Alternative Ways To Have Your Cake & Eat It Too!

Wedding Cake Ideas, Wedding Cake Inspiration

Statement Cakes: Multi-tier, Modern, Lace, Chalkboard

Traditionally, a symbol of fertility and prosperity, with the top tier saved for the christening of a wedded couple’s first born, the humble wedding cake is now a whole lot more then ever before! Some are getting bigger, bolder and with multiple flavours as well as tiers. Some are works of pure art with the most technical of detailing. And with the trend for dessert tables getting more and more popular, it seems that one cake just isn’t enough anymore.

Here’s our delicious spread of just some of the choices available to a cake-loving bride and groom. Plus a few alternatives for those looking for something a little different.

We recommend you eat before you look through this, so you are not tempted to jump into a pile of sponge and cream afterwards…
