By Pamela Hardy


The historic aspects of some of the North Eastern states lend a spectacular setting for special events. A staple that can be both artful and delicious is the cake. When choosing wedding cakes Upper Marlboro brides and grooms have a lot to consider.

Pastry making is becoming ever popular. Television shows and food publications alike are paying special attention to this delicate art. Cake making and sugar sculpting go hand in hand with more widely recognized art forms. With so many talented people in the field a couple should be able to find a grand cake design to please any pocket book.

Upper Marlboro and neighboring Prince George County are renowned for their popular and historical locations. The beauty in these sites attracts many who are planning a big day and as a consequence the surrounding area is full of able designers ready to fulfill orders for all types of special event catering. When considering the cost of a cake it can be crucial to remember that most will price the cake by the slice so the overall cost will depend greatly on the head count. Increases in price can be expected as embellishments on the dessert are made.

Many quality decorators will have years of experience and may have performed an apprenticeship or attended pastry school. This considered they should be well versed in everything from basic butter creams to fine frosting flourishes. There are designers each with specific specialties and the way a cake looks really is only limited to a person's imagination.

When at a loss for design themes a couple could start by using the colors already found throughout the event. Most bakers can make nearly every element of the cake edible. This can include design aspects from sugar paint flourishes to pressed fondant ribbons.

A crowd pleaser for guests may be a cake that includes elements that are personal to the bride and groom or are characteristic of the surrounding area. When creating wedding cakes Upper Marlboro designers might look to lacey embellishments to reflect the town's roots. Flowers that are used in decorations can be either made of sugar or chocolate or the real thing.
