Cream wedding cakes can be made in a wide variety of shapes and fillings. Let's highlight their features, as well as some advantages and disadvantages.

• Cream wedding cakes mean not only creamy filling, but also full decoration of the product decor with cream. On the one hand, this is a huge plus, because such a confection looks really luxurious, but on the other hand, creams can be quite greasy, and not for everybody.
• The biscuit cakes are very satisfying, so the average product is quite enough to feed all the guests.
• Cream cake can be made in a wide variety of shapes. Multi-tiered round cakes are especially popular, but if they are very large, then sometimes questions arise in their transportation. Square and heart-shaped options are also popular.
• To make the cake less greasy, experts recommend choosing cheese layers for the cakes, as well as protein and chocolate ones.There shouldn't be any problems with fillings, confectioners offer them in the widest range.
• The peculiarities of wedding cakes also include the fact that they must be favorably combined with the entire table setting and match the style to the very identity.

In general, cream cakes have much more advantages, if only because they look really chic and luxurious, and for the price, as a rule, they suit many newlyweds. Combined cakes with fresh flowers and mastic elements are quite expensive. As for the fat content of confectionery, this is not such a significant disadvantage, since a suitable cream for the filling and external decor can be chosen taking into account the wishes of the customer.

Cream wedding cakes are a pretty broad concept that includes a lot of meaning. As already mentioned, cakes of this type imply not only filling, but also decor. Next, we will consider the main types of cream from which confectionery products for a wedding can be made.

• Protein. This cream is the lightest meringue-like consistency. It is non-greasy and perfectly absorbed by the body, and also tastes good. This type is used both for the impregnation of the cake layers and for the main decor. It is usually complemented with various fruits as decorations.

• Very often, for multi-tiered cakes, they choose butter creams, which perfectly glue the layers of the confectionery together. Also, the consistency of such a cream is ideal for creating airy figures on a cake. Very often, confectioners make swans and all kinds of flowers.

• Butter creamare usually obtained from high quality condensed milk. Dessert with such a layer is usually considered heavy and quite high in calories, but no other cream has such a taste. Ideal for impregnating cakes. It has been very popular since Soviet times.

Today, confectioners offer a wide a selection of different styles of cream cakes.

• To get an elegant minimalist cake, you can ask the pastry chef to make a textured surface from buttercream, which usually requires a minimum amount of decor. It will be enough to decorate the product with several flowers or berries.
• By using special confectionery chocolate on a cream cake, you can create very unusual, and at the same time beautiful streaks. On such a cake, you can install ready-made figures of the bride and groom. The product will turn out without all that is superfluous, but very festive.
• Flowers and other figurines are usually created using a special pastry syringe. It takes quite a lot of time and effort, and therefore real works of art are valued dearly.

• A small but noticeable wedding inscription can be made on the cake. It can also be made from cream or chocolate.
• Cream cakes decorated with fresh flowers and French airy macaroons look very elegant. As a rule, such products are completely coated with cream to obtain a smooth surface on which the entire decor is located.
• No less often, cream cakes are decorated with mastic wrap and various figures from it. I would like to note right away that the mastic is made exclusively for decoration. Despite the fact that it is edible, it does not have any special taste, so it is simply not eaten. In the cakes with mastic, all the attention is paid to the delicious cream filling.

• We especially recommend paying attention to the ombre cream cake. Ombre is made from layers of cream, due to which such a beautiful transition from color to color is achieved.
• A multi-tier white cake covered with white cream can be varied with fresh contrasting berries. Blackberries, raspberries and strawberries are in perfect harmony with creamy ganache.If you put berries and fruits beautifully, then they will look no worse than those that could be made from cream.
• A red and white creamy cake with heart-shaped roses located on it can look very original.

In addition to the interesting design, you should always take into account the size of the planned cake. Let's figure out what size sweets are.

• Single-tiered. As a rule, such products do not weigh more than 4-5 kg. On single-tiered cakes, a creamy frame with figures of swans looks great.

• Bunk. These cakes weigh from five to ten kilograms. They can be decorated with both fresh and cream flowers. These pastries are ideal for medium-sized weddings.

• Three-tiered. These products are most often chosen for weddings, the number of guests of which exceeds fifty people.

• Multi-tiered (more than 3 tiers). Such cakes, as a rule, are collected at the place of the celebration, since they are very difficult to transport, and the cream may leak during transportation.

So that the pastry chef can make the most desirable cake come true, customers should take into account several points and explain what they want to see at their celebration.

• It is highly undesirable to place toxic plants such as lilies of the valley and calla lilies on any cake; it is best to give preference to roses, chrysanthemums and peonies.
• It is very important to decorate a cream cake with fresh flowers at least 1.5-2 hours before serving, but you don't have to worry about a product with mastic, nothing will happen to it, even if it is made within 24 hours.
• You should be very careful with fragile protein confectionery. It is best if the confectioners themselves deliver the dessert to the celebration.
• The cake looks incredibly beautiful, the stand for which is decorated with real flowers or sprigs of decorative greenery.
