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

• Butter creamusually obtained from high quality condensed milk. A dessert with such a layer is usually considered heavy and quite high-calorie, but no other cream has such a taste. Ideal for soaking cakes. It has been very popular since Soviet times.

Today, confectioners offer a wide the choice of a variety of styles of cream cakes.

• To get an elegant cake in a minimalist style, you can ask the pastry chef to make a textured surface of cream, for it, as a rule, a minimal amount of decor is required. It will be enough to decorate the product with several flowers or berries.
• When using a 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 figures are usually created using a special pastry syringe. It takes a lot of time and effort, but because real works of art are valued expensive.

• On the cake you can make a small, but noticeable wedding inscription. 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 a slinky mastic and various figures from it. Just want to note that the mastic is done exclusively for the decor. Despite the fact that it is edible, it does not have any special tastes, so they simply do not eat it. In mastic cakes, all attention is paid to delicious cream filling.

• We especially recommend that you pay attention to the cream cake using the ombre technique. Ombre is made precisely from the layers of the cream, due to which such a beautiful effect of the transition from color to color is achieved.
• A white cake of several tiers coated with white cream can be varied with fresh contrasting berries. Blackberry, raspberry and wild strawberry harmonize perfectly with creamy ganache.If the berries and fruits are laid beautifully, they will look no worse than those that could be made from cream.
• A red-and-white creamy cake with roses in the shape of a heart can be very original.

In addition to the interesting design, you always need to consider the size of the planned cake. Let’s figure out what size sweets are.

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

• Two-tier. Such cakes weigh from five to ten kilograms. They can be decorated with fresh and cream flowers. These confectionery products are ideal for medium-sized weddings.

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

• Layered (more than 3 tiers). Such cakes, as a rule, are assembled at the venue, as they are very difficult to transport, and the cream may leak during transportation.

So that the pastry chef could realize the most coveted cake, 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 can not worry about a product with mastic, nothing will happen to it, even if it is done in a day.
• It 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 branches of decorative greenery.
