Your wedding cake is the sweet something which all of your guests will get to share with you. Whether you have decided on a modern or traditional theme your wedding cake should compliment all other aspects of your wedding day and be a reflection of your personality and style.Wedding Cake StylesYour wedding cake should taste even better than it looks and while many of the couples opt for the traditional fruitcake flavoured wedding cake, there are many mouth-watering options. Your personal taste may favour a sponge, pastry (profiteroles) or something else again (even cheesecakes have been used as a wedding cake). You may consider a modern style cupcake tower. Wedding cupcakes have become a very popular trend. You can treat your guests to delightful individual cupcakes, handcrafted especially for them.Modern Classic Wedding CakesThe modern classic wedding cake still follows the same decorative principles of traditional wedding cakes but in simpler and more elegant fashion. The modern version of the wedding cake is generally two or more tiers stacked on top of one another, in either a round or a square shape. A single flavour can be used, but it would be nice if it could cater to the different tastes of the guests. To achieve this, each layer can have a different flavour. The topping or the icing can also be done in many ways, the traditional being the white marzipan icing.TraditionsTradition demands that the bride and the groom share the first piece of the cake, after which other guests are offered a piece. Sometimes, a layer of the cake is preserved so that the couple can share it either on their first wedding anniversary or on the birth of their first child. From classically decorated white, cream or ivory cakes to a more updated, modern style using seasonal berries, fresh flowers or chocolate shards, your cake specialist can combine the freshest ingredients with traditional methods to produce your wedding cake.The basic idea or tradition of the wedding cake is to make the occasion memorable, to be cherished by the couple as well as their friends and loved ones. |
