Your East Midlands Wedding - February/March 2022 (Issue 48)

BIG-DAY BAKES Our experts share popular cake trends for 2022 weddings Calling all cake lovers! This year is shaping up to become a popular time to tie the knot and will be full of glorious weddings with showstopping cakes. With so many fun flavours and designs, couples can get creative and wow their guests with some fantastic ideas. If you’re planning a big-day bake, consider different ways the cake can represent your wedding theme while keeping in mind your colour scheme – you’ll want everything to be cohesive throughout the day. Expect a higher price point if you’re opting for a complicated design with many details. Speak to your baker if you’re concerned, as they’ll be able to suggest ways to work around the budget while still capturing your vision. Here at Your East Midlands Wedding, we’ve asked some of the top bakers from around the region to share top cake trends and advice for weddings this year. JULIA FLORENCE CAKE DESIGN Sarah Reilly says, “Our passion is to offer beautiful and elegant cakes that add the wow factor to weddings. It’s important to create something that looks and tastes amazing, so your guests will remember it for years to come. “Couples currently want something personal to them, designed around their theme and colour scheme to complement all aspects of their special day. We love creating dessert tables and cake towers for those wishing to achieve this. Both can be displayed in various ways, including modern and contemporary styles to elegant and classic or romantic and rustic. These different concepts are an excellent way to cater for all guests with so much variety to choose from. There’s always a beautiful sponge or fruit cake for our couples to cut traditionally, as well as stunning cupcakes, beautiful macarons, and personalised cookies to add that special touch for our lovebirds. We also offer mini brownies and blondies, meringue kisses, cake pops and even minicake jars for guests to take home. The possibilities with these ideas are endless, and we love creating something different for each pair to complement their wedding perfectly.” Check out: www.juliaflorencecakedesign.co.uk www.fieldphotographic.com www.fieldphotographic.com CAKES 43
