Wedding cakes something a bit different

A cake is a traditional part of a wedding as wedding trend as moving away form the traditional so are wedding cakes. Brides and Grooms are no longer simply choosing a pretty 3 tier cake they are on the look out for something a little different to be the focal point of their big day.

A very popular options is the cup cakes. As a wedding planner I love this idea! The bride and groom can have a wide variety of colours and flavours and create a great design which suits every ones taste. It also mean that each guests gets a bit of cake and there is no mess or waste. I have over seen weddings where the cupcakes have doubled as favours or even place cards so they can make great budget sense. Brides and Groom tend to love the idea shown to the left of having a larger cake at the top so they can still have the cutting of the cake. A WORD OF WARNING!! If you try to cut the top cake when it is on the stand, the stand is VERY likely to collapse!! Pose for the photos and then take the top off before you cut it.

For those looking for the 3 tier cake, but don't like cake a popular choice is the have cheese cake instead. There are quite a variety available. Visit the English Cheese Cake Company for a great selection. They look good and taste great!


A choice that is growing in popularity is to have a cheese cake made out of actual cheese!! These are a stunning centerpiece for any elegant occasion. These are perfect when you are expecting an older guests list, the kids tend to be a little upset when they discover there is no cake! The only and draw back is that they tend to be quite smelly!
