Why have a wedding cake?
According to Emily Post, the diva of etiquette, the only element necessary to create a wedding reception, other than the bride and groom of course, is a wedding cake.
This may seem like a large responsibility for a simple confection, but even the simplest of cakes can turn an intimate gathering into a grand celebration. Whether you choose towering tiers of intricate icing lace, or a single layer whose only ornament is one perfect flower, your cake will reflect your personality, taste and the joy of the occasion.
Standing at center stage, the wedding cake is the crowning glory to any reception. Just as the bride stands out amongst the wedding party, so the wedding cake demands attention. Often designed after the bride herself, the cake can have many personalities, evoking similar reactions as the dramatic bridal entrance that precedes it. It can be elegant, whimsical or modern, but always beautiful, it is the focal point around which the other elements of the reception are built.
The choices for your cake are virtually limitless. From decadently moist layers of chocolate toffee covered in dark chocolate buttercream, to airy white sponge drizzled with a delicate lemon glaze, every taste can be indulged. There is something to please everyone, and no doubt everyone will be pleased, with a delicious and breathtaking creation designed especially for you.
