Brides can now get creative with their wedding decor, including the cake. Cheesecake wedding cakes are becoming more popular, with various flavors and decorations available. However, freezing can affect the texture, so couples should consider having a small tier of plain cake for their first anniversary.
Today brides are no longer bound by the strict convention rules. This means they can get creative with their wedding decor, setting, flowers and even the cake, making sure they reflect their own tastes and personalities. A wedding cake is traditionally white, iced and layered, with toppers on the topmost layer representing the bride and her groom. Increasingly, a cheesecake wedding cake is taking the place of the traditional wedding cake. A cheesecake wedding cake can be a plain cheesecake, or it can be one of many varieties of flavored cheesecakes and can be presented plain or decorated with flowers or other decorations. A cheesecake is usually heavier than other types of cake, but can still be layered with the right equipment as a base.
Depending on the preferences of the bride and groom, a cheesecake wedding cake can be enhanced with a variety of toppings and frostings. Some couples prefer buttercream frosting, while others like a chocolate frosting called ganache, and still others like fondant. The sides of the cheesecake may be dressed in ribbon, cookies, or chocolates, including carved chocolate roses or other shapes, and the top may have fruit toppings or a larger chocolate rose. Cheesecake can also be chocolate for the real chocolate loving couple and their guests. Specialty cheesecakes can be everything from raspberry and strawberry to lime or white chocolate, and tasty decorative touches can include edible nuts, berries, cookies and flowers.
One thought to keep in mind when choosing a cheesecake wedding cake is that freezing this type of cake can affect its texture. This fact comes into play if the married couple plans to follow the tradition of freezing the small upper tier and saving it in anticipation of their first anniversary. Couples who choose to go with cheesecake for their wedding cake should find an alternative, such as having a small tier of plain cake kept in reserve specifically for freezing. No one has to know it’s a different kind of cake, thanks to clever decorating that can icing and adorn it like the lower tiers of a cheesecake wedding cake. The flavors of the two types of cake can be paired as needed with many cheesecakes flavored with blueberries, cherries, liqueur, lemon, or chocolate chips.
