No marriage ceremony is complete without the couple slicing the wedding cake. It is one of the happiest moments to be captured in a picture and remains a cherished memory for life. Wedding cakes are the most imaginative, expressive, and fun way to commemorate this happy occasion. Unlike the wedding cakes of the yesteryears which were meant solely for decoration, the cakes of today are meant to live up to many expectations. The cake has to be beautifully decorated, should go with the wedding theme, and make for a fabulous dessert that is moist, delicious, and as dreamy as heaven. When it comes to making and delivering such awesome creations, cake designers have risen up to the challenge.
While ostentatious toppings were favored in the past, today’s trends demand that wedding cakes designs look back towards the classics. Minimalist and clean, the white cake with the intricate chocolate design made of icing makes this cake a wonderfully festive and yet elegant wedding honor. Subdued hues like icy blues and multiple tiers (up to five) lend a distinct air of old world charm and class to any wedding. It is the traditional cake made with contemporary flavors and classic, clean designs that defines the trends of 2010.
Another major trend is to have wedding cakes in multiple tiers and each tier is made up of a separate shape. A square cake at the bottom tier, a circle in the middle, and a raspberry red heart on the top makes for a very sophisticated design. To make it even more dazzling, consider a five-tiered cake instead of the usual three. Decadence is in and nothing exemplifies it more than a three-tiered fully chocolate wedding cake. The rich aroma by itself is captivating and the breakaway from traditions is refreshing. Whatever trend you choose to follow or start, the idea is that your wedding day is the one day when you can have your cake and eat it too (absolutely no pun intended).
