CAKE DECORATION FAQ

Buttercream, fondant, chocolate icing or chocolate velvet texture

Each cake we make to order is individually designed to suit your personal style and requirements. Our European style cakes with homemade fillings between the layers. Most customers choose to cover on cakes. There are several options for covering the cake:

Butter cream

Prepared from scratch using only real products. Buttercream ingredients for professional bakeries. This is a unicorn cake made entirely of buttercream.

Fondant

Gives cake smoothness and vibrant colors. The cake below is made from pink fondant.

‍

Chocolate glaze

White chocolate that can be created with any color and combination. This chocolate-coated cake on the right creates the illusion of a galaxy. Chocolate frosting is great for a shiny, textured cake.

‍

Chocolate velvet texture

A thin layer of chocolate applied to the surface of the cake. This gives the cake character and mimics fur like in this cat picture below.

‍

Sugar flowers

Many of my clients order sugar flower wedding cakes that go great with both traditional and more modern designs.
We handcraft our own sugar flowers, which we paint and often dust with powder to make them look like real fresh flowers. Popular flowers I created this year include: callas, gardenias, gerberas, lilies, magnolias, orchids, peonies, ranunculus, stephanotis roses.

‍

Natural flowers

Real flowers can also look great on your wedding, sweet 16th or anniversary cake, but we recommend that you don’t mix sugar flowers and real flowers as the moisture in the fresh flowers can melt the sugar. KingdomBakery prefers to use trusted local florists or other reputable suppliers to ensure that fresh flowers have not been treated with any harmful pesticides.
Remember that once cut, the flowers are no longer hydrated and begin to lose their shape. Roses are a good fresh wedding cake flower as they can stay fresh for up to six hours. Alternatively, consider gerberas, daisies, lilies, and magnolias, as they all look great on the cake and should be kept throughout the reception. However, you should avoid fresh tulips, poppies, and other delicate flowers that can fade quickly.

‍

Consultation

We encourage you to book a tasting so we can discuss your cake design in more detail and talk about cake flavors and toppings, and then a team member can sketch for your approval. Make sure you allow enough time between the meeting and when you need the cake so we have time to make the perfect cake for you. Cake tasting is complemented.
If you have already come up with a cake design, we can always confirm everything by phone and email, you only need to choose your favorite combination on the flavors and toppings page and place an order in our form!
