Indeed wedding cakes are available in many shapes and forms, and have numerous assets that can be put on to add flavour or merely decorate the cake. However to be more specific, I had to decide how my cook would look like, and what additions it would have.
By having the base of the cake already cooked, which would consist in a simple vanilla or chocolate batter, I will add the following components:
- Icing or butter cream to coat the cake base, plain and chocolate, this will allow the cake to lavished in white and brown cream as the preparation for the decoration.
- Fruits such as cherries or strawberries.
-Adding flavour with nuts and chocolate sprinkles.
- Icing sugar decorations such as petals or doves.
- The most iconic figures on the cake, the wedding toppers, the bride and the groom.
Alongside researching the components that are in the decoration of a wedding, i have also looked at the way of decorating it, I found a few videos, which showed a step-by- step how to decorate a wedding cake. this will help me to stage the animation, as well as understanding how each step is done. Although, I wont be showing an exact replica of each step on my animation, it will help me decide on which movements my character will want to convey.
As you may see to decorate a cake, everybody follows the same steps in the same order:
- Apply icing or butter cream onto the cake.
- Add ribbons.
- Decorate with frosting around the cake.
- Apply fruits, nuts and chocolate sprinkles.
- Add icing sugar details (doves and petals).
- End by adding the wedding toppers.
Alongside these videos, I found slightly different one, which works as a gallery to showcase different wedding cakes.

After such a delicious research, I just feel like stuff myself with a lot of sweets, ohh.... the sacrifices of research!
