Posted byPaola Nadeau on Sep 2020 in Shopping and sales | 0 comments

Cakes are the traditional centerpiece of so many occasions. Birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, and especially weddings are all celebrations in which cake play a very large role. However, the cakes for these and other occasions are evolving. They are no longer relegated to the standard rectangle or round shape with the standard whipped frosting. No, cakes have become not only a delicious treat to eat, but a beautiful treat for the eye, as well.

As previously mentioned, people have long used cakes as a centerpiece for special occasions. However, with the advent of more artistic, designer cakes, these cakes can be created so that they are a showpiece that reflects the personality and lifestyle of the person being celebrated.

For example, take the traditional birthday cake. Many of us are no longer satisfied with a sheet cake that has “Happy Birthday” written across it in icing. No, now we want and even expect a cake with more personality. Children’s cakes are now often built around their favorite cartoon or storybook characters. With the advent of new computer technology, photorealistic drawings and scenes from these cartoons and storybooks can be easily placed on a cake. With more and more companies licensing such scenes and characters for cake decorations, you can have a designer cake for your child with the greatest of ease.

However, there are a number of other occasions that call for a special cake. Take anniversaries, for instance. Many couples are choosing to have cakes designed for them that reflect a special moment in their lives together. Whether it be a memorable vacation they took or something else unique to them as a couple, cake artists can now design cakes to commemorate these extraordinary moments. Bakers and artists are currently making designer cakes in a vast array of shapes and sizes. They can build cakes that look like sandcastles to symbolize a vacation to the beach or cakes that look like the first home that a couple bought together. So many things are now possible with the right bakers and artists.

Perhaps the most important cakes that most people will ever purchase are their engagement and wedding cakes. Designer cakes made for engagement parties often reflect the more whimsical or personal aspects of the couple to be wed. Much like anniversary cakes, these cakes can be created to symbolize a special moment in the couple’s history, the marriage proposal, perhaps. Or, they can be designed to represent a hobby that the couple both shares, like playing music or playing a sport.

Furthermore, wedding cakes are now often amazing works of art. Bakers and cake artists using cake, fondant, icing, and other edibles as their medium can create lavish and breathtaking art pieces that take center stage at many wedding receptions.

Cake artists are combining their talent for working with cakes and sugar with a knowledge of architecture to create amazing designer cakes for every occasion. These cakes are more than just something to eat, they are works of art.
