Wedding Cake Decorations

What makes a wedding cake unforgettable?

It all comes down to any of these three factors:

-     The flavor

-     The wedding cake decorations

-     Or, both

Take this theory for a test drive for a moment. Think back to the last wedding you were at.  Do you even remember the wedding cake?

Right now, a good number of you who are reading this are saying, “Uh-uh. Nope”.

As for the small minority of you who actually do remember the wedding cake, allow me to ask – what is it that you remember about that wedding cake?  Was it the flavor (did it taste absolutely amazing, or particularly horrendous)? Or was it the appearance of the wedding cake, in other words, the wedding cake decorations, that made the cake memorable?

Its got to be one of the two, or perhaps both.

Let’s talk visuals.  What makes a wedding cake visually memorable? It all comes down to the wedding cake decorations. Take the wedding cake decorations off of the wedding cake, and what have you got?  Just a cake. Nothing special. A plain, boring cake.

So you see, as far as visuals go, the wedding cake decorations make the cake.

That’s why we’ve developed an entire website about wedding cake decorations. Because ultimately, that’s what a wedding cake boils down to – the wedding cake decorations. It’s all in the decorations.

So this site will help you focus on and explore the world of ideas and options for wedding cake decorations so you end up with a wedding cake that is the important focal point at your wedding reception that every wedding cake is supposed to be, and not something that guests don’t even bother to blink an eye at.

If you want to make an impression with your wedding cake, it’s time to get going with the ideas for how your cake will look – in other words, your wedding cake decorations.

Will your cake be decorated with fondant or gumpaste? Will you use flowers? If so, will they be icing, fresh, or silk? And if you said “fresh flowers”, will these be edible flowers (real flowers you can actually eat, or non-edible (just good to look at, but not good enough to eat!).

And what about other wedding cake decorations? Will your cake have separators? For instance ornamental pillars are used to separate tiers or a tiered wedding cake. Or do you prefer the look where one layer sits directly on the next?

Will your cake be decorated in icing motifs? If so, what motif do you have in mind. If your wedding has a theme, your wedding cake decorations will probably be influenced by the theme. For example, imagine that your wedding has a French theme. You could have your wedding cake decorator decorate your cake by icing the word “Paris” in small handwriting script all over the wedding cake.  You could top your wedding cake with a miniature Eiffel Tower cake topper.

And that brings us to one last consideration when it comes to wedding cake decorations – will your wedding cake have a cake topper, or will you go “topless”?
