Designer Wedding Cakes Can be Absurd to Extremely Simple

Everyone has a different opinion when it comes to designer wedding cakes. Designers are no different than you and me. Each one has their own techniques and styles.

What makes the designer wedding cake? Designers are people who have made a name for themselves decorating cakes. They’ve done it very well for a period of time and people have noticed their work. Word gets around and before you know it they are famous. Then everyone wants a cake designed by them.

Each designer has her or his own style. One style is the modern or out of the box look. These designer wedding cakes can be about anything. The wacky cake, as it is known, was designed to look like it could fall over at any minute. Different shaped teirs are stacked one on top of the other, at tilting angles. Teirs of cake in very bright colors with polka dots all over is another very modern cake. The list could go on forever.

Some designers only work with fondant. Fondant is the type of icing that is rolled out like dough and used to cover the cake like frosting. Once it is on the cake the designer uses a special tool to smooth it. It makes the cake looked perfectly smooth. Then the designer can add frosting decorations or use special embossers that press designs into the fondant. A fondant covered cake is beautiful, but the fondant is tasteless and hardened to a rock like finish. It’s very hard to cut.

The traditional cake is what a few designers like to do. They put on all types of decorations and flowers, always using a butter cream frosting. These designer cakes are always in style.

The designer wedding cake in the picture above,combines simplicity with elegance. Notice how just by placing assorted size dots randomly on the cake, gives it a look of distinction. This designer is known for the simple designs that are very unique.
