In 1961, the film “Breakfast at Tiffany's” was released, which made Audrey Hepburn famous. Her heroine lived above the Tiffany store, which personified the world she dreamed of entering. Since then, the word “Tiffany” has been considered synonymous with sophisticated luxury and elegance. During the filming of Breakfast at Tiffany's, the store was open to customers for the first time in its history on Sunday.

Tiffany style has its own color. Many define it as blue or blue-green, but to be more precise, it is turquoise. And to be absolutely precise, this is color 1837 in the international color palette. It can be combined with white, as well as chocolate, mint, coral, blue and even black. But the classic combination is, of course, turquoise and white. The turquoise color is not just a symbol, but a registered trademark of Tiffany&Co.

The second feature of the style is impeccable elegance. Your Tiffany wedding cake should look luxurious, but not vulgar in any way.

Wedding palette for cake decor in Tiffany style

The trend of the wedding season is confectionery in cool blue-green shades of silver-blue. This is the signature color of the Tiffany & Co. brand, which in the international color palette corresponds to the number 1837. Throughout the world, this color is considered a symbol of romance, so newlyweds often choose it as the main tone for the wedding cake. It is ideal for both a traditional white wedding and any celebration in pastel shades. Decorate a Tiffany-colored cake with white or chocolate fondant, from which confectioners make:

• roses;
• ribbons;
• bows;
• figurines.

The decor of a turquoise wedding dessert can be not only white or brown. The main tone goes perfectly with all pastel shades and even with red decorations. For contrast, cooks can add sweet decor in grey, hot pink or coral to make the dessert design even more impressive, interesting and glamorous.

What a beautiful treat should look like

Tiffany's wedding cake, as in the photo, is suitable for a stylized and classic celebration.

Form

A classic Tiffany cake should be square and look like a box - or a multi-level pile of several boxes on top of each other. Each box should be decorated with ribbon. But round confectionery products are also allowed - again, single-level or multi-level. Other options are a hexagon-shaped, heart-shaped, or horseshoe-shaped cake, but these are much less common.

Color

As we have already said, the classic color combination is turquoise and white. But as an option, the main turquoise color can be combined with other shades:

• brown;
• coral;
• pale yellow;
• bright pink.

Decorations

Let's consider everything.

1. Bow. Most often, a Tiffany-style wedding cake, as in the photo, is decorated with a white bow, imitating the bow on a gift box with Tiffany jewelry, but there are other options.
2. Flowers. It can be one large flower at the top or a garland of flowers going down diagonally from top to bottom. Flowers are most often made from white fondant, but they can also be pink, coral or chocolate.
3. Pearls or beads. White “pearls” look great on the cake. If it is a multi-level structure, they can lie at the base of each layer. In another version, the pearls are carefully pressed into the mastic over the entire surface. Finally, the third option is to have “pearl beads” lying on the surface of the cake or hanging from the sides.
4. Openwork painting. Tiffany-colored “lace” wedding cakes look stunning, and white lace painting on a turquoise surface looks especially elegant. You can choose the picture at your discretion.
5. Figurines. These can be figures of newlyweds or white doves, as well as any other figures at the discretion of the bride and groom. The surface of the treat can be decorated with an edible box with rings.
6. Letters. Tiffany-style treats are often decorated with letters - this could be the word Tiffany written somewhere on the side, or there could be letters with the initials of the newlyweds - either applied to the surface of the cake, or in 3D letters placed on the top.

Tiffany style wedding cake design ideas

At any wedding, a cake is not only a long-awaited dessert, but also an important decorative component of the celebration.

Therefore, every year, masters of confectionery art present to the public new ideas for decorating a Tiffany-colored wedding cake.

In the form of square gift boxes

A stylish Tiffany-style dessert can easily be presented as a wedding gift, because the classic design is one- or multi-tier gift boxes tied with a white glazed ribbon. Sometimes it is served at the wedding table along with small cupcakes decorated with identical details. They are laid out for each guest as a small personal gift.

Decorated with bows

The sweet white bow on the mint blue treat looks amazing. Sometimes the decoration is made of satin fabric, but more often the newlyweds prefer a dessert that is completely edible. Regardless of the shape, a Tiffany style cake with a bow on each tier looks incredibly festive. Small mastic beads create an original accent. It wouldn’t hurt to decorate a turquoise cake in the chosen style with a brown bow made of chocolate. You can choose any form for dessert with a bow:

1. Circle.
2. Square.
3. Horseshoe.
4. Heart.

With flowers in pastel shades

A mint-hued treat with pastel-hued flowers is a very fresh, light and beautiful choice for a wedding. Any floral decor can be selected: three-dimensional from mastic or cream, painted on special paper with culinary paints, or even fresh flowers are inserted. Decorations are placed at the very top or scattered in a cascade from top to bottom. This decor looks great, located around the circumference of each layer. The advantage of edible flowers is their unique taste, which, without a doubt, every guest will want to try.

With openwork painting

Lace cakes for weddings have always been in demand, so confectioners did not stand aside and released Tiffany festive desserts with openwork painting. Culinary experts are sure that white lace should be not only on the bride’s dress, but also on the main culinary masterpiece. Openwork motifs fit perfectly into the style, and are complemented by white pearls, pastel roses or pink lilies, which can spiral around all tiers of the dessert.

