Kosher Wedding Cake?

Question

Do I need to make it in a kosher kitchen, do I need to use only kosher ingredients?

Answer 1

YES!!!!! Im jewish and yes it HAS TO be made in a kosher kitchen. By that I mean you cant use utensils that have come in contact with meat on dairy products and vice versa. Also you must have separate sinks for dairy products and meat products!!!! You cant put a spoon that has been used for dairy in a sink that has been used to wash meat and the like. This applies to orthodox jews and some conservative ones...other than that you dont really have to worry about it. congrats on the wedding!!!!

hope this helps

Kosher is a very strict dietary way of life. To give you a sense of what food is to be considered kosher, here are a few rules.

1. Certain animals may not be eaten, such as pigs or shellfish. This restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs and milk of the forbidden animals.

2. Of the animals that may be eaten, the birds and mammals must be killed in accordance with Jewish law.

3. All blood must be drained from the meat or broiled out of it before it is eaten.

4. Certain parts of permitted animals may not be eaten.

5. Meat cannot be eaten with dairy. Fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains can be eaten with either meat or dairy. Utensils that have come in contact with meat may not be used with dairy, and vice versa. Utensils that have come into contact with nonkosher food may not be used with kosher food. So in all kosher kitchens, there are two sets of pots and pans. One for meat, and the other for dairy.

6. All food and work surfaces must be inspected and blessed by a rabbi in order to be certified kosher.

Eating kosher is different than eating kosher "style."

The cake that I made was kosher style. This meant that all the ingredients I used to make the cake were kosher, however a rabbi did not bless the tools I used to make it.

I had to substitute many ingredients in order to keep this cake in check, which called for many recipe taste-testing sessions. The end result was a chocolate cake with hazelnut filling all made with no milk or butter added.



I was very happy with how great it tasted. I learned how important it is to be aware of certain eating restrictions. To be a chef, you always need to be flexible to work with people to prepare food that fit their needs.

Usually a kosher wedding cake would just mean kosher ingredients. To be safe you can contact a rabbi or ask a Jewish friend.
