Ideas For Bridal Shower Cakes
8:19 AM
The wedding cake for any wedding is going to be something elegant, whimsical, or perhaps a little out there, but it will be all about the bride and the groom. Some brides have what are known as groom's cakes at the wedding, which are all about the groom. There isn't really such a thing as a bride's cake, but the bridal shower cakes can be just about her. If you are throwing a bridal shower for someone, go out there and find a great idea for a cake that relates just to them to make their shower all the more memorable.
The best thing about bridal shower cakes is that you can get or make just about anything that you think would suit the personality of the bride. This can be hard when you see all of the great options out there from which you can choose. Some people end up making the cakes because they get inspired by examples but can not find the exact cake that they think would be perfect for the bride to be. Once you decide the flavor of the cake, you then can get creative about what you want the cake to be.
Run of the mill bridal shower cakes are not that common any longer, but you can make or buy a simple cake if that is more in line with the personality of the bride in question. More and more, though, people are having specialty cakes made, in part things to the Food Network showcasing what people can do with some cake and some icing. These cakes come in sheets, but they can also be made in almost any shape or theme of which you can dream up. Go with simple and elegant if you like, or make the cake a lot of fun.
If your bride to be has a particular passion in her life, bridal shower cakes are a great way to honor those passions. Perhaps she has a sport she has played her whole life, loves to read, or perhaps she is involved in a particular charity. These can all be great themes for bridal shower cakes. Choose a theme, do an online search, and then see what you can find at your local bakeries. You will find some can do whatever it is that you want. If they don't have anything like your vision, talk to them about making it happen.
You can make your own bridal shower cakes if you wish. You may want to make a few practice cakes first, and you should make sure you are not going for something far too ambitious for your particular talents. You can find great cake making supplies at your local craft store, or you can order what you need from the huge variety of items that you can find online. Look for books that show you how to start with basic cake making skills and then see what you can whip up on your own. You may find a whole new hobby or small business out of the deal as a bonus.
