CAKE DECORATION

• Sugarpaste art can turn your Wedding cake in to a fairytale castle - not for the faint-hearted but your only limitation is your imagination. Make sure you see pictures of some intricate cakes made by your chosen cake maker to ensure they are up to the task before heading down this route.

• Marzipan art is usually used to create figurines, either people or cartoons, as an expert can spray and paint it to create amazing results. We have seen some wonderful caricature marzipan art figures and if your cake maker has an eye for flair, you may want to even head down this route yourselves!

• Belgian truffles/chocolates or similar. Great around the edges of a layered cake or even better, sit them on top of individual tiers and combine them with chocolate curls round the edge.

• Sweets have become a big thing in recent years. Love Hearts, sugared almonds or even flying saucers add a whimsical and romantic feel to the cake due to their pastel shades. These could be particularly appropriate if you are marrying your childhood sweetheart!

• Ribbon can be used to create a traditional but classical look.  A simple band of quality ribbon, matching one of main colours from the Wedding, pinned around each tier of the cake will always look elegant.

Combining great taste with a great design is the secret to a great Wedding Cake. So choose wisely and you will be licking your lips in anticipation well before the Big Day!
