Choose A Cheesecake Wedding Cake

If you are considering a cheesecake wedding cake for your special day, you are probably already a cheesecake lover! Many people do not like the traditional white wedding cake and want to break away with something more tasty and versatile. A cheesecake wedding cake is a very popular choice.

If you still want a tiered cake, it is fine to have tiered cheesecakes. Of course, they can be heavy, but so can a traditional fruit cake. Just be sure that you have the tiers and supports set up firmly so that all of the tiers of your cake will stay in place until you are ready to eat!

You can put frosting on a cheesecake wedding cake if you want to. You can also add the traditional bride and groom figures, rose petals, ribbons and anything else you want.

If you are making the cake yourself, you will need to think about storage. Unlike regular cakes, a cheesecake wedding cake will usually need to be kept in the refrigerator. Unless you have a very large refrigerator you may want to store the tiers separately and assemble them at the location of the wedding meal. This also prevents them sliding around while you are transporting them.

Another possibility is to serve individual cupcake sized cheesecakes or small slices, presented on a tiered cake stand. This makes cutting and serving the cake very easy. Be careful not to make individual cheesecakes too big. Remember that guests have usually eaten enough before they reach the cake, and many people will only want a couple of bites.

Even if you have individual cheesecakes, you can still have the bride and groom cut one. They can take one serving, cut it in half in the traditional way with both of their hands on the knife, and then feed each other with the two halves. This can be a lot of fun to watch!

While cheesecake can be a good choice for a small wedding, it is often not so convenient if you have a large number of guests. Cheesecake is flatter so you need more cakes or layers, and that can be difficult to set up in tiers and support. However, you can get around this by having one small cheesecake wedding cake on view, and more in the refrigerator to cut and serve later.

Cheesecake offers a huge variety of possible flavors and colors. This means you have a lot of choice about how your cake will look. You can color it to suit the theme of your wedding, or offer different flavors on different tiers. You can even have a cheesecake wedding cake made in a particular shape, such as a golf course for a golf themed wedding.

You can also choose between different crusts. You may want to use crackers, cookies, chocolate chips, or have a delicious nut crust. For total decadence, try a white chocolate cheesecake wedding cake over macadamia nut crust.

So, you’re expected to make a toast at your best friend’s wedding, but you don’t know what to say. Honoring the big day and the new couple without either embarrassing yourself and them or coming across dry and wooden can be pretty tricky. You’ll want to put some thought into what you’re going to say and do. Let’s take a look at a few ideas that can help you get started.

First, think about who you are going to be toasting. There are a few conventions in formal or traditional weddings you should be aware of. For instance, as the best man, you’ll be expected to toast the bride. You may be permitted to toast others as well, depending on how formal the wedding is, so pay attention to the circumstances and feel of the wedding.

Start by letting everyone know who you are and how you know the couple. Remember that some guests just won’t know who you are. It’s best to make this clear from the start to prevent confusion. Next, you’ll want to show gratitude to the hosts of the wedding, whether it’s the happy couple, their parents or someone else. Thank them for welcoming you to the occasion.

Most wedding toasts also have a bit of an anecdote, including how you met various parties or how they met, stories you want to tell their children some day, and important elements in your friendship. Don’t go for clichés if you can avoid it, and remember to think about the audience. It’s important to cater to the highest common denominator, if there is such a thing, and avoid offending anyone, especially the parents of the bride and groom.

Learn about the cultures involved in a wedding when more than one culture is involved, and avoid inside jokes or adult humor. Nudity, inappropriate behavior, and sex are all topics left out of most toasts, and you probably shouldn’t talk about politics or religion unless you’re really sure of the audience. If you’re not sure the story is appropriate, avoid it. It’s better to be safe than sorry if you’re the best man giving a toast. Another good rule of thumb is to go easy on the alcoholic beverages before you give the toast.

Remember to offer a compliment about the bride and anyone else you’re giving a toast to. Don’t go on and on about how wonderful they are, however. That could end up boring your audience, and no one wants that. Instead, use just a few adjectives to tell the audience what you think is best about him or her. In addition, remember to end your toast on a positive note. A traditional toast quote, a blessing, or good wishes are common choices. Remember to use your head and think in advance, and you’ll come up with a great wedding toast that everyone will appreciate.
