Mini Wedding Cakes

-- Mini Wedding Cakes --

For the stylish bride who wants major impact, serving up individual miniature wedding cakes is one surefire way to surprise and delight your guests – while leaving a lasting impression! The fact is, one simply doesn’t see miniature wedding cakes all that often. Most brides opt for a traditional cake, and some choose to serve darling little cupcakes - but presenting each guest with their very own individual wedding cake is a rare and memorable treat!

Mini Cake for Me and You

A mini wedding cake is usually around 3” wide, and can be in the shape of a circle or square – or something more inventive, if you wish! You can account for one cake per guest, or have them made to share between twos, if you prefer. Or, opt for slightly larger cakes and have one per table – a perfect way to keep conversation and laughter flowing.

Presentation

How will you present your miniature delicacies? Many brides opt for a tiered display, reminiscent of a traditional wedding cake. But, you can get creative! Consider displaying the miniature confections on large platters that work with your theme, such as silver for a traditional wedding or glass for a more contemporary affair.

Good Things, Small Packages

This old adage rings true when it comes to your miniature wedding cakes! Consider serving up adorable mini-versions of your dream cake – complete with sugared flowers, ribbons, and even double tiers. The idea is that the cake looks like a real wedding cake – just tiny, and individually portioned. If you love the idea, you might even consider using the mini-gateau as a parting gift – serve them regular cake during the ceremony, and then send them home with a tasty treat that will delight their eyes as well as their tummies! Make it elegant by adding pearls and maybe even a monogram!

Color Me Fancy

For a look that will show your guests you took the time to care, ask your baker to carefully coordinate your mini cakes to your wedding colors. Why make each cake the same? Consider having two versions of the cakes made, and then interspersing them artfully. This could mean having half your cakes frosted with yellow icing with blue swirls, and the other half blue frosting with yellow swirls. Get creative!

Talk to Me

If you have a strong vision of what you want for your wedding cake creations, it’s important to have a frank discussion with the person who will be creating your work of art. If you have some images of what you love, bring those along to your first meeting to make sure you are on the same path. Discuss size, flavor and style. Talk about how the cakes will be served, and whether they will be individually boxed or styled in an elaborate manner. Remember, your baker has no way to know what you want unless you specifically tell him or her – so don’t be afraid to speak up!

Serving miniature cakes to your wedding guests is fun, elegant, and contemporary. It’s the perfect way to add a special, unique touch to your wedding day! Say good-bye to the tradition of one large cake, and serve your guests a slice of delicious style by incorporating miniature wedding cakes into your big day.
