Edible Wedding Cake Decorations Help Set The Tone For Your Reception

On your special day shouldn't you have a wedding cake that sets the mood for the reception? A bride can have it all with the incredible selection of decorated wedding cakes available on the market today. The traditional white wedding cake with a bride and groom topper was considered the norm as recently as five years ago. Luckily, cake decorators and designers have learned how to make delicious edible wedding cake decorations that will set the tone for your reception.

An incredibly beautiful cake with edible wedding cake decorations is the three tiered wedding cake with pink sugar paste roses and petals that appear to float down the sides of the cake. The cake is covered with white fondant for a smooth and professional looking cake.

Perhaps you would like a cake draped with pearls for a Victorian look? This is easy to accomplish as well; realistic looking pearls that are actually edible wedding cake decorations are created out of fondant. Finish the dressy look by hand painting flowers on the fondant icing. If you love a Parisian look decorate your cake with black fondant ribbons dotted with hot pink bows and green leaves.

Another beautiful look is the fondant-covered cake decorated with gum-paste flowers. Imagine your cake covered with edible roses, tulips, violets, zinnias or whatever flower you desire. This flowery cake makes the ultimate romantic statement and is popular at traditional, Victorian and summer weddings.

Many brides will admit to having a sweet tooth, especially for chocolate. Divine creations can be made of dark, milk and white chocolate. Any type of chocolate decoration on the cake can be created from chocolate. Favorite chocolate edible wedding cake decorations include flowers, leaves and miniature brides and grooms. There won't be any leftover cake at the end of the reception if the wedding cake is made of chocolate!

Elaborate edible wedding cake decorations are becoming very popular. A cake decorated with sugar-paste ribbons looks lovely and the ribbons are strong enough to be the supports between tiers. Pastillage flowers look incredibly real and look wonderful on cakes designed for garden weddings.

Cake toppers can also be made of edible materials. Small white chocolate topiary pots filled with miniature fondant flowers will amaze partygoers and thrill small children. Both fondant and chocolate can be used to create flowers, doves, gazebos or anything else you may dream up.

Petit fours are becoming popular as substitutions for the multi-tiered wedding cake. These miniature cakes can be decorated with fondant, chocolate, sugar paste or gum-paste. Your guests may enjoy these tiny confections as they are beautiful to look at and are usually smaller portions than the wedding cake that is given out at mostweddings.

Beautiful and tasty edible wedding cake decorations also include holiday cakes that use crushed peppermint candies or candy canes such as those at winter weddings. Valentines Day cakes also may use a variety of edible toppings and can include candy hearts and chocolate cupids. Spring holiday cakes may have wedding cake toppers that are chocolate spring baskets filled with edible flowers or sugar Faberge-style eggs.

If you have a limited decoration budget and want to make the most impact, choose a specially designed cake with edible wedding cake decorations for a truly memorable and delectable celebration. Finding a baker for the elaborate style cake designs you want may be difficult depending on your location, but the search may well be worth it.
