Wedding cakes and groom’s cakes are great ways to showcase your individuality as a couple. The choice of cake flavors and cake design are simple touches that make your wedding more personal and help showcase who you are as a couple.
In September, I had the honor of making a wedding cake and a groom’s cake for a sweet couple, Adam and Karlie. The Bride chose an elegant style for their wedding cake while incorporating a whimsical touch. Each of the five tiers of the wedding cake had a smooth finish, and then gorgeous white fondant roses and leaves cascaded from the top to bottom tiers to create a timeless, elegant look.
To add a touch of whimsy, the couple asked for a model of their dog to be peeking through the frosting on the back of the cake. Additionally, they chose a mix of three different flavors for the wedding cake: Funfetti cake, vanilla cake, and cookies and cream cake.
To add even more uniqueness to their day, the couple opted to have a groom’s cake at the reception. The Groom wanted to incorporate three things: bourbon, the New York Yankees, and the Colorado Buffalos. He chose the top tier of the cake to look like a bourbon barrel and to be a chocolate bourbon cake. The bottom tier he chose was a cookies and cream cake, and the cake was decorated in New Yankees colors and Colorado Buffalos colors.
This wedding was a perfect example of a classic wedding cake style with a bit of personalization of adding the family pet to it. The Groom’s cake showcased his interests and brought some non-traditional cake flavors to the table. So, you really can customize your cake to show how perfectly two individuals come together as one.
