Let Them Eat Cake!

May 31st, 2008

The wedding cake is no longer a tasty afterthought to the rest of the reception. The cake is another chance to tie the wedding theme together. Couples today want their cakes to be unique, personalized, and of course, delicious!

Trends in cakes include: black and white, patterns like Swiss dots or scrollwork, and monograms. Couples are even custom ordering cakes with their wedding vows written in calligraphy.

Another important source of inspiration for a special cake is the bride’s gown and accessories. Cake designers will recreate the look of lace or embroidery in frosting. Some brides use their bridal jewelry as a design source. For instance, a bride bedecked in Swarovski crystals can have her cake dusted with metallic shimmer for a totally glamorous effect.

The idea is that the cake should express the personal style of the newlyweds. Couples expect their cake to astonish their wedding guests both with its’ amazing look and divine taste.
