All weddings have certain basics in common and the wedding cake is among the most important. Whether you’re planning a small family gathering or a large, gala affair, the wedding cake normally takes center stage when it comes to reception decorations.
Just like almost every other wedding detail, wedding cakes also follow popular trends. In past blogs, we’ve discussed the trend toward geometric shapes instead of the traditional round cake. We’ve also touched on more popular cake flavors, and which cakes tend to freeze best for that one year anniversary celebration. Now we want to share the preferred frosting type for the 2010 wedding.
In past years, fondant has easily been the bride’s favorite because of its versatility and clean look. However, fondant can be found lacking when it comes to taste and can also be quite costly. The new frosting choice for 2010 has returned to buttercream. Today’s bakers have found ways to make this flavorful frosting with the same smooth, clean look of fondant without the extra expense.
So when it comes to today’s most popular frosting choice, you can have it all with buttercream. Lower costs, beautiful versatility and delicious taste; it’s truly a ‘buttercream dream’ come true!
