Melbourne Wedding Cake Information
How to choose your wedding cake design.

The Melbourne Wedding Cake

The bride and groom place their hands on the knife together and insert the tip into the cake, hold for a moment and make a wish.

The caterers then remove the wedding cake and continue the cutting in the kitchen. The bridal attendants then circulate among the guests to distribute the cake. It’s a social and meaningful function even if the guest takes their cake home in a small cake-bag. It is a special memento of the big day.

Choosing the Size of the Melbourne Wedding Cake

The number of guests influences how much cake you need unless you really want a big cake regardless of how many guests will be eating it. You can have your masterpiece made on a polystyrene base which you can keep and admire for a long time to come. You could have two or three tiers of cake and a fourth or fifth of non-cake to achieve that big look. But we digress – back to the question of size.

First decide whether the wedding cake is for the dessert or to have with coffee.
For dessert portion allow a 5cm square piece per person.
For a portion with coffee, allow a 2.5cm portion per person.

Keep in mind that traditionally the small top tier of the wedding cake is retained after the wedding to be cut on the occasion of the first anniversary or perhaps a Christening cake.

Melbourne Wedding Cake Styles

There are many shaped wedding cake tins available other than square and round however requesting this is likely to increase the cost of your wedding cake because anything a little unusual always costs more due to its unique nature. Brides tend to say “I want something different” and shape is one way of achieving this.

Not only can shaped wedding cake tins be used but also, cake artists can sculpt cake into interesting shapes or characters to your request. Very special workmanship like this obviously uses more time and this has to be calculated into the final costing.
