Cakes have always been a part of any celebration. From weddings to baby showers, from graduations to bar mitzvahs, cakes are the staple diet of parties all over the world. The good news is that with today's modern technology and baking science, cakes can be made in flavors and shapes to suit any celebration or special occasion. From traditional sponge cakes to extravagant cupcakes, from beautifully designed pastries to delectable cookies - there's no shortage of delicious treats for any taste. For this reason, it's important to take a moment to consider what your options are when it comes to the type of cake you would like to serve at your next party.
Popular Types of Cakes
One of the most popular types of cake is one egg cakes. They're simple to make, usually only requiring a single egg and butter combination and are available in a variety of classic flavor combinations. Classic vanilla and chocolate cakes are a favorite around the holiday season. One egg cakes can also be whipped into delicious chocolate truffles for a unique treat. There are a number of other creative one egg cakes that feature colorful frosting or other decorations and toppings.
Wedding Cupcakes
Another option for wedding cakes is wedding cupcakes. These beautifully decorated treats are perfect for any celebration, including weddings. Decorations can include fresh flowers, candles or floral accents, bows, ribbons, and even confetti. You'll find that these are usually smaller than traditional wedding cakes and easier to make. One cup cakes can be filled with your favorite flavors and paired with a variety of delightful fillings, from whipped cream to fruit to chocolate to nuts.
Salted Caramel Chocolate Eclairs
Salted Caramel Chocolate Eclairs is another example of delicious treats that come in cakes and are often found in a cake shop. They can be made by using browned butter, sugar and water. A quick soak in hot water will form a light caramel layer on the cake, which is then baked to golden perfection.
Wedding Cake Decorating
For the ultimate in luxury, turn to wedding cake decorating. Baked wedding cakes can be paired with beautiful handcrafted frosting flowers, gum paste flowers, and fresh berries. Specialty flavors can be added, such as lemon mint, or you can bake the cake and use your own recipes and ingredients. There are even kits available that can help you create your own cakes. Baked goods are always fun, but bespoke ones add an extra touch of personalization that makes them wonderful gifts for friends and family members. Your local bakery may offer these options as well, or you can find a reputable cake shop that sells both.
New York Style Cheesecakes
Baked New York Style cheesecakes are an excellent choice for any wedding. These cakes are available at many specialty bakeries as well as baking shops. The traditional recipe includes cream cheese, butter, sour cream, jello, honey, and granulated sugar. The best part about these cakes is that they come in many different flavors, and you can find them baked in a number of different styles, from basic round ones to ones decorated with bric-a-brac and ribbons. Baked cheesecakes can also be ordered online, and you can find special packages that include all of the ingredients, so you don't have to wait to be served!
Multi-Layered Cake
Another great option for a wedding cake is a multi-layered cake. Multi-layered cakes can be anything from a basic sponge to a multi-tiered cupcake. A popular variation is to use a white frosting for the cake and then use green or red frosting for various decorations throughout. Green frosting can be combined with red velvet to make a beautiful Christmas tree tier cake, or with white for a simple frosting for Valentine's Day. Multi-layered layer cakes can also be ordered online, and you can have them sent to any address, anywhere in the United States.
