Introduction to the pa rennfaire wedding cakes

The Pa Rennfaire Wedding Cakes is the perfect dessert for couples who want to add a touch of medieval romance and rustic charm to their big day. Adorned with edible flowers like lavender and violets, this cake offers both beauty and flavor. The creamy buttercream frosting provides a rich backdrop for the vibrant flowers, while the rustic finish gives it a handcrafted, charming look, making it ideal for a Renaissance or fantasy-inspired wedding.

Ingredients:

For the cake:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk

For the frosting:

• 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 5-6 cups powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• A pinch of salt
• Food coloring (optional, for a rustic look)

For decoration (optional):

• Edible flowers (like lavender or violets)
• Fresh berries (blackberries, raspberries)
• Antique-style cake toppers (such as figurines or scrollwork)
• Gold leaf or metallic decorations
• Fondant designs (for a medieval look)
• Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a natural touch

Directions:

• Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans (8-inch for the bottom tier and 6-inch for the top tier).

• Make the cake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

• In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth.
• Bake the cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

• Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
• Make the frosting: In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Beat for 3-5 minutes, until the frosting is light and fluffy.
• Assemble the cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, trim the tops of each cake layer to level them if needed. Place the larger cake layer on a cake board or serving platter as the base.

• Spread a thin layer of buttercream frosting over the top of the bottom tier cake. Place the smaller cake layer on top and press down gently. Spread a thin crumb coat of frosting over the entire cake and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
• After the crumb coat has set, apply a thick layer of buttercream frosting over the entire cake, smoothing it out for a rustic, medieval finish.
• Decorate the cake: Use edible flowers, fresh berries, or herbs for a natural, medieval-inspired look. Add antique-style cake toppers or fondant designs, such as scrollwork or roses, to complete the Ren Faire aesthetic.

• Slice and serve the cake, adding a touch of medieval charm to your Pa Rennfaire Wedding Cakes celebration!
