My name is Barbara Esses and I do events for a living. I'm Ruthie Hecht; I'm an event planner
and I work with and for my mother. We're going to teach you the do's and don'ts for the perfect
wedding.
There's an old adage the bigger is not better. Wedding cakes today have become extremely
economically difficult, they're quite expensive when they're four and five and six tiers.
But one can have an absolutely beautiful wedding be a single tier, a double tier, a bunch of
small cakes put together presented on some sort of levels. And one can do cake that is
beautiful, not expensive, not huge, because what you do then is you bake pans of sheet
cakes enough to serve all the guests, those will be in the kitchen and after your cake
is cut, those would come out. You can put the cake on a high top table, on some kind
of interesting stand; so that the cake itself is not big it doesn't mean that it wouldn't
have some sort of height. You can light it from far, you can light it from underneath,
many, many ways to take a small cake and make it look absolutely fabulous with enough cake
in the kitchen to feed the entire guests.
