Can you eat fondant? Clearing up a common worry
What fondant is made of, why some people dislike it, and how we keep it thin enough to enjoy.
Delivering a tiered cake to a Bengaluru venue
Gate passes, service lifts and a cool table: what to arrange with your venue before a tiered cake arrives.
A tiered cake is heavier and more delicate than most people expect. A three-tier wedding cake weighs about 4.5 kg, stands over 40 cm tall and cannot be tilted more than a few degrees. Our team carries and sets up every tiered cake, but the venue has to be ready for it.
For apartment parties in Whitefield, Sarjapur Road or Hebbal, register our van with the security desk a day ahead. Gated communities often need a visitor pass, the driver’s name and the vehicle number. Confirm that the service lift is working; carrying a tiered cake up eight floors of stairs is not something we will risk. For banquet halls and hotels, ask the events manager where vendors unload and whether there is a time window. Some venues on MG Road and Residency Road only allow vendor entry before 5 pm.
The table matters most. It should be sturdy, level and set away from windows, stage lights and buffet heaters. A round table about 75 cm across suits most tiered cakes. Fondant cakes can stand in an air-conditioned hall for several hours; buttercream should be set up no more than two hours before cutting.
We arrive about 90 minutes before the event, assemble the tiers on site, add the flowers and check that everything is level. Set-up takes 30 to 45 minutes. Please give us a contact who will be at the venue, not the bride or groom, and keep the cake knife and serving plates on the table before we leave.
