Winter Classic
Q | We're having a winter wedding and would love to incorporate the season into our cake. Do you have any ideas? |
A | Suzanne Glew says: The classic designs for winter weddings tend to be white or neutral tones with stunning simple designs, elaborate floral accents or a woodland theme. However, I love to make designs that are different. This wonderful couple wanted to incorporate their dogs into their big day unexpectedly, and what better way than the actual cake? After chatting about what they wanted, I suggested their dogs each hold the end of a ribbon, with the rings hanging between them. We added a sage green dickie bow and a white rose to match their wedding colours. Dare to be brave and bring more of yourselves into the cake for that extra wow factor. I've also added personal touches, such as a couple alongside their motorcycle and newlyweds with their parrot! In terms of flavours, most don't tend to have fruit cake anymore and opt for flavours like salted caramel or white chocolate and raspberry. Opting for certain flavours is another way to tailor the cake to how you'd like it; it's your big day after all! |
