Wedding cakes are one of the highlights of the wedding reception, often placed where it is the center of attention and luring guests over to admire. Designing a wedding cake to wow your guests should be a fun task, and here are some suggestions on how to do so:
- Carry your theme right onto the cake – Are your centerpieces tall twigs and wild flowers? How about chocolate twigs clustered with matching flowers and little birds as the cake topper? Or sugar leaves and birch bark icing details?
- Embrace your love for skiing- How about a cake carved to resemble a mountain-top, iced in glittery white butter cream and colored chocolate trees?
- Black and white and red is the color scheme- A gorgeous black damask pattern on crisp white or alternating layers of black and white icing with fun dots will make quite a statement!
- Make a bold statement with your cake using striking colors and patterns, such as rich shades of red and gold.
- Have a personalized cake topper created for your cake to incorporate aspects of your life that you want to share with your guests
A good cake artist knows that, next to the bride, the cake is the main visual attraction of the reception. Take your collected pictures, color swatches and ideas to your meeting with the bakery to help them design a cake that’s perfect for you.
