We will gladly admit that for most people, it’s a bit of a shock when someone admits that they don’t particularly like cake. Whether its chocolate gateau or buttercream and Victoria sponge, we simply can’t resist a delectable cake. That, of course applies double for the wedding day. This is the moment when you can let your imagination and taste buds run wild and get whichever flavours and styles you want for your special day. Thankfully, we have come a long way from the days of wedding deserts being primarily confined to dry fruit cakes with thick white icing. Nowadays, wedding cakes have mastered a combination of appetizing flavours and grand, decadent decorations. Even in the world of matrimonial edibles, there are still trends that have come and gone. One, for instance, is currently the trend of the “naked cake”. This is a tiered wedding cake with plain sponge, colourful icing and a plethora of fresh fruits and leaves gathered around each base. A very pretty style, its popularity is due mainly to the ongoing personalisation of weddings and the bohemian, rustic type of décor.
From three-tiered cakes to cupcake towers, nothing is more fun to both plan and then eat than the wedding cake. With all the options now available at your fingertips, you can choose a wedding cake to suit whichever colour or style décor you have decided on for the reception. Even if you want to go that step further and distinguish your cake to suit your personality as a couple, you can. From cartoon cake toppers to Lego built cakes, the options are endless. You can decide if you want it to be an all-time classic white tiered cake, or a floral masterpiece or even a light-hearted, quirky take on your own interests and hobbies. No matter what style or trend you decide to centre your wedding cake around, you can be sure of one thing – it will be enjoyed. Take a look here at some of our personal, favourite mouth-watering wedding cakes below. #Instainspo
