WEDDING
CAKE
FLAVOURS:
Since
many people have their own flavour preferences and no
two tastes are alike, the following examples will give
you the mix and match possibilities between the cake
flavours and filling flavours.
Since it
is not possible to please every one of your guests,
either side of the family, friends or relatives, the
easiest solution is for you to choose your
favourite flavour.
After all, you
are the bride and groom and this is your special
day!
To
assist in your decision making I have listed below some
of the most popular flavours for the cake and the
fillings.
Everything
goes, if you like it and if it’s achievable we will make
it, even if it is not included in the chart. Certain
ingredients do not like summer heat, so as long as it is
possible to make in regards to the environment where
your wedding is being held, we can make it.
Design
&
Decoration
- Decide
how important the cake is to your celebration. There
is a wide range to choose from, all the way from a
beautifully decorated showstopper to a simple
design…and everything in between. Your cultural
traditions, style of wedding and budget will all
play a roll in your final decision.
- Cakes
featured in magazines can certainly give you ideas
about what you like. Bring these pictures with you
or send them through e-mail to us. Be cautious, many
of the fancy looking designer cakes in magazines use
Styrofoam as a base rather than an actual edible
cake. Real cakes may not look quite as symmetrically
perfect.
- You can
opt for cakes using real flowers as decoration (most
economical) or flowers and decorations made by hand
with sugar paste that are edible.
From
simple to elaborate, from pastel colours to strong
colours, from a classic style of wedding cake to a
modern style, from real flowers to hand made flowers or
sea shells, all of them have one thing in common, they
are wedding cakes chosen by the bride and groom for
their most important time in their lives, their wedding
day.
