Italian Wedding Cakes Are Gaining Popularity These Days

Wedding cakes have always been a staple in weddings, and their presence have varying meanings depending on the culture of the newlyweds, the color of the icing, who gets to eat it, and the cutting ceremony. Different traditions require varying wedding cakes, and one of the increasingly popular types is the Italian wedding cake. To get a genuine Italian cake for your big day, you need to find a specialty baker or a reputable Italian baker in your area. Using a wedding planner app can help narrow down the search and choose the best baker that can craft the most beautiful and tasty Italian wedding cake.

There are many options when it comes to Italian wedding cakes. The Millefoglie is the most traditional type, with a name that means, 'a thousand layers'. The cake is iconic for its many super thin sheets of pastry that is filo-like, interspersed with light cream like chocolate or mascarpone, dusted with sugar, and topped with seasonal berries. The result is a simple and elegant cake that does not tower.

If you prefer a tower cake, consider the profiterole cake, which is notable for its tall, conical towering shape. The cake is composed of several profiteroles, which are cream-filled round pastries coated in brittle caramel or dark chocolate. Bakers typically make the profiteroles first before cementing them together using chocolate or hot caramel along the surface of a material like stiff paper to form a cone.

Italians have their version of the classic tiered white cake, too, which is the most traditional wedding centerpiece that can be made in different styles. White icing traditionally represents the purity of the bride and her devotion to her husband. Crostata di Frutta is another traditional cake. It is not exactly like the conventional wedding cake, but can serve as an alternative if you wish to steer clear of tradition or you do not like cakes at all. The cake can be a scrumptious alternative dessert because of its colorful blend of fruits like apples, berries, and kiwi. This type of cake is symbolic of fortune and fertility, too.
