One of the highlights of any wedding has always been the wedding cake. Beautifully decorated, deliciously sweet and proudly on display until the moment when the bride and groom cut it and taste it for themselves.
Today’s wedding cakes have changed dramatically from what you might remember. Now, personalized wedding cakes are the newest trend. A bride may specifically request that the cake’s design match her gown’s detail. Monogramming the cake with the couple’s initials has become popular as well as creating a personalized cake topper.
Unusual shapes have become the latest thing. No longer is the three-tiered cake the standard. Now you see cakes made of unique shapes such as a crooked stacked cake or one made of both square and round layers.
A lot of cakes reflect the color of the bridesmaids’ gowns instead of the traditional white fondant. Hues of light blue, pale blush, butterscotch, or café au lait are springing up, adding to the confectionary masterpiece. Does your wedding theme have a color scheme? Let your cake play a part in it too.
In fact, why have a wedding cake at all, when you can have a cupcake wedding cake. Typically less expensive, the cupcake wedding cake has one layer of cake so the bride and groom can do the traditional cake cutting. But the rest of the cake is cupcakes which can be of different flavors and colors. They also freeze nicely for that first year anniversary!
Wedding cake design is rapidly approaching the level of bridal attire design, so expect a lot of choices, and create the cake of your dreams.
