Apart from the bride and groom, nothing says wedding like the wedding cake, in past times, the bride and the groom won’t regard so many things when it comes to their cake; however the reverse is now the case as couples now stress so much on their wedding cake designs. Most people often wonder why couples want to make their cake unique. This is because cakes are often considered the focus of the wedding reception. Whether you are going traditional, classical, contemporary, French or modern, there are amazing ways to give your wedding cake an appealing design. Here are some designs that are worth trying.
TRADITIONAL DESIGNS:
This kind of design has to do with something very simple, the style and shape is not complex. For couples who want traditional cakes, you can either opt for traditional cakes with pillars or columns or traditional stacked wedding cakes. For traditional wedding cake with pillars, you can fill the spaces created by the pillars with flowers, you can also have the different layers of cake in various shapes, and the number of layers relies on the number of guests you are expecting. The traditional stacked cake is one where the cakes are placed directly on top of each layers, you can have them in different shapes.
CASCADE STAND WEDDING CAKE:
For cascading wedding cake designs, other than placing all the sized tiers of cakes directly on each other, they are placed on stands that are much like a staircase. Flowers can be used to decorate the staircase giving you a cascading flow of flower designs down on one side of the cake.
CONTEMPORARY/MODERN WEDDING CAKE:
With this type of design nearly anything can go, the designs could be fun, whimsical & elegant and can come in almost any shape imaginable. This type of design will allow the couple express what they really want in terms of flavor, shape, style and color. Apart from the various ways that a modern cake can be designed, there are also various toppers that can be used to finish it.
CUPCAKE PYRAMID WEDDING CAKE:
This type of cake is more popular than the others, it is usually shaped like the traditional cake, but in its case instead of having layers of cakes, there are layers of individual cup cakes. They are easy to bake and can be prepared by the bride if the couple is on a budget. Since the cupcake is pre proportioned for each guest, it is easy to serve.
THEME WEDDING CAKE:
This cake reflect the couples interest, it can be anything that the bride or groom is synonymous with. It could be their most favorite sport, or their work, or their favorite pet. It could also reflect the venue of the reception, maybe the beach, or a garden like venue. The best way to achieve this effect is through the use of toppers, the toppers would be designed to depict whatever would reflect the couple’s interest.
FAIRY WEDDING CAKE:
This should not be seen as childish, as there are elegant cakes with intricate multi turreted tower castle. Sometimes the cake will come in a traditional style and the topper is shaped like a castle. For brides who want to feel like a princess, a fairy wedding cake would do just as well.
