This colour palette is also a classic combination that photographs well and remains stylish over time.” A round wedding cake is generally considered a more traditional choice, so Toni chose a square version to demonstrate that different shapes can offer a more contemporary look. “The sharp edges create clean lines that pair well with modern and minimalist wedding styles such as black tie. Square cakes can also complement elements such as modern table floral arrangements on tall columns. If your goal is to lean into tradition, a round cake is a great choice. But, if your overall wedding style is sleek and contemporary, square cakes are definitely the way to go. “They also typically offer more servings than round, which can be helpful when catering for a larger number of guests, especially when choosing to serve the cake as a dessert or with coffee during the speeches, which is popular with twilight weddings. Cutting the cake earlier in the day ensures that it gets eaten by everyone who wants a slice before they hit the dance floor. “The flowers on this cake were made using a mould and can be changed to suit any colour palette with more or less added to suit any wedding vibe.” Find out more at www.redvelvetbakery.co.uk Ask the expert kimberleyhillphotography.com “
