Spring Flowers To Color

Planning a beach wedding is easy, and the cost is really quite reasonable. This makes a beach setting for your ceremony an option worth serious consideration. All weddings are held on a beach in some cultures. No matter why you choose a beach wedding, however, your ceremony should be just as elegant as the natural setting you select. This includes your choice of beach cakes. Wedding bakeries now offer many pastry options in addition to the typical multi-tiered cakes seen at more traditional weddings. Couples are able to choose from an exciting array of shapes, sizes, colors and designs for their wedding confections.

Following are some tips that will help you choose the perfect pastries for your wedding beach celebration.

If your wedding has a theme, you can choose a shape for your cake that will nicely complement it. Cakes shaped like flowers, boats, seashells, lighthouses or palm trees are perfect for weddings on a beach.

Color schemes are another important factor with beach cakes. Wedding cakes are often white or in subdued colors, but you might want to add some brighter, more playful colors to enhance your outdoor wedding. For example, if your wedding has a tropical theme, tropical flowers placed on and around your cake will nicely complement your theme. If your theme is musical, a skilled cake decorator will be able to embellish your cake with icing shaped like musical notes or your favorite musical instrument.

If your budget allows, you might want your cake and its frosting to have exotic, tropical flavors. Flavors that could be ideal to serve on your wedding beach include passion fruit, coconut and kiwi, combined with coconut cream or mango butter cream frosting. If your budget won't permit you have an unusually-shaped cake, your guests will love it if you pick something simple but have it мейд using one of these tropical flavors.

Many types and styles of pastries can be used for weddings, so until you see an example you might have trouble picturing the ideal choice. If you look for pictures of wedding pastries on the Internet and in magazines, it will stimulate your imagination. You might even be inspired to combine the best ones you find into your final design.

Some of these unusual options will help you get started:

Bem-casados: A Brazilian wedding tradition, bem-casados consist of egg custard, caramel sauce, jelly or other sweet concoctions inside two small sponge cakes. These cake sandwiches are available in an assortment of appropriate shapes, including rings, hearts and doves, and are served at wedding receptions in place of a more traditional wedding cake. Bem-casados are symbols of the sweet life the bride and groom will have together. For beach cakes, wedding bem-casados can be shaped like starfish, boats, flowers or sand dollars.

Wanda Italian Bowtie Pastries: These small, personal-sized pastries are traditional at Italian weddings. Usually shaped like bowties, you can stack them on a plate to look like a cake. The bride and groom in Italian weddings often begin a dance, with their guests then joining in. Everyone then dances toward the table holding the wanda plate, and everyone selects a pastry. Wandas are a delicious and fun substitute for a traditional wedding cake.

Cupcakes: Rapidly becoming a popular alternative to traditional wedding cakes, cupcakes can create an impressive display when arranged on a multi-tiered cake plate. A wedding cake has only one flavor, but that is not the case with cupcakes. You can present several flavors and let your guests choose their favorite. It is also much easier to transport and set up cupcakes than a multi-tiered wedding cake. Wedding beach cupcakes could be decorated with palm trees, turtles, tropical fish or other things that blend with your theme.

Use your creativity when selecting beach cakes. Wedding pastries at your ceremony should mirror your style, taste and personality.
