You have found your dream dress and location for your wedding, but what type of cake should you choose? Any cake with luscious buttercream icing is the perfect fit and finishing touch for your big day. There are many styles and designs to choose from, and it can be overwhelming to know what style and design to pick.
Whether you are a hopeless romantic or, like to keep things simple and clean, we have a lot of great options in this post for you!
If you are a romantic at heart then buttercream icing is perfect for you when accompanied by floral detailing. Choose light lofty colour tones for your icing such as cream and soft pink. These colours will add warmth and brightness to your dessert table, and the over all feel of your wedding.
Butter cream icing is a great tool in the fact that you can choose different textures and designs to be cut and piled with the icing. From ribbons to light moulding your cake designer will work with you to make your dream cake.
Add flowers to your cake if you love whimsical romance. On your cake, the flowers can be either real or sugar flowers. We love using real flowers to bring that extra freshness to your cake.
If you’re plan are for a woodlands, or European vintage style wedding make a unique statement and choose a naked cake. A naked cake is simply that; a naked cake. This style of cake does not have a outer layer of icing covering it, and you get to see the warm honey color of the cake underneath (or the dark chocolate goodness if you went with a chocolate cake instead!). Icing is used to delicately layer the many decadent layers of cake.
To top a naked cake, use greenery, flowers, figs, peaches or berries or a custom cake topper (really the options are endless).
With all the wedding planning make sure that you think about your cake and your theme in the same thought. Your cake (and dessert table for that matter!) can act as the cherry on top and tie together your full wedding theme and feel. Cakes are also a great place to have a little more fun with your theme and bring out some of the fun and flirty parts of your theme.
Happy Planning!
