Serene Bride Wedding Planner - Wedding Cakes

The history of wedding cakes goes back to Roman times when ingredients were seen as symbols of fertility. Bread was broken over the couple's heads and guests saved the crumbs as tokens of good luck.

A few centuries ago, in France, it was the fashion to cover a mound of small cakes with marzipan, and to then break the whole of it over the bride's head when the small cakes would shower out.

New wedding cake traditions

Gradually traditions have changed and the large wedding cake became a focal point, although small cakes are becoming fashionable again. Now, there is a lot more fun in choosing the ideal wedding cake by using colour, texture and imaginative designs to suit the overall theme of the wedding.

There is also a vast selection of styles, available in different sizes and decorations for cakes with fillings.

Breathtaking, mouth-watering, decadent are the watchwords for today's wedding cakes whether you require a traditional, contemporary or novelty style for your wedding, our professionals will assist you to design and select a wedding cake that is individually yours.

Chocolate wedding cakes!

Chocoholic……………………
Gone are the days when the only wedding cake was the traditional three-tier fruitcake. While it is still enormously popular, you can choose from a plain sponge, lemon cake, passion cake, carrot cake and, of course, the chocolate cake.

Chocolate has tremendous appeal and always makes people feel good, as well as always having been associated with romance and passion. A chocolate wedding cake would be appropriate as it is also versatile and can act as both the dessert and traditional wedding cake.

Like Madonna and Guy you may decide to choose a spectacular Croquembouche, or to have a fruitcake, which has the ability to stand the test of time, for your guests to take home.
