The topic here is about Wedding Cake Decorating.

The traditional wedding cake was a fruit cake that was baked months before the wedding. Most fruit cake had to be wrapped in  cheese cloth and soaked in a little rum to give the fruit a special flavor.
At that time they would keep one part to cut up ahead of time wrap in pretty paper or boxes and hand them to the guest the day of the wedding.

Today the modern bride’s are not keen on the old traditional fruit cake. Most brides’ today like your typical white, chocolate or carrot cake recipes for a wedding cake. This cake can still be decorated in the same wedding cake decorating style as the fruit cake. Making a real wedding cake in three or four tiers can run into a lot of money as it has to be bake and decorated the week of the wedding. The wedding cake decorating on these cakes are done with a butter icing.

To brides and grooms who want to have a beautiful wedding and save money, here is suggestion to you.
Rent a fake wedding cake. This is made with Styrofoam cake dummies. Most times you can decorate with Frosted Flowers and other fun adornments. Wedding cake decorating can also be done with Silk Flowers as they come in many colors and it saves the time of making hundreds of Frosted Flowers. Wedding cake decorating can also have real flowers on a fake wedding cake to match the bridal party’s bouquet. When doing your wedding cake decorating be sure
You buy your own cake top to put on your Fake wedding cake  afterwards you can take it with you as your keepsake for many years to come.

Renting fake wedding cakes can save you money and a lot of headaches as they can be make up a head of time so you can look it over in advance, and it is light in weight and easy to handle. Most of the time, wedding cake decorating services will deliver and set the wedding cake up for you, so it’s ready to go and in time to take pictures. Of course if you’d like to decorate your own, there are plenty of places you can find dummy cake foam forms that you can frost and decorate yourself. Go to cake  forms and supplies to fine the products you will need to make your cake design and shape.
If you are looking to have real cake at your wedding for the guests to eat, then I suggest that you buy slab cakes to cut up for your guest as dessert and if there are any left over’s the family can use it later that evening or lunch the next day.

This is what most brides and grooms do that has asked me to do there wedding cakes. When getting a slab cake baked have them put wedding cake decorating on them as sometimes they put these cakes out on display where guests can see them. Many couples seem to like the idea of having the fake wedding cake and the slab cake for their guests. Whether you decide to use a cake dummy or make the real thing, wedding cake decorating is fun to do.
