whipped until smooth. This frosting is rich and tastes great. Italian butter cream is white, though it does have the slightest hint of color from the butter.

Swiss Meringue

This meringue is simply sugar and egg whites. It is cooked together, and then whipped to full volume- this frosting stays bright white. Swiss meringue is great for a stucco, or old-fashioned swirled frosting look. It can also be lightly torched to give a bit of color dimension.

Rolled Fondant

This sugar mixture is firm and can be rolled and molded around a cake to yield a smooth, soft look. Simple decorations such as fresh flowers and ribbon work well with fondant. Fondant can be colored as well. Additional 75 cents per person

Ganache

Hot cream is mixed into dark Belgian chocolate. Glazing a cake with ganache gives a very dramatic and different look to the traditional white Wedding Cake. This looks especially nice with touches of gold leaf and bright colored flowers. Additional $1 per person

Extra touches

Flowers

Fresh flowers can be provided by the florist on the day of your wedding. Our pastry chef will arrange them on your cake based on your specifications.

Ribbon

A wide band of ribbon in your wedding colors can be placed around the base of each layer for a dramatic look.

Crystallized Fruit

When in season, fruits like Cherries, Figs, Grapes, Plums and Currants can be dipped in sugar for a special look.

Your Vision

All flavor suggestions, ideas and pictures are very welcome. Cake prices may be subject to change based on your personal desires and specifications.

Shapes

All cakes are round, unless specified a different shape: square, rectangle or other shapes are an Additional 50 cents per person.

Alternating Tiers

If you choose to have tiers with alternating flavors there will be an additional charge of 75 cents per person.
