A wonderful wedding cake is something that every single bride and groom deserves to have for their upcoming wedding. In my opinion, if the reception, dress, tuxes and decor will be sleek and stylish, the cake groom wedding speech should match. While you may want to get the best wedding cake for your wedding you may not be up to date with the latest in terms of cake design… So here I am going to go through what you need to look out for.
Deserts for the Modern Couple
Typically, cakes can be labeled modern if they deviate from the traditional. All modern wedding cakes are usually ones that give of a sign of beauty and elegance regardless of how much the design differs from conventional wedding cakes.
Most of the wedding that you will have been to will have wedding cakes that are round in shape with a lot of frosting as their main design feature. There are literally any number of different options you could go with if you opt to deviate from the traditional path, from getting a square cake to really going crazy and getting some cupcakes.
Square Cakes
One popular trend in modern wedding cake designs is the square cake. Often times you are going to be offered to get a fondant base for your square wedding cake, this is quite normal. Fondant is a special kind of edible material that you can use to give the base of the cake a glassy effect.
Now you can really add whatever kind of decorations that you would desire once the fondant has been placed. This material allows for a versatility in design that is not as easily created with frosting, and it retains a sleek profile for that modern, clean-lined appeal.
Cupcake Weddings
Cupcakes have come a long way from the individual cakes made for third grade birthday parties. In most cases but not always the wedding cupcakes are usually part of a bigger wedding cake display that add to the dramatic overall effect.
To keep safe and really make your wedding cupcakes look that much more elegant you would decorate them with either fondant, ganache or the most popular choice is frosting. You can display the cupcakes in any number or different ways but the most common in modern times it to setup a cupcake tier or some kind.
Whatever the bride and groom’s final decision on the cake choice, they will surely be pleased with the many different modern wedding cake options to fit their reception needs. Whether it be a square cake or a cupcake or even the option of getting both you can really go crazy when it comes to getting the right cake for you.
