Fall/Winter Themed Wedding Cake | Sweet Treat Supply

What better way to say “I love you” and tie the knot than with a fall or winter themed
wedding? While the season itself adds a certain extra-special something to the
wedding day already, creating the perfect fall or winter inspired wedding cake can
help put the day over the top. While crafting the perfect cake can be exciting and
rewarding, it can also be quite taxing if you don’t know where to start. At Sweet Treat
Supply, we can help you find all your supplies to craft the perfect DIY wedding cake.

Commit to a Style:



While wedding brain can draw you in on all things pretty and glitzy, you’ve got to
commit to a style. Traditionally, wedding cakes tend to be minimal and simple.
However, we also see a shift toward more elaborate and detailed wedding cakes.
Narrowing in on your style will help you determine what supplies you need to create
a homemade wedding cake.

Traditional:

If you like to keep things simple and minimal, a traditional style styled wedding cake is
for you. Often, these cakes are plain white with minimal color and decor or
white-on-white. There’s nothing boring about these cakes; white-on-white adds
elegance to simple wedding cakes dressed with edible white roses and pearls or
pearl dust.


Extravagant:

For glitz and glam, these are the cakes loaded with floral arrangements, metallics and
non-traditional color schemes finished off with edible glitter and embellishments or
accents. For this bride, if you’re looking to make a bold statement that will impress
your guests, this is the style for you.


Contemporary:

This style of wedding cake focuses on traditional designs with a twist. The twist
comes from a modernized element, such as geometrically shaped cakes, marble or
watercolor finishes to icing, metallic finishes, and bold icing color choices and designs.
Remember that if you’re going DIY, you need to be honest with yourself on how skilled
you are and how much time you’re willing to dedicate to putting together your wedding
cake or the process can be exasperating and tiring.

Naked:

Naked cakes are simple, but the look is unfinished and deconstructed. You can
easily dress up this cake with color from cake flavors, icing, and fruit fillings or fresh
fruits that fit the season. A more rustic and DIY themed wedding could be the perfect
setting for this style of wedding cake.

Woodland:

If you really want to capture the whimsical nature of a fall and winter themed wedding,
woodland cakes incorporate natural and minimalistic woodland elements like sugar
flowers or leaves. If a fall wedding cake is what you’re striving to achieve, our
maple leaf molds or acorns and wreath leaves molds can help you capture fall’s
essence. If a wintery themed cake is more your aesthetic, then our holly mold,
3D wreath mold or snowflake mold can help you decorate your wintery themed
wedding cake.

Trios and Quintets:

Sometimes, one flavor and one style just aren’t enough, and that’s okay. When you
need options, and for a bride, trios and quintets are the perfect way to display cakes
with multiple designs and different flavors. These cake designs are simpler, but
they can be as big and elaborate as you’d like them to be for your special day.

Picking the Flavors and Colors:



Traditionally, the most popular cake flavors tend to be vanilla, chocolate, lemon, red
velvet, almond and cream cheese, chocolate ganache, or raspberry filling. Lucky for
you, fall and winter offer their own special seasonal flavors, such as pumpkin,
cinnamon, maple, peppermint, licorice and apple. Deciding is the hardest part!
At Sweet Treat Supply, we have over 200 LorAnn flavorings and CK products
flavorings and extracts to choose from so that you can find the perfect flavor for your
big day!

flavored cake with our premium white cake mix. For fillings, we carry traditional and

Classic White Cake Recipe:

cake. The recipe can easily be modified to account for color and flavor with food

Ingredients

-- 2 1/4 cups (225g) cake flour
-- 1 cup (245g) whole milk at room temperature

-- 6 (240g) large egg whites at room temperature


-- 2 tsp. almond extract

-- 1 tsp. vanilla extract

-- 1 3/4 cup (350g) granulated sugar

-- 4 tsp. baking powder


-- 1 tsp. table salt


-- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup or 169g) unsalted butter softened but still cool, cut into cubes
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Prepare two 8-inch cake pans. (Use butter and flour, line with parchment, or spread GOOP)
2. (Make sure milk and eggs are room temperature.) Pour milk (I used whole), egg whites and extracts into a medium bowl and stir with a fork until blended.
3. Mix cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in the bowl of electric mixer at slow speed (just to sift and incorporate ingredients). Add butter, cut into cubes and continue beating on low for about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add all but 1/2 cup of milk mixture to flour mixture and beat at medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup of milk mixture and beat for about 1 minute.
5. Pour batter evenly between two prepared cake pans.
6. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs and has no wet batter clinging to it, about 27 to 30 minutes.
7. Allow cake to cool in pan about 5 minutes, then carefully flip onto a cooling rack to room temperature.
8. Frost cakes with favorite frosting and decorate as you deem fit.


Creating your own homemade wedding cake should be a fun and gratifying baking
experience. Whether you’re brand new to DIY or a DIY expert, at Sweet Treat Supply
