Short answer: NO. It is not compulsory.
Fruit cake became popular for weddings years ago because it lasts long, handles heat well, and stays stable for tall cakes. That made sense back then.

But times have changed.
Today, many weddings use:
• Vanilla sponge
• Chocolate cake
• Red velvet
• Carrot cake
• Marble cake
• Even a mix of dummy tiers + one real cutting cake
So why do some bakers still insist on fruit cake?
Because fruit cake is:
✔️ Very stable
✔️ Less likely to spoil in heat
✔️ Good for long outdoor events
But here’s the professional truth 👇🏽
A wedding cake should be what the couple enjoys eating, not just what tradition says.
If the venue is air-conditioned, the event is short, and the couple prefers soft cakes, then fruit cake is not a must.

As bakers, our job is to:
• Educate our clients.
• Guide them based on their event.
• Respect their taste and preference.

📌 Tradition is optional. Good cake is not.
What cake flavour do your clients ask for the most at weddings?

As a beginner, if you ever baked a cake and it came out looking like the one in the image attached, there are a few possible reasons:

1 - The cake was baked too long at a temperature lower than ideal.

2 - There was too much liquid in the batter, making it heavy and dense.

3 - Too little baking powder or baking soda was used, so the cake couldn’t rise properly.

4 - The baking powder or baking soda was old or expired, which made it lose its strength.

5 - The batter was overmixed, which caused too much gluten to form, leading to a rubbery texture.

In most cases, it’s one or a mix of these reasons that cause cakes to come out dense and clumped.

As usual, I hope this helps. ❤️

Butter Cookies

Ingredients
• 2 cups (500g) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (250g) unsalted butter, softened (not melted)
• ¾ cup (90g) icing sugar or fine granulated sugar
• 1 large egg yolk (or 2 tbsp milk if egg-free)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional: ½ tsp butter flavor)
• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Cream butter and sugar in a bowl until light, pale, and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla, and mix until smooth.

Sift in flour and salt, then mix gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.

For different shapes:
• Round: Roll into a log, chill 30 minutes, then slice into rounds.
• Heart/Star: Roll out the dough to ½ inch thick and cut with cookie cutters.
• Piped (Rosette/Flower): Use a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe onto a tray.

Arrange cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray. Chill for 10–15 minutes before baking (helps hold the shape).

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Cool completely on a rack. Once cooled, they’ll be crisp, buttery, and perfect for packaging.

1. Don't overmix the cake batter, as it can lead to a tough and dense cake.

2. Don't open the oven door frequently (especially within the first 20 mins) while the cake is baking, it can cause the cake to collapse.

3. Don't substitute ingredients unless you're experienced.

4. Don't forget to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl to ensure even mixing.

5. Don't overfill the cake pans (aim for ⅔), as the batter may overflow and cause a mess in the oven.

6. Don't rush the cooling process. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

7. Don't skip the step of greasing and flouring the cake pans or lining them with parchment paper, as this can lead to the cake sticking to the pan.

8. Don't frost a warm cake. Wait until the cake has completely cooled to prevent the frosting from melting.

9. Don't prepare your batter with cold eggs and butter.

10. Don't overbake the cake. Keep a close eye on it during the final minutes of baking, as overbaking can result in a dry and crumbly cake.

1. Always cream your butter and sugar well
Light and fluffy mixture = soft, airy cakes.

2. Don’t pack your flour into the cup

Scoop lightly — packed flour = dry cake.

3. Let your batter rest 1–2 minutes before pouring

It reduces air bubbles and gives a smooth top.

4. Use parchment paper to avoid sticking

Greasing alone sometimes fails.

5. Don’t bake at too high a temperature

High heat causes burnt edges and raw center.

6. Add milk gradually

This prevents curdling and gives smoother batter.

7. Always taste your frosting before using

Adjust sugar, flavor, or consistency first.

8. Use unsalted butter when following recipes

It gives you full control of salt levels.

9. Get an oven thermometer

Most ovens lie — your cake needs the right temperature.

10. Fill your cake pan only halfway or ⅔

Overfilling leads to spillage and cracked tops.

11. Always tap your cake pan lightly before baking

It removes trapped air and prevents holes.

12. Use the middle rack for even baking

Top or bottom racks can cause uneven cakes.

13. Don’t leave your batter sitting for long

Bake immediately; baking powder loses power.

14. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda

Expired ones = flat, dense cakes.

15. Add your flavors last

Vanilla, chocolate, or lemon tastes stronger when added last.

16. Don’t frost a warm cake

The icing will melt and ruin the finish.

17. Cool your cakes on a wire rack

It prevents soggy bottoms.

18. Store your cakes properly

Use airtight containers to keep them moist.

19. Mix wet and dry ingredients separately first

This gives smoother, consistent batter.

20. Practice patience — baking rewards the calm baker

Rushing = mistakes. Slow = success.
