A wedding cake has to work hard. Not only does it have to look gorgeous and fit perfectly with your overall wedding style but it also has to taste fabulous too! Incorporating features, themes or colors from your day into your cake design is a stylish way to coordinate your wedding style.

Personalize your cake

Express your own style by using personal touches on your wedding cake. Take inspiration from your life, your hobbies or even your dress to add beautiful details to your wedding cake. Crown your wedding cake with a topper formed into your initials. Imagine a simple white classic tiered wedding cake transformed by a fabulous sparkling monogram of your entwined initials. One fun way to personalize your cake is to include a specially designed wedding cake topper – these unique works of art can be sculpted and designed to reflect your profession, hobbies or interests complete with your own features right down to your clothes, hairstyle and eye color. Consider having your topper made from ceramics so that you can keep your figurines as an extra special memory of your day.

If you have a favorite poem or quote that means something special to you both why not use this as a creative starting point for your cake – ask your designer to pipe the verses around the edges of your cake for a lovely romantic touch.

A treasured photograph can be turned it into a stylish and personal addition to your wedding cake – one company offers you the opportunity to have your photos to be turned into edible decorations for your cake. A series of black and white photographs set on a classic tiered white cake would fit well at a wedding with a monochromatic theme.

Stylish Ideas

Take inspiration from your wedding dress by asking your cake designer to include details from your dress. If you have flowers or lace details on your dress ask them to add pretty sugar icing flowers or lace effect icing. Using a ribbon on your cake is another excellent way to add in your wedding colors. Color is becoming ever more popular with brides who really want their cake to stand out at their reception. Your wedding flowers can also be added to your cake to tie in with the color and floral scheme of your wedding. The flowers can be made by your cake designer or fresh or silk flowers supplied by your florist – for food safety reasons check with your cake maker about using fresh flowers on your cake. Beautiful fresh roses blocking in between the tiers of the cake can transform a simple white cake into a stunning centerpiece.

Don’t forget your Wedding Cake Designer

Your designer will be full of brilliant ideas and suggestions to help you find the perfect cake but you need to give them an idea of your personal style.
