Wedding Cakes 42

A spectacular cake creates a beautiful focal point at a wedding reception so it’s important to find the right one for you. Cake designers are really stepping up to the challenge by creating bespoke designs which reflect details of the wedding dress, stationery and general themes and flavours of the day. We’ve selected hundreds of the latest designs from the world’s most talented cake makers to help you choose a stunning centrepiece for your celebration.

This season’s collection is divided into dozens of decoration trends, with everything from minimal style to textured cakes which mirror the ruffles, layers and clusters of flowers seen on the catwalk. If you’ve chosen to use the texture trend for your wedding then you can find out how to get the look on page 33. The Sorbet Style collection shows you how to ice your cakes with pretty pastel shades for spring and summer and you can find out how to match the cakes with the bridesmaids dresses on page 24.

As well as the designs in this magazine, the Wedding Cake Showroom at Squires Kitchen’s Cake Decorating, Chocolate and Sugarcraft Exhibition is a fantastic opportunity to see the work of some of the best designers from around the country in one place: see page 88 for more information.

For those of you thinking of making the cake yourself or asking a friend or family member to make it for you, we have two very different step-by-step projects: choose from a vintage style wedding cake with a contemporary colour combination or a cute bird couple dressed in their wedding finery for an on-trend alternative to bride and groom figurines. To make a cake that’s just as fabulous inside as out, try David Lebovitz’s delicious chocolate Racines cake recipe on page 110.
