Red And Black Wedding Cakes
Whimsical yet extremely romantic, black & red themes are very popular for weddings. In fact, all themes based on white, black and red color mixes have become more common during the last few years for nuptials. The mix between red and black is very dramatic and elegant. It is for certain one of the most passionate color combos a couple can select for their wedding. This tonality can help the bride and her groom express their personality and taste in fashion.
We can talk about a club feel that these two hues give, which makes them perfect for a modern dramatic wedding. The red and black theme is striking and contrasting and it can provide a wedding reception with both elegance and vibrancy. It is classy and chic, profound and mystical. These two colors remind us of the Gothic style. You can follow this route if you are willing to plan a bold whimsical wedding. The Goth culture is one of the most controversial and one of the most inciting for a wedding. It can help the couple show off their darker side. Those who love the punk and rock currents will surely enjoy this style too. The Goth aesthetics are ideal for a whimsy wedding cake.

There are many motifs you can get inspired from for your cake & décor, such as: death-centric imagery, macabre symbols, lurid tones and neo-Victorian motifs. Try to follow one of these routes, or try to come up with your own Red and black wedding cake idea. Use dark chocolate ganache to cover the tiers of the cake. This will make up for the black nuance you need for the theme. Color the interior of the cake in black or red, depending on your own preference. We think that a red buttercream cake with a black chocolate filling can make even a more appealing selection. Your guests will adore this shocking surprise and compliment your choice.
Top the cake with black colored roses and violets for a more intricate and magical feel. Use Alice in Wonderland theme to make your cake feel even more romantic. Follow the Mad Hatter style for a more modern specific effect. Choose a cylindrical shape for your cake and adorn it with playing card motifs. Your confection can resemble the Mad Hatter’s chapeau. This would make a sensational idea. Add a few blue-colored cupcakes to make this theme feel even more whimsical. Those who want the romantic style to prevail can choose a Victorian cake. For a formal wedding, choose trifles in black and red. The cake can be based on old-fashion Victorian cake recipes. Flavors like brandy, fruits and jam, whipped cream, and nuts are original selections. For more drama, place the trifles in glass dishes.

Individual Wedding Cakes
We can all agree that a wedding is not complete without a cake. The bride’s dress is for certain the first and most important item of the ceremony, while the cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It’s customary for the traditional couple to choose a towering cake for the party. The size of the cake is always the first element that guests look upon. If the cake is big and features multiple tiers, the invitees will surely have many positive remarks to make. The design of the cake is more important nowadays, however.
Our cake designers are now choosing quality over quantity. This is why they’re now promoting smaller cakes based on intricate designs. But it’s not mandatory to be an elaborated style either. It can be a small simple cake with a soft minimalist design. No matter what you choose, make sure that it fits your taste and wedding style. Current trends show us that individual cakes are the most beautiful and elegant. Your cake can feature a single tier and be decorated with a single bloom. The effect is always outstanding. It’s not a must to bring a cake that’s grand in appearance to wow your guests.

It’s wiser to choose a simpler design instead. Not all couples are into cakes or desserts. This is why they might prefer a simpler confection that can fulfill this role. Don’t feel obligated to order a seven-tier fondant cake just because tradition says so. Serve something else instead, such as a cheesecake or fruit pies. Cupcakes are also cuter alternatives to big tiered cakes. You can arrange the cupcakes on a stand to make them look like a staked tired confection. Use a small cake tier on top to make the stand look even more impressive. Individual wedding cakes are ideal for couples of all budgets and wedding styles. Besides cupcakes, you can also consider petit fours, mini pavlovas, mini angel food cakes and mini cheesecakes. Choose the style that fits your taste and budget. The size of the wedding and the theme are other important things to consider when making the final decision.
Sit down with your husband and decide on the most adequate cake for the reception. If you are not able to make this choice on your own, ask your baker about the perfect option for your wedding. Consider the criteria listed above. The number of your guests must also influence your choice. If the wedding is relatively small, of 30-50 guests, you can surely use cupcakes in various colors and flavors for a more individual taste. If your wedding is bigger, order individual single-tier cakes and display them in a more unique manner. Instead of placing the tiers in a staked design, arrange them separately.

Flowers are an integrant part of a wedding. They are used for the bride and bridal party bouquets, for the boutonnieres and corsages, for the ceremony and reception décor, but also for wedding cakes. Brides who love floral themes can consider fresh blooms for a thematic wedding cake. There are a few important aspects to consider when putting real flowers on a cake, however. The first and most important thing is to learn more about toxicity of flowers. Ask a florist or cake maker if the flowers you wish to incorporate in your cake are safe to use or not. Your cake designer should be able to tell you if the project you want is feasible. In case the blooms you like are toxic, your baker can use plastic holders to keep the stems away from direct contact with the cake.
This is one of the many reasons for why so many couples prefer to use fabric blooms and decorations for their cake. The effect is just as beautiful, but this is a personal choice. The cascading style is one of the most popular when it comes to wedding cakes with flowers. You can use orchids, roses or calla lilies to create this design. These flowers are lavish and they can look extremely romantic when arranged this way. Use cherry blossoms and vines for a spring cake and a charming look. Use a bouquet of your favorite flowers you’ve also used for your bouquet as a cake topper. This is the easiest way to decorate a cake with flowers. Daises are great choices for polka dot patterns.
