Choosing the Perfect Cake Flavor for Your Wedding

Special events call for special treats. From birthdays to anniversaries to weddings, cakes in Schaumburg, IL, often take center stage.

Let’s focus here on wedding cakes because that’s one of the things we do so very well here at Jarosch Bakery. We consider it one of our crowd-pleasing favorites that makes a special day even more celebratory.

A wedding cake is the focal part of every magical moment during the reception. How many times have you seen photos and videos of a cake-cutting and marveled at the beauty of the cake? So, how do you choose the right cake for your big day?

The first step is to think of your wedding’s theme. That will help lay the groundwork for the type of cakes you should ponder. Once you’ve thought about matching your theme, consider the season as well. Different seasons suggest different designs. We suggest that it’s always a good idea to check out samples ahead of time so you aren’t rushed to make a decision.

Don’t forget to make sure you get your favorite flavor. After all, it’s your cake and your wedding so it’s one time you should put your needs first.

The last point to keep in mind is the budget. Some say this is the first point, but when you’ve decided upon the cake you want, you can find the perfect example that will fit into your financial means.

This is something people of all nationalities can enjoy. Be sure to seek paczki with plenty of jam, such as strawberry, apricot, blueberry or lemon. Our bakers like to overfill these treats. Other yummy fillings include cheese, custard, and chocolate.

King’s Cake

Another great reason to consume baked goods on Feb. 16 is Mardis Gras. There is a limited time to delight in King’s Cake – only during Mardi Gras – because it’s thought to be bad luck to eat this treat out of season.

One excellent recipe for these pastries in Schaumburg calls for filling Danish coffeecake dough with butter, raspberry, or almond. Our bakers drizzle icing on top and sprinkle with colored sugar. Of course, they add beads and the baby figurine.
