When it comes to planning weddings, one of the fun parts is choosing wedding cakes, after all it’s a great opportunity to sample slice after slice of delicious cake before reaching a decision on who you are going to trust to bake it for you. Before you get carried away with the tasting, however, take some time to imagine what you would like the wedding cake of your dreams to actually look like.

Traditionally wedding cakes were iced in white and set up in a series of tiers, but nowadays there are lots of different ways of displaying your cake. In general your cake should match the feel of the day. If your wedding is to be a formal affair, with a long white dress and top hat and tails, then the occasion calls for a formal style of wedding cake. It can be very elaborate or stunningly simple, as long as it conveys a formal air about it. It doesn’t have to be round; square or hexagonal shapes work equally as well, and it could be stacked for a more modern look or set on pillars for an airy grace. For a less formal wedding, you can really break away from tradition and embrace the unconventional. Your cake could be iced with meringue and scattered with flower petals, you could have just one large cake if the wedding is small, or you could choose cupcakes or even pastries to be displayed on pretty cake stands.

Quite often the venue itself may lend itself to some design ideas. If you’re getting married on the beach, your cake could incorporate some seashells as decoration, or if your reception is to be held in a large garden, then introduce some elements from the garden such as sugar paste flowers. You can also take your ideas from the wedding outfits by picking out one or two colours from the bride’s bouquet or the bridesmaids’ frocks. Fresh flowers to my mind always look lovely on top of wedding cakes, and if they give off a delicate perfume, so much the better.

As to the flavour of the cake, traditionally it is fruit or yellow or chocolate sponge. But it needn’t be the case. Why not have lemon, carrot or hazelnut, for example. The cake could also be matched to the type of meal that is being served. If you’re having a Moroccan feast then why not have an orange flavoured cake or a ginger cake with an Asian buffet. You could also introduce different flavours by means of the filling. Besides the conventional butter cream or frosted filling, you could opt for fruit purees, whipped cream, lemon curd or chocolate or fudge fillings. The only limit is your imagination.

The pictures with the wedding cakes for celebrities almost overwhelms you and everyone who attempts to find out what cake had Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas for instance at their wedding.

Well, of course, when it comes to celebrities and every important even that relates to them everything has to be done at impressive dimensions, although nobody knows if those dimensions are for real or only a part of them being in fact good to be eaten?!

Plenty of options are available in the world of celebrity wedding cakes. For example, if you want something elegant and multi-tiered created and decorated in sophisticated design and motifs, you could go for the intricacy of one of the wedding cakes to belong to one of the Donald Trump’s weddings.
