Wedding Cake vs Pulut Kuning

I'm still undecided. Whether we're gonna have cake or pulut kuning for the 'cutting' ceremony.

Here's my two cents:



CAKE
I like cakes. But I hate wedding cakes. They are pretty but they're just what they are, a display. Simply a dummy, for show. Not edible, not for tasting. Most of the wedding cakes that I ate are tasteless. After the cake-cutting ceremony, most people are already going back so there'll be a huge leftover of that tasteless cake. Who's gonna eat all the fondant, icing, creams and the hard cake? Plus, they are overpriced. A 2-tier cake is priced at RM300?! That's insane! *ok, I'm a cheapskate. ;p * But the best part is, they can be made custom according to your liking. You have choices of design, color, flavor and yes, tier.






PULUT KUNING
They're traditional, suit Malay weddings well and are a favourite among the elders. My mom's a huge fan of pulut kuning. Me myself would rather eat pulut kuning rather than a slice of wedding cake. Plus, you can put any type of gravy to your liking. Mutton, beef or chicken curry. They are all tasty. People won't think twice to pack it home, compared to cakes. But unlike cakes, you can't change the color to suit your wedding theme. Just imagine if your wedding's theme color is red and you wanted the pulut to be in that color as well? Horror! I pun takut nak makan pulut kaler merah. Bukan pulut kuning dah namanya tu.




SO
my vote goes to
















PULUT KUNING! (obviously, duh!)
Let's see what Johan gotta say on this then. But, I'm still gonna have a cake anyway. For the candy table. Hahahaha!

Wedding Cake

For my wedding, I'd like to make everything looks good and most importantly, AFFORDABLE! My dresses are cheap, my decos are handmade (I made roses out of paper napkins) and I plan to make my own wedding card (hopefully...). It's time consuming but I've started bit by bit from now. Just wish me luck!

For the wedding cakes...I don't think it's compulsory for our culture to have them. But it's a trend, untuk Malay wedding pun harus ada kek 8 tingkat! But I never like those multi-tiered wedding cakes. Most of them are pretty on the outside but taste yucky in the inside.These happened on most occasions where I've attended the weddings. Frankly, I don't really like wedding cakes. They are a expensive, and I don't intend to spend RM400 on a cake.

So I came up with an idea. I can bake, not that good but people like my cakes. What the heck, I could use my baking skills and bake my very own wedding cake. I read somwhere in a blog where this woman baked 39 pieces cakes and she stacked them up, and she came up with 5 regular size cakes for his brother's wedding. Wooshhhh!

Instead of one-tiered or multi-tiered wedding cake, I came up with an idea of making 3-5 small/regular wedding cakes, in different flavors. So my guest have various cakes to bring home, not just the same one. I'm not that rajin as well, so I might just came up with 3 types of cakes only. They are moist chocolate cake, orange cake and Johan's favorite, cheesecake. My budget for these cakes is RM100 max! Hope they won't exceed my limit.

This is a sample of what my wedding cakes will look like. I mean, the assemble. Different types of cakes, different flavors, different colors. I hope our guests will be delighted.

As for the cakestand, I need to head down to SSF after reading WLT's suggestion. I have a cakestand from Ikano already. But in order to implement my dream of wedding cakes, I need to buy at least 2 more cakestand. Boleh mintak sponsor my dad kut?

Do you think I'll succeed? I mean, making the cakes. Not mintak sponsor my dad. Hukkk!
