    Dessert stands are growing in popularity among modern couples. These stands offer a variety of sweet treats for your guests to pick and choose from.

    A unique way to display your desserts is in tower form. It adds a unique and dramatic finish, and also provides height and variety to your dessert table from a visual standpoint.

    These towers are also easily accessible for your guests, as it is made up of individual treats. They can simply reach out and grab whichever dessert takes their fancy. This also helps move lines along, as people won’t be taking forever to cut a piece of cake or dish out some mousse.

    Your options are endless with dessert towers. You can layer donuts, cupcakes and even cheese to create stunning stacks of treats.

    How to stack your cheese cake tower

    No Comments

    Cake is a wedding tradition, but that doesn’t make it a requirement. For those lacking a sweet tooth, a cake won’t make sense. An excellent alternative is a cheese tower!

    Alternatives like cookies, pancake stacks and fruit cakes have grown in popularity over the years as couples desire something more unique and memorable than a traditional cake. These options are great, but a cheese tower is perfect for those not wanting another sweet dessert.

    If you’re already offering a dessert table with a variety of sweet treats on your big day and don’t want a massive wedding cake, then a cheese tower is a great replacement.

    Stack your favourite cheese rounds on top of each other to create a unique and delicious tiered cake. From brie to blue, camembert to stilton, there are so many tasty cheeses to choose from.

    Of course, you can still go wild with decorations. Place fruits like figs and grapes on the sides of the tower, and don’t forget about the delicious freshly-baked bread and crackers to accompany. Have jams, honey and more fresh fruit on hand to pair with your cheeses.

    When stacking the cake, think logically. The heaviest, firmer cheeses should go at the bottom to hold everything else up. Softer cheeses like brie or goats cheese should be saved for the top tier.

    To make things easier when serving the ‘cake’, you could simply cut the tiers into smaller cheese blocks. Or you could incorporate it into your harvest table and let your guests go crazy!

    Cutting-edge geometric-inspired wedding cakes

    No Comments

    If you love modern design and clean lines, this cake trend is for you. Many couples have been loving incorporating geometry into their wedding cake to bring a unique finish and edge.

    This style is greatly inspired by the minimalist trend that focuses on simple detail to create a big statement. You don’t need tons of flowers, loud colours and tiers upon tiers to impress your guests. Simply turn to your junior school maths set for inspiration!

    Using shapes like circles, squares, triangles and hexagons on your cake add a unique and modern look. You can go flat or use them in 3-dimensional elements to really pack a punch. Remember to keep the rest of the cake simple to avoid it being too overwhelming.

    Here are some shapely ideas to inspire you:

    All that glitters: Gold wedding cakes

    No Comments

    If gold is good enough for royalty and Olympic winners, it’s good enough for us! We love gold for its luxurious look, it adds a special sparkle to a wedding day without being overwhelming.

    Gold is a unique colour in that it pairs well with almost any other colour. It works especially well with white or black for a more classic look, but can easily stand out alongside bolder hues like pinks, reds and greens.

    Whether you want large explosions of colour or finer details, gold can work in any capacity on your wedding cake. We’ve rounded up a few glamorous cakes that prove why you should go for gold.

    How to have an out-of-this-world Star Wars wedding

    No Comments

    If your love is out of this world, a Star Wars wedding theme may be perfect for you. Lovers of the iconic franchise can easily incorporate elements of it into their big day in both over-the-top and subtle ways.

    Depending on your style and preference, you can go big or small. You could have Darth Vader officiate your wedding, or have your bridesmaids carry lightsabers instead of bouquets. Or, you could be more demure and simply have references to the film added to your seating chart or wedding cake.

    Here are some ideas to include this theme into your decor in a variety of ways.

    Absolutely amazing abstract wedding cakes

    No Comments

    Art-lovers will find a new favourite in abstract-inspired wedding cakes. These cakes display the visual language of abstract art, which does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect.  

    Abstract art is about bold, unregulated design. Much like love, it cannot be controlled and cannot be easily defined because it is all about perspective.

    For those who live in the grey area of life, this aesthetic is perfect. You can let your imagination run free with unique strokes, shapes and colours.

    Here are some stunning abstract cakes to inspire you:

    Ways to bring your love of breakfast into your wedding

    No Comments

    Is breakfast your favourite meal of the day? Bring in your love for the important morning meal into your wedding!

    There are a number of ways you can honour breakfast on your big day. Here are some ideas to try.

    Have a breakfast wedding:

    We’re all familiar with dreamy afternoon weddings that celebrate late into the evening. While this can be a beautiful and more traditional approach, there’s something simply magical about a breakfast wedding. They’re more budget-friendly, offer more flexible timing, and provide a wide variety of foods to serve.

    If you’re having a breakfast wedding, it makes sense to offer bars tailored to specific foods. From a coffee or juice bar to a hot breakfast buffet, the options are endless (and delicious!).

    Get punny:

    There are so many egg-cellent food puns you can use in your big day. Here are a few of our favourites.

    Fruity fancies:

    Fruits work as amazing breakfast sides and decor. Use aromatic delights like oranges, lemons and grapefruit to add a pop of colour to your big day and get the room smelling like a tropical vacation.

    Sweet treats:

    For your wedding cake, you have two options. You could go literal by using popular breakfast foods like pancakes and waffles as alternative cakes, or infuse flavours you commonly associate with breakfast into the cake. You could do a coffee cake or a cinnamon cake or even incorporate your favourite fruits like oranges, blueberries and banana into the decor.

    No Comments

    A wedding cake topper is the final element of your wedding cake, giving that last touch to your perfect dessert. These toppers work wonders in personalising your cake.

    From adorable animals to Lego creations, here are some creative toppers to act as the cherry on top of your cake:

    Gesture cakes – The affordable alternative

    No Comments

    A wedding cake is the sweet cherry on top of an exciting day. Newlyweds slice into the cake, symbolic of the first action they take together as partners.

    The wedding cake has a centuries-long history, and started as a tradition that was said to ensure fertility. Today, however, while many still choose elaborate wedding cakes, some have opted for a more paired-down experience.

    A new trend has emerged for those not wanting to go big on price and drama with their wedding cake. Instead of a tiered creation, they have a gesture cake. Gesture cakes are mini, affordable cakes that still hold the essence of tradition but won’t create a massive hole in your bank account.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ttCxfjo_w/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    Of course, this cake won’t feed an army either. It’s generally the size of a normal cake one may have at a birthday party. For those having micro-weddings, this option is perfect. You won’t have a ton of cake go to waste, and get to save some money in the process.

    Just because it’s a smaller cake does not mean it has to be boring. Take a look at these stunning treats:
