Traditional decorated buttercream wedding cakes have been trending…

Brides have been choosing elaborate decorated buttercream style wedding cakes.

Facts: The traditional wedding cake designs were first made popular in the U.S. by the Wilton company, with it’s “over the top” unique designs the Wilton cakes shaped an entire generation style of decorated wedding cakes. The company began in 1929 by Dewey Mckinley Wilton who had an incredible passion for confectionery art. Even today many wedding couples are choosing elaborate decorated wedding cakes inspired by Wilton. In the early 1990’s the wedding cake was beaded in a fashion to resemble the bridal dress which had an amazing amount of beadwork sewn into the elegant gowns. For example, the damask wedding gown pattern started appearing on decorated wedding cakes at that time. Then later in the early 2000’s the buttercream decorated cake became less flashy with bride’s choosing a less elaborate decoration for the wedding cake because wedding gowns became less ornate and slimming like the “mermaid” style wedding gown.

Still the most popular wedding cake today from First Fruits Kitchen is the vanilla bean wedding cake flavor, whether it is naked, semi-naked, fondant, or buttercream decorated this flavor is the most popular. Our vanilla bean wedding cakes are prepared with what I call my “secret potion”, which is a unique “made in house” vanilla extract ingredient added to each vanilla bean wedding cake. This special ingredient uses hand scraped vanilla beans infused with quality golden rum and other unique flavor infusions.
