Hand Painted Wedding Cakes
Every now and then I come across a new trend in weddings that absolutely blows me away. I have been lucky enough to stumble across such a trend. Nothing will personalize and glamorize your wedding like one of the most amazing trends in weddings; Hand Painted Cakes. A hand painted cake is an edible work of art. Like a traditional cake decorated with butter cream or fondant, a hand painted cake can be either elegantly simple or ornately complex. Either way they are absolutely stunning to behold. The designs and possibililties for this type of cake are limited only by imagination. So this is one aspect of your wedding where you can jump in with both feet and let your imagination run. Most good designers love it when you come to them with unique ideas and new challenges. And keep in mind a great designer will be able to help guide you toward your dream cake even if you are not sure what exactly that is. So make sure when choosing your pastry chef you not only taste her work but also peruse her portfolio.
Having spent countless hours coloring, molding, rolling and cutting fondant I can appreciate the heightened artistry and skill that goes into the completion of one of these designs. Although I am sure it takes a great length of time to master this art, I can’t wait to attempt a simple one for myself. I have already ordered the special brushes and watched hours of tutorials with talented pastry chefs creating these stunning sugar spectaculars. I have volunteered to make a baby shower cake for a friend and plan to incorporate some of these techniques. Of course I will keep you posted on my attempt!
