Beer-flavored Cake? How Crumb de la Crumb Creates Wedding Cake Flavors Based on What Couples Love
Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Spicy...sweet...chocolatey...beer flavored wedding cake? With custom cake flavors, Crumb de la Crumb takes wedding cakes to a new level. I've always been impressed with the design skills of Nashville cake artists but now, you can partner with Crumb to design your cake AND your cake flavor. And, we're not talking strawberries and cream, chocolate pound cake or new twists on tradtional flavors, we're talking - sit down, tell us what you like to eat and get a cake with notes from your favorite flavors. Unreal.
Lorie of Crumb de la Crumb happened to mention their custom cake flavors in passing and it raised my eyebrows. If you are a foodie and wants a cake with a distinct flavor that your guests will remember, here's how it usually works:
~Lorie meets with the bride and groom to get to know them.
~The couple tastes a variety of their most popular flavors, textures from their bakery.
~Once the couple has hired Crumb de la Crumb, the team starts working on the custom look and the taste.
~Lorie digs deeper into the couple's loves - from their favorite desserts to food and drinks - anything that might give her an idea of your taste palette. Some couples bring in samples of what they love.
~Lorie designs cake flavors based on what she learns and the couple chooses their custom flavor or they modify until the taste is perfect for them.
One groom was a beer connisseur. He likes premium beer and brews his own. He brought Lorie 3-4 of his favorite beers and she designed a flavor based on those beers. Lorie created infusions and buttercream all laced with beer. For the groom this experience was more enjoyable and very different than going to a bakery and getting a traditional caramel cake. Everything is tailored to the bride and groom, from design to flavor. Crumb de la Crumb wants it to taste as good it looks and believes the taste should also reflect them. After going through the experience of creating a custom flavor, Lorie says most Crumb clients opt for the custom flavor.
