Made of Love Choose a ring you’ll cherish forever
Cake or no cake? There is no set rule stating that a wedding cake must be a particular flavour, colour, or involve several tiers. Choosing a wedding cake is where couples can get creative. It’s where they can incorporate their favourite foods, flavours, colours, styles and decorations. Here are some fun ideas to consider when choosing a wedding cake. Cheese: Swap out the sweetness for cheese wheels. Layer your favourite cheeses and decorate with flowers, fresh herbs and greenery. Childhood classic: Were you a fan of rice bubble cake as a child? Why not make a cake from the rice crispy treats and incorporate some fruity popcorn for colour. Donut heaven: Who doesn’t love a donut? Create a donut stack with the bride and groom’s favourite flavours. Use white icing for a touch of tradition, or bright colours, sprinkles and different flavours for a unique touch. Mini desserts: Instead of one big cake you
can have a selection of small deserts. These can be displayed on tiers with fancy ribbons, flowers and other wedding decorations. Cupcake towers: An easy solution to the wedding cake. Different flavours can be used and displayed on a pretty cake stand. Guests might enjoy the ease of taking a cupcake rather than a slice of cake on a plate. Consider a croquembouche: This certainly makes a statement! A tower of delicious choux puff pastry filled with whatever filling the couple desires; traditionally it would be a crème patissiere. Add fruit, toffee and edible flowers for some colour. Individual cakes: It may be a little more time consuming but perhaps ideal for a smaller wedding. These dainty desserts can look as rustic or traditional as you like and are served individually plated. There is no limit to what you can do. With some imagination and creative flair your wedding cake will be a delicious reminder of your wedding.