Brown lace on turquoise, made from chocolate glaze, looks beautiful. Chocolate is an indispensable component for Tiffany style desserts. In addition to its beautiful appearance, this product is rich in a variety of flavors: from expressive bitter to soft creamy. Chocolate also opens up a wide range of creative possibilities for culinary experts, thanks to the range of colors from dark brown to soft white.

Useful video: design option

One of the design options for a confectionery product in the Tiffany style can be seen in this video:

1. First of all, the cake itself is prepared. In our case, this is a square-shaped product.
2. Mastic is being prepared. With the help of dyes it is given the desired turquoise shade.
3. The mastic is rolled out with a rolling pin.
4. The cake is covered with a layer of turquoise mastic on top and sides, after which it is carefully pressed with a special spatula. Excess mastic is carefully trimmed with a knife.
5. Wide strips are cut out of white mastic and attached to the sides on four sides.
6. Then take the second part of the cake - the same area, but narrower. This is the lid on the future “Tiffany box”.
7. The lid is also decorated with white stripes representing white ribbons. A bow is formed.
8. A layer of pre-rolled white mastic is placed between the main part of the cake and the “lid”.
9. The cake is decorated with “pearls” - small balls of white fondant.

The result of the pastry chef's efforts is a square cake that imitates a turquoise box with Tiffany jewelry.

Taste of the product

So far we have talked about what a Tiffany style cake should look like. The appearance of a wedding cake is important, but when it comes to food, its taste also matters. If the cake is beautiful on the inside but tasteless, guests will be disappointed, so it is important to strike a balance between the shell and the content.

A Tiffany-style cake involves decorating with fondant, which includes marshmallow, egg yolk and other ingredients that do not combine well with rich creams. If you apply mastic to such cream, the appearance of the cake may be ruined. But shortbread, biscuit or honey desserts can be easily decorated with mastic.

Mother of the groom

When choosing a pastry chef to make a Tiffany-style cake, pay attention to his work experience, look at his portfolio and read reviews. This cake requires a lot of effort and care. Bella Cheremisina

What if you want a different cake for your wedding - for example, Bird's Milk, Baileys, or any other cake with mousse or soufflé? It is not necessary to give up your favorite dessert, but before applying mastic to such baked goods, the base of the cake must be strengthened. The soft filling should be completely covered with a layer of sponge cake coated with a special cream. After this, you can safely apply mastic to the cake - its appearance will not be affected.

Keep in mind that at the end of the wedding, guests are usually full. Therefore, it is more logical to choose not heavy, high-calorie cakes, but, on the contrary, tender and light ones , for example, fruit or berry, cottage cheese or yogurt.

If your wedding is taking place in winter, you can use shortbread and sponge cakes as a basis and grease them with sour cream or butter cream.

A Tiffany cake can be ordered for a regular wedding, as well as for a wedding in pastel (blue, turquoise, light green) colors. It looks so beautiful and elegant that it will surely decorate any celebration. But, of course, the most logical thing to do is order such a cake for a Tiffany-style wedding.

Themed weddings have become a trend of late, and a Tiffany-themed wedding is one of the most elaborate celebrations imaginable. This wedding theme is perfect for sophisticated people.

Tiffany color: a bright accent or background for wedding decor?

Tiffany color is rarely found in nature, especially in our cool climate, far from warm seas and birds of paradise. But this does not mean that you need to play God: take a bucket of paint and paint everything around in a bluish tint. Individual color accents placed with a skillful hand will look much more impressive.

Despite the illusion of warmth that can sometimes arise, tiffany is still a cool color. Therefore, by creating a blue background around the guests, you need to be prepared for blue faces in the photo. Or that the photographer will process the photos before your golden wedding.

Bride's image

A Tiffany style wedding means having an elegant outfit. It is not at all necessary to choose the famous black dress; it can be replaced with white, light gray or blue. A combination with contrasting frills, bows, belt and shoes will also be interesting. The best option for such a ceremony is an A-line or straight dress of a simple cut. If the wedding takes place in spring or autumn, the bride can wear a beige trench coat over her outfit - this is a French classic that is always relevant. The bride's dress can be white with a belt, bow or frills in turquoise.

If you choose a white dress, dress your bridesmaids in Tiffany blue dresses that match the theme of your wedding.

Shoes

Choose white or blue shoes. In Tiffany color, the shoes look especially bright if the color of your dress is white. Also an original option would be high-heeled shoes with soles painted blue.

Hair, makeup and accessories

When creating the image of a bride, you can start from the famous movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. Holly Golightly is the embodiment of femininity and grace. There can be several options for a wedding hairstyle: babette styling, high bun, retro-style styling. Hairpins with large rhinestones, bright ribbons, a diadem, and a tiara look great as hair decorations. A pearl necklace or a luxurious necklace will help highlight the overall style of the look. Makeup should also match the chosen style. Classic black eyeliner and soft pink lipstick will help add expressiveness to the bride's image.

Bouquet

A Tiffany-style bridal bouquet will have to be selected carefully, because, unfortunately, there are not many blue flowers in nature, so it is quite possible to choose white plants and complement them with blue accessories. You can give preference to a vintage bouquet of hairpins, brooches, buttons, and tie the handle of the bouquet with a beautiful ribbon. If you want a “living” bouquet, choose roses, orchids, chrysanthemums, and small gerberas. A composition of daisies decorated with blue butterflies will look great. Also suitable are hydrangea, freesia, violet, impomea, delphinium, blue-eye (ommelina vulgaris), meconopsis, lobelia and others.
