Every event brings with it a sweet ending

In recent years there is a tendency to choose American-style cakes, with 3 or more tiers, usually covered with sugar paste or “naked,” although the typical Italian Millefoglie is always a success, especially if it is freshly made in front of guests.

The filling can be chosen according to taste, and there can be several variations.

On the other hand, if there is no ideal place for the cake cutting, it can be created with a frame or arch decorated with silk drapes and flowers. Usually the cutting of the cake deserves a privileged place, perhaps a table under a gloriette that can be decorated with the flowers of the cake that recall the decorations of the event, candles, or petals, or in a place with a magnificent view or in a place where following the cutting of the cake, fireworks can explode.

The choice of the type of cake varies according to the type of event we want and also according to the tastes of the bride and groom. The Cake during the party plays a very important role, often closing the evening before we start dancing, so we usually want to create a WOW effect (let's not forget that we will have beautiful photos with our cake!). The custom of having a multi-tiered cake seems to be of medieval origin, apparently representing the wish for abundance for the new family Italian cakes: Sponge cake, with a filling of your choice (cream, chocolate, cream and chocolate chips, cream and berries...), and decorated with whipped cream, fruit, the flowers from the bride's bouquet. This cake can be multi-tiered, and we often find it on risers that also create some movement.

The famous Millefeuille: 3 layers of puff pastry interspersed with filling of your choice. In recent years, they really like the combination with berries, both because it tastes good and because the decoration with red fruits, is very aesthetically pleasing. This cake is always 1-story. It can also be very large, and lately they really like to assemble it in front of guests Fruit cake: typical cake always appreciated, it can be large in size but always only 1-story. Fruit cake is a pastry base with cream and fresh fruit American cake: Very scenic cake, also popular with Italians. Made with layers of sponge cake filled as desired and covered with sugar paste. If desired, each tier can have a different filling, and can be large in size and several tiers. If we want a very large cake, even if we have few guests, we can also decide to put in 1 or 2 fake tiers, and then continue with the real cake: in this way we have a large cake, but there will be no waste, neither of cake nor of money. Naked cake: very popular in recent years, it is a tiered cake without a lining. You can clearly see the cake tiers and the filling. Usually decorated with flowers from the bride's bouquet Ruffle cake: this is a tiered cake, covered with a layer of butter that is not smoothed, but ruffles are created. Usually few flowers are placed to decorate the cake, but flowers are placed around on the table that holds it.

Cake toppers are simply those figurines that are put on top or in the center of the wedding cake.

The origins of the cake topper are still unclear: it seems that the first ones made of plaster or resin date back to the late 1800s, but legend has it that in the early 1900s, a father created a wooden figurine to put on his daughter's wedding cake to celebrate the love of the newlyweds.

Later this example was copied and the cake topper trade began, initially created in wood, wax or paper. The cake topper also became part of the must-have accessories for a wedding, and after seeing for so many years figurines in the shape of newlyweds in love, today we have everything.

Each cup now chooses the most personalized one, in fact we find:

- couples on motorcycles (like our Claudia and Vinicio),

- couples with a dog or cat, couples with children (like our Andre and Monica),

- couples stylized with Fimo paste,

- names of bride and groom-to-be and whoever thinks of the most, the more they will have!

At the end of the party the cake topper will be a nice keepsake to keep at home

 

In Italy, for celebrations like weddings, baptism and communions we use to offer “confetti”.

"Confetti" are almonds covered with caramelized sugar.

It is customary to place them in decorated bags and give them to guests as favors, always in odd numbers because odd numbers are indivisible thus symbolizing union.

For weddings, 5 should be given, representing: health, fertility, wealth, happiness and long life.

The story goes that in Ancient Roman times, guests at parties were supposed to bring hard candies as a sign of good omen and a predictor of wealth.

Another tradition says that at the end of the ceremony outside the church confetti were thrown. In those days they were much lighter in fact inside the confection was not an almond but a coriander seed, hence the name "confetti"

Today there are many types of confetto, from the most classic with almond to chocolate the the most curious flavors as strawberry, pistacho or mojito flavor, watermelon, spritz and the list is still long.
