Theme Wedding Cakes: Get Creative For Your Special Day

Themed weddings can range from the very formal and sophisticated to the funky and goofy – either way, a themed wedding is the perfect way to feature some of your personal interests, share your personality with the guests and get everyone involved. And a great way to show off your theme is by designing a theme wedding cake to match.

Your wedding cake is the one decoration that everyone looks at – if they’re not admiring the cake, then they are drooling at the thought of eating it! Either way, decorating a theme wedding cake can be a fun way to really make the theme of your wedding stand out.

Wedding cakes can be made into nearly anything these days – bakers have the ability to bake cakes into different shapes and molds, they can experiment with a full range of colors and create figures entirely out of edible ingredients, such as icing and sugar. Therefore, when you’re deciding how you’d like the style of your theme wedding cake, the sky is the limit.

Obviously, the first part in designing your theme wedding cake is to pick a theme. Weddings are not only sacred ceremonies designed to express love, they are also perfect venues to display creativity and really show the guests the type of people you are.

To that end, pick a theme according to something that both have in common – for example, your common love of a city (Paris, Venice, Las Vegas), or something symbolic about your relationship (the coffee shop where you met). If you took your first vacation to Jamaica, then you can even have a tropical theme wedding or Caribbean themed wedding! Whatever theme you choose, make sure it’s important to the both of you.

Once you have an idea of what you want your theme wedding cake to look like, meet with a professional wedding cake baker to provide him/her with the details.

The great part about designing a theme wedding cake is that there are no limits to what you can do with food! For example, if you are having a Mexican theme wedding, you can ask the baker to create a cake that looks like a piñata, complete with all of the bright colors.

Or, for those who are having more of a sophisticated, mellow themed wedding – such as a wine theme wedding – you can have the baker design your theme wedding cake into the shape of a bottle of your favorite wine. The baker can even create a mock label, identical to the real one.

There are a variety of ways to get creative if you choose to have a theme wedding cake on your special day. The great thing about having a theme wedding cake at the wedding is that although the cake is intended t be part of the overall decorations, it will not stick around all night and therefore, it can be as funky, crazy, loud or obnoxious as you like – by the time the night is over, most of it will be gone anyway.

To create something memorable at your wedding that guests will never forget – something that is original, unique and of course, reflective of your personality, design a theme wedding cake to match the theme of your wedding. And, be sure to take a picture of it before the wedding, since it is likely to be gobbled up by the night’s end.
