Sentiment remains| oP tsi cakes

June brides mhay be pleased ' to learn that they haven't auto-

mated all the se: out of the wedding cake. - The decorative roses, for, ex-

John Sluiter uses no’ marzi- _pan. He spins the tee continu- ously, building bud and leaves with icing.

Mr. Sluiter is one of three men of the Toronto headquart- ers of General Food Products who do nothing but decorate cakes. In the wedding season, June through September, they do several hundred a week.

Even in their expert hands an average two- to-four- tier cake takes an hour just to'.decorate after a base icing has been put on, With top icing time includ- ed, it takes ahout two hours. PREFER FRUIT CAKE

In Canada almost all wedding ‘eakes are fruit cakes, Mr. Slui- ter says. In his’ native Holland and other European countries, pound cakes with marzipan ic- ings. are favored. White cakes are popular in the United Stat-

es.

The ‘biggest wedding cake he has decorated was a display cake 10 feet high. The most ex- pensive special occasion one was an eight- tiered $800 anni- versary cake. And the most fa- mous confections he has turned out were the petit fours he dec- orated for Queen Juliana’s wed-

ding.

J. M. Smillie, production manager, explained that fruit eakes are matured for a month or two, then given a coating of almond paste and a base icing. . The specialists take over to

apply a top icing —- called a royal icing —- and. the decora- tions. The royal icing used to be made of egg whites and icing sugar but was too hard to cut through, so a softer icing as been developed.

Mr. Smillie says the bakers are no longer asked to bury things, such a8’ wedding rings, in the cakes. They are sometim- es asked, however, to match the icing to the color of flowers on bridesmaids’ dresses, a-switch from the days when all wedding cakes were iced in white.

KEEP FOR YEARS

As a sentimental touch brides sometimes ask that ornaments from. their mothers’ ‘or. grand- mothers’ wedding cakes be used.

And they often still keep the

top tier of their cakes to be eat- en at the first christening. Mr: Smillie says the cake will keep for years in airtight con- tainers, at low temperatures, or in freezers. —

Bakeries have a few tricks to keep the. cake looking attrac- tive. They will pre-cut the cere- monial slice and set it back in the cake. Then it can easily be lifted out with no danger of dis- turbing the rest of the cake. They are also prepared. to supply “kitchen cakes” to be cut and served so the ceremon- ial one can be left untouched. Most wedding cakes are order- ed from a catalogue of standard designs, but they can be made to order, and people sometimes bring ‘in pictures of cakes that they want copied. ,

Most popular is a three- tier eake weighing. about 16 pounds that serves about 120. without the top tier. One of the more ex- pensive standards is a four-tier that weighs about 50 pounds, ser: ves 540 and costs $85 to $90... A two-tier 1152-pound cake costs about $18. The company figures about 10 pieces of ¢ to the pound. i
