Wedding cake!

So what's your wedding cake like guys? Are you going with the traditional tiered? Maybe cupcakes? Or a new trend such as a cheese tower?

We are having a tradition tiered one. Although ive seen a lot of cupcake ones and they look amazing! Only thing i will say about the cheese one is, if you want a soft cheese like brie have it on the top not the bottom else it will collapse and it depends on the heat on the day, if its a hot day the cheese will sweat. Best of luck x

My mother died from cancer in 1997. So my theme was peach and pale blue, a mix of my mum's favourite colour and mine (mum loved peach). The ribbons matched my dress belt/sash and we used the decorations from my parents' cake from 1968. The cake toppers were based on robots that I'd made for our first valentines together. If you're wondering about the punk patch on my dress, I was ironing my dress the night before and the iron slipped off the cotton sheet I was using to protect the lace! After lots of tears, my hubby said: "Just cover it up with one of my punk patches" and it worked really well and made it a truly unique dress! 🧡

3 tiers, designed by me and my fiance. I make celebration cakes as a hobby, so we are spending more than the average couple to get something with a wow factor and unique. In fact, more people know what my dress looks like than what the cake will look like!!

I didn’t want to spend a fortune so I found a great cake artist who will make us 90 cake pops out of white chocolate and raspberry and they will be made to look like real roses. They will all be put in vases for each table and for the top table we are having a small cutting cake made from red velvet (h2bs fav) it should look like the cake is rising out of the flowers as it’s going to be done on mirrors and crystal. Cos a lot less than a cake which won’t be eaten!

I'm gluten free so opted for a 3 tiered cheesecake - New York on the bottom, middle layer baileys and top layer chocolate swirl. Decorated with baby's breath

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 27 Mar 2019

Didn't have one - I found it an unnecessary tradition so we used the money instead to do a competition and gave away a £180 weekend away in Europe to a guest that gave the most inventive RSVP - we had several video replies, people even bungie jumped - it was epic and far better than the cost of a cake as it involved and engaged the guests and made them a real part of our day! We played the top 5 best RSVPs in the evening reception on an overhead in the space it takes to cut a cake. Game changer!

Our wedding cake was on my husbands list of jobs to be done. He picked a 4 tier World of Warcraft wedding cake, different flavour every tier, with 25 gold Whipped buttercream cupcakes and 25 navy Whipped buttercream cupcakes.

Absolutely delicious and looked amazing, included the wedding and his passion for gaming.

We then cut our wedding cake with Elven Blades. (the same blades used by Orlando Bloom in Lord Of The Rings)
