Traditional
wedding cakes were
long-lasting, hearty fruitcakes with
firm white icing that symbolized the
solidity of marriage. However, as
fruitcakes are considered 'passe'
now, couples are free to theme in
a manner that reflects their personalities
or something meaningful to them. Did
your fiance propose in winter? Cake
specialist The Cake Whole has Snowflake
designs that emulate the look of falling
snow to commemorate that moment. Are
you having an ethnic wedding? The
Cake Whole has specially created wedding
cakes especially for Chinese brides
and grooms that is iced in red (the
Chinese lucky colour) and adorned
with the Chinese double happiness
symbol to bring good fortune.
Wedding Cakes - Decorations
Ditch the plastic bride and groom
because the choices in wedding cake
decorations are endless now. Ribbons,
tulle and sugar flowers remain much
requested decorative items but featuring
the same fresh flowers on your wedding
cake as those in your wedding bouquet
has become extremely popular too.
You can even match the wedding dress
as new icing techniques mean bakers
can decorate in the emulation of
embroidery, lace, applique or elegant
drapes and insert pearl or beading
detail also. Oakleigh Quality Cakes
offer an amazing range of wedding
cake decorations to adorn their
mouthwatering wedding cakes and
their handmade decorative flowers
come in chocolate as well as sugar.
