Dark Wedding Cakes

Black or dark coloured cakes are not for everyone. The couples that choose a dark coloured cake are those who like to stand out. They like something a little bit different and aren’t afraid to step away from the standard white wedding cake. A dark coloured/black cake is just as beautiful as a white one and if you have a darker colour scheme for your wedding they fit in perfectly.

Darker cakes are more popular now as weddings are becoming more and more unique. Unique in the sense that traditional values are being left behind and people are embracing their true selves and expressing that in their weddings. There is no set rule that a cake must be white, and there are some truly beautiful dark cakes out their that would be right at home at any wedding.

When choosing a dark cake, think about the colours you would like to use with the main cake colour. If you are having dark bridesmaids dresses then maybe match the cake colour to them. And if you are having pale pink flowers, match the cake flowers to those. Dark cakes and light flowers are stunning and compliment each other perfectly.

If you want a dark cake but are worried others may not like it, opt for a dark tier, usually the bottom tier, and the rest can be white or light coloured. You get the best of both that way!

White or Ivory Cakes

The classic and traditional White or Ivory Cake might seem boring to some but we’re not sure if white cakes have ever gone out of fashion for weddings! White ooses timeless elegance and doesn’t limit your options! Add intricate details, such as being paired with soft sugar flowers and lace stencils can help tie different elements of your wedding together or even add a splash of colour! Gold or bronze go perfectly with a white cake!! The White cake featured below has a flower shaped tier which also adds a romantic feel and is a big cake trend this year!

Drip Cakes

Sarah from Cheshire Wedding Cakes baked this cake and here is what she had to say!

‘‘The couple wanted a really fun bright wedding theme! The bride to be gave me lots of bright coloured napkins to give me an idea of what she wanted and to use as a colour match. We decided the drip-style would be perfect to add more colour and add to the fun element. I was blown away with the decoration on the day! It was perfect for a tipi, summer wedding!‘‘

Woodland Cakes

Woodland Cakes are becoming much more popular as some couples are thinking outside the box and don’t particularly want a traditional white wedding cake. They want to match the cake to their rustic or woodland theme and venue! This cake is perfect for weddings with lots of wooden tables, centrepieces and the bohemian bride and groom! If you’re having a summer wedding maybe opt for a lighter wood such as a silver birch effect. Having your initials carved into the wood (cake) is always a nice touch and personalises the cake.

We love how it doesn’t even look like a cake, it’s a fantastic illusion!

Tree Bark Cake with real flowers by That Little Cake Place: www.that-little-cake-place.co.uk

We love this Woodland Wedding Cake too! This cake was designed around the idea of a woodland type wedding setting for a relaxed couple - a little Maid Marion and Robin Hood... These days a cake that is representative of the couple, or their lifestyle is increasingly popular as couples want to have fun and are less traditional.

The cake is an important element not only because it will be eaten by the guests but it is often a surprise for the couple who don’t see the completed version until their wedding - which may be their only surprise

Glitter Wedding Cakes!

The cake trend for all things metallic and sparkly looks set to continue into 2021 and beyond, with so many options available to couples, including edible glitter, gold and silver leaf, lustres and paint finishes.

Metallic highlights can be particularly striking for winter weddings, used alongside bold colours, such as midnight blue or even black, and can turn your cake into a real 'wow' centerpiece for your wedding day.

Dessert Tables

Dessert tables suit a variety of couples and their wedding themes. Couples who are looking to have a range of sweet treats choose a dessert table as not only do they look beautiful, they taste incredible too.

Having a dessert table at your wedding offers guests a choice of desserts which they may not have tried before. And they are becoming increasingly popular because of this. Doughnuts, Cakesicles, and macarons are among the choices and each one is a good as the next.

When choosing your dessert table items, keep in mind the age range of the guests. Younger guests would likely choose the cakesicles or doughnuts, whereas older guests might choose macarons and cupcakes.

If you have children attending the wedding, having a range of desserts which are solely for them Is a lovely gesture, and it keeps little hands away from the cake
