TOP TIPS ON COORDINATING YOUR WEDDING CAKE WITH YOUR THEME
A focal point of your Reception, your cake is a unifying centrepiece that should reflect the different aspects of your day. We asked our expert cake makers what you should consider when designing your wedding cake. The first thing they unanimously agreed on was that you should have a design consultation with your chosen cake maker. This is the perfect time to discuss your likes and dislikes with cake inspiration, allowing your designer to get to know you in more detail. Your cake maker will draw inspiration from every detail, from the hues of your fabrics and the petals of your blooms. This way, personal touches can be incorporated to make your wedding cake extra special. Think personalised pet cake toppers, your birth flower as decoration etc.
Tips on keeping your cake cool in hot weather
With summer weddings, especially destination weddings, it’s important to keep your wedding cake cool to avoid any meltdowns (literally). Usually, your cake maker will be transporting the cake and they’re experts in this. However, if you find that you’ll have to transport it yourself, then we recommend placing your cake in a cooler box (if it will fit) and surround it with ice packs. During the day, keep your wedding cake in a shaded place. Avoid any direct sunlight and try to showcase it in a place where there’s a cool breeze. If your wedding is outdoors, keeping a canopy over the cake is key. If your wedding is going to hit extreme heat temperatures (over 40°C), then keeping your cake in a fridge for as long as possible at your venue would be the best thing to do. If you’re planning a marquee wedding, investing in a mini fridge for your cake wouldn’t be the worst idea.
