Kristy Cruz on Unsplash THE STORY OF US A wedding cake isn’t only a great vehicle for reflecting your theme, it’s also a wonderful way of telling your story. Here are some of our favourite ideas... • Personalised cake topper. Explore a world of choice from a catchy or cheeky phrase to your names or initials and wedding date. Or why not be extra and ask for an ornate hand painted monogram on one of the cake’s iced layers? • Reveal cake Business at the front, party at the back! • Newlywed models personalised to be uniquely you They might be designed to mirror your wedding attire or depict you as superheroes, the choice is yours. We love it when couples use Pop Vinyls or Lego minifigs as a loveable nod to the inner nerd! • Incorporate your pets Just as you can commission personalised models of yourselves, you can do the same for your beloved fur baby. They could be made from icing or something you can treasure forever. They might be taking a cheeky bite of the sweet treat, or up top with the two of you, looking for a fuss! • Palette perfection Be sure to brief your cake designer on your wedding palette to ensure your bake adds to your styling. Depending on who you’ve chosen, they may also be able to create stunning sugar flowers to mirror your bouquet or create an icing texture to complement the lace on your gown. If you’re decorating with fresh flowers, do leave it to the professionals, as many varieties cannot be used near food – it’s best to leave no margin for error! • Focal point Wedding cakes aren’t cheap, so make the most of yours by displaying it to the max. Cake meadows are oh-so popular, pairing the bake with a jaw-dropping, Insta-worthy floral display. We love cakes displayed on vintage furniture such as a dresser or upcycled side table for a shabby chic vibe. Kadarius Seegars on Unsplash Thomas AE on Unsplash Kristy Cruz on Unsplash 34
