The best cakes to order in Yekaterinburg in 2022

Today, no celebration is complete without a cake. From a simple food product, the cake has turned into a bright decorative element of the celebration. Recently, more and more people prefer products made to order. This is understandable, because when purchasing such a cake, you can be sure that it is made from quality ingredients, fully meets the taste preferences of the customer and his guests, and the design takes into account the characteristics of the client's character. Today, there are many confectionery and private craftsmen offering their services for making cakes in Yekaterinburg. Consider the main criteria when choosing a cake.

Criteria for choosing a birthday cake

When ordering a birthday cake, you need to pay attention to the following points:

1. The reason why you need a cake.

It can be a simple get-together with friends, a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding or a corporate event, a teacher's day gift or just a sweet present. If this is a purely symbolic event, you can get by with sweet pastries, cakes or desserts (now the so-called “trifle” has become increasingly popular - a combination of biscuit with fruit and cream in a glass).

2. Selection of dough and toppings for the cake.

The choice of dough and toppings is a purely individual matter, but when choosing a cake, you can easily get confused by the abundance of flavor options presented in the catalog. Today there is a huge selection of cakes: cottage cheese and cream cheesecakes, vegan avocado cakes, gluten-free, lactose-free, low-calorie, sugar-free cakes. The choice is almost limitless and depends only on the taste preferences of customers.

There are several win-win flavor combinations:

• the classic version is a vanilla biscuit with a berry filling to the taste of the client (it can be blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, black currants, lychee berries);
• sweet tooth will appreciate the combination of biscuit with chocolate or boiled caramel; lovers of unusual combinations will like carrot cake with homemade caramel and pear;
• young people will be happy to receive a combination of chocolate, vanilla plus some unusual ingredient (for example, lavender, pistachio, violet) as a gift.

If you still can’t decide on the filling, you can use a little advice: “imagine yourself in front of a kiosk with ice cream balls, in which you should choose only one flavor (one ice cream ball). The taste that you choose will be the base in the filling.

3. Design.

The design and appearance directly depends on the occasion and theme of the event, as well as the stylistic preferences of the customer. However, it is worth noting that there are current trends and fashion trends in the field of cake design and decoration. In 2022, cakes decorated in a minimalist style, decorated with fresh or sugar flowers (with the sugar flowers must be an exact copy of the real ones), watercolor, gradient will come to the fore. Also popular will be "naked cakes" - cakes covered with a thin layer of cream and decorated with berries and fruits.

4. Price.

Professional confectioners have an expression that a cake can be “cheap, beautiful, delicious”, but only if you choose any two of the three options presented, that is, the cake can be either cheap and beautiful, or cheap and tasty. This should be remembered when choosing a cake, based on the cost of the product.

5. The size.

In order for all guests to get at least a piece, there is a simple calculation rule: each guest should have 150 grams of cake (in the case of children's orders, 100 grams).

6. Tasting.

Most people are skeptical about tasting when placing an order, considering it a waste of money and time.When choosing, say, a birthday cake, it is possible to do without it, but not in the case of a wedding cake. Newlyweds invest a lot of effort and money to ensure that the most important day of their lives goes perfectly, and it will be a shame if the wedding cake is not the most successful. Taste preferences are individual and even professional confectioners will not be able to predict whether a cake will be liked or not. It is not for nothing that confectioneries that care about their reputation insist on tasting (if the confectionery does not have such a service, you can order the smallest size of the selected cake for testing).

7. Delivery.

Courier delivery is another important point when choosing a confectionery. Few people think about how difficult it is to bring a bulky cake to the venue of the event, so it's better that professionals take care of it.

8. Production time.

On average, the cake production time (pre-order period) takes 2 weeks, however, some pastry shops offer a “rush order” service (24 hours to prepare the product).

9. Additional features.

It can be holding master classes in the preparation of sweets, an excursion to our own production, Candy bar. Candy bar - a buffet table with sweets, made in a single style, which can be assembled for any occasion (wedding, party, birthday for both adults and children, corporate events). Candy bar usually includes the following elements:

• birthday cake;

• cake - pops - round cakes on a stick, covered with chocolate colored icing;
• macaroni (macaroons) - round multi-colored almond cakes;
• meringue, painted in different colors and decorated with fresh berries and fruits;
• handmade sweets.
