Wedding Cake

A wedding cake is as much a part of the wedding as confetti so choosing and making sure you have the right one is essential.



The cake is important and guests remember what it was like.

There are all types of wedding cakes, from large traditional ones to just a single layered cake, there are lots of different decisions to be made. Couples should decide how big their cake is by how many guests they have coming.

The flavour of the cake is also important. If you have chosen to have a large layered cake then each tier could be different. Flavours may include anything from vanilla, to chocolate fudge to the traditional fruit mix with soft icing on top.

Sometimes couples decide to keep one of the tiers from the wedding cake for a christening.

Icing is normally white or light cream colour. But in modern weddings couples are deciding to have the same colour for the wedding cake icing as the wedding theme. Sugar and flour, or rich cream cheese can be used as the icing recipe.

When decorating a cake you are free to use your imagination. You can choose to have a cake linked with the décor or theme of the wedding, or you might want to give it a different look with unusual decorations to suit your individual preference. Bakers design cakes with drapes, lace and embroidery appliqué. The wedding cake should reflect the characteristics of the couple.

Start planning your wedding cake months before the big day. And make sure the cake is right for the season you are getting married in, as an ice cream cake will melt in hot weather. // My Wedding Planner
