Clinton News-Record, 1986-02-19, Page 43Cake, • from page 22 cake (also known as sponge cake) with a soft buttercream icing, are all popular alternatives. But despite their different tastes and selections, all bridal couples share one thing in common: They opt for the traditional white icing, symbolic of the bride, on their wedding cake. The traditional 6 -8 -10 -tier cake can be made with square or round layer's. The bottom layer is usually 10 inches and will feed 80 to 85 people. The muddle layer, which is 8 inches, serves 50 to 55'and the top 6 -inch layer will serve 30 people. The top layer of fruitcake, also called the groom's cake, is often frozen and con- swiied at the first anniversary or christening. Sonic couples elect to have a different kind of cake on each layer, reserving the top layer for the fruitcake For an average wedding of 80 to 100 people, the 6 -8 -10 -tier cake will do nicely. Couples with smaller weddings will often order a bottom layer of styrofoam. Known as the display layer, it is frosted to look like the rest of the cake and is so authentic that guests can never tell the difference. Another avenue that couples chose is to rent a fake cake for their cake cutting ceremony. Small pieces of groom's cake, individually wrapped in cellophane, are then passed out to guests in remem- brance of this special occasion. Legend has it that the bridesmaid who tucks one of these pieces into her purse hastens her wedding. Wedding guests who tuck a slice under their pillows are said to dream of the person that they will inarry, says Prichard. Another factor to be considered is the time of year you're holding your wed- ding. If you're holding your reception outside on a hot summer's day, custard fillings carry the risk of becoming tainted. Bet- ter to go with a buttercream icing, which holds up better than other frostings under the bright lights of flashes and video lighting. In keeping with a summertime theme, some couples, enjoy an ice cream cake at their outdoor weddings. Toppings on the cake differ with each customer. Couples in their early 20s often prefer the traditional bride and groom 1110 figurines on top. Older couples who are 27 and up gravitate toward the more sophisticated trim of bells, birds and flowers. Instead of flowers made out of frosting, some couples are choosing silk flowers to go on top of their cake. Anything goes for, wedding cakes — from the cake down to the trim and or- naments. Some want a traditionally trim- med cake using a few soft colors while other customers go for broke and order every color imaginable on their wedding cakes. And trim isn't only in the shape of roses on each corner. You're just as like- ly to find carnations, petunias made out of icing or even silk or real flowers. Real flowers are placed on the cake at the last minute to keep them fresh looking. Wedding facts • The first photograph of a bride was made in 1854 by a pair of daguer- ' reotygists named Southworth and Hawes. Weddings in Thailand take place in even -numbered months because mar- riages involve pairs. The Thai believe a marriage in an odd - numbered month, except the ninth mon- th, means that one of the partners won't live long.
