Beach Wedding Cakes

Looking for ideas intended a beach theme wedding cake?

When it comes to wedding cakes, extended gone are the days of following tradition. seeing as you are considering a beach theme wedding cake, you are obviously not a slave to those traditions. So...let's stray from the "norm" and be adventurous!

single thing to remember...thither are no rules! If there are...well, rules are made to be broken. Your beach theme wedding cake can be anything you want it to be!

What volume?

How many guests are you planning to encompass? If you have your cake made professionally it can range in price anywhere from $2.00 to $15.00 for each slice. A "slice" is normally considered to be 2 ounces or, approximately 4" x 2". The range in price
will depend on how much intricate detail you want on it. If the cake you select is very labor intensive, you can expect higher prices. If you are on a tight budget, keep it simple!

pardon Shape?

A beach theme wedding cake can be any size, shape otherwise description. Be creative. If you have an thought for your cake, plan it out on essay and take it to that talented friend, relative or your chosen bakery. If you can envision it, someone can create it!

Do not limit your thinking to a two or three tier cake. It can be round, square, a sheet cake, a sculpted cake, individual mini cakes, cupcakes or even cookies! various brides even choose a one or two layer, individual wedding cake active each guest table something than the traditional big cake at the beginning table. This is a nice idea because it also serves as the table centerpiece. This eliminates the added expense linked with having a wedding centerpiece at each chart!


A couple of things to keep in intellect though...

* Since your reception may be on the beach, consider the sun! If you are having a dawn or dusk ceremony, heat from the sun will probably not be a major issue. However, if you are having your wedding midday, consider an "ornamental" cake. By that I imply, not edible with the exception of perhaps the bottom layer if you and the groom sketch to cut it. You don't want your creation to melt!

* think draping your cake into a decorative manner inclusive of tulle to keep the bugs and sand elsewhere of it. It would be
beautiful yet feasible.

* Purchase decorative, individual cake boxes. Fill them also perhaps tie your wedding program or thank you to them with
ribbon. Keep them in a cooler until time to pass them out to your guests. They will serve as your wedding favor, killing two birds with one stone!

* create your own beach theme wedding cake! Look interior the next "Duncan Hines" cake mix you purchase. The instruction for baking tiered cakes are printed on the inside of the box! You can do it. If you can't, I'll bet you know a friend who could! into EVERY town there is a friend or a "friend of a companion" who makes beautiful wedding cakes. It's a hobby for them. They love doing it! Of course they still desire to be paid, although not the ridiculous prices that a professional will charge you.
So...go... find that friend!
