Winter Wedding Cakes
Your Wedding Cake is the centre piece of your wedding so it deserves the thinking time. Sometimes all it takes to create that delicious winter wedding cake is a few well-placed accessories. Surround your cake and its table with Mother Nature’s treasures. Look for berries, pinecones, holly leaves, poinsettia plants, magnolia leaves, and any other plant or flower that would be appropriate.
Because you are serving food, however, you might want to avoid the real thing. Some plants and berries are poisonous.
While wedding cakes come in all different styles, shapes, colours, flavours and designs,they are traditionally are round or square. A square wedding cake delivers clean lines which are both modern and elegant. However, these days it is worth remembering that anything is possible.
Square wedding cakes have become very popular at the moment. Many contemporary brides are choosing square wedding cakes over the round traditional wedding cakes. Also they are much easier to cut and can be give out to wedding guests quicker and will probably serve serve more guests.
You can go for a white cake with white icing trimmed with blue and silver. Decorations and cake toppers like pinecones, snowflakes made of spun sugar, metallic cake decorations, or a wedding cake platform shaped like a sled (and drawn by white or silver reindeer) are always an elegant choice. For a fun, lighthearted touch, consider adding sugar polar bears or chocolate penguins to a blue-iced wedding cake.
Winter wedding cakes don’t have to be necessarily white . With the wide range of colors and themes available to the winter cake, let your imaginations run. Celebrate winter and all it has to offer with a sparkling confection which highlights the magic of the season. Color and imaginative design will never be more appropriate than in the center of the cake table at a winter wedding.
For example you can opt for a Christmas cakes designed to look like daintily wrapped presents with poinsettia, holly or evergreen decorations. Accents can include pine cones, theme-shaped glass ornaments and cranberries. January’s chill brings with it New Year’s Day and all the glamour and glitz of the holiday. Highlight the crisp snow flakes, icicles and sparkling lights of winter nights with edible glitters, gold and silver cake toppers and layers of snowy icing.
If you’re planning your wedding in February you should consider the Valentines Day wedding cake. You can choose a heart-shaped cake covered in pink or red roses, and pomegranates and mandarin oranges can add to the holiday spirit. Consider a chocolate cake, instead of the traditional white, for a delicious alternative to the expected.
Woodsy and Rustic. Relatively new but enchanting, this theme involves rustic notes such as bird’s nests, lanterns grapevines, pussy willows, iced branches and adorable bird motifs (naturalistic ones, like chickadees).The cake often sports some kind of cedar or pine, snow-tipped pinecones and a stunning bird-and-twig topper.

Wedding cakes
For as long as I can remember people have been talking about wedding cakes as an essential part of the celebration, turning this wonderful sweet into an art.
Made out of marzipan, white or dark chocolate, with fruit or cream, the wedding cake is a special moment in the wedding party, because it is the first thing the bride and groom share, both among themselves and with the rest of the guests, thus symbolizing the common future.
Although the size, shape or ingredients used to prepare the wedding cake has changed greatly over time, the tradition has remained the same. In the past it was very common for the cake to be made and brought by guests. The taller the cake the more appreciated by the wedding guests was the bride.
The origins of the wedding cake are quite interesting. In medieval England the bride and groom had to kiss over a pile of cookies. By covering the stack of cakes with frosting, a clever baker of those times invented the wedding cake, making it so popular that from then on every major event had to have a cake present.
Besides tradition, the cake has become the life of the party, catching the eye of young persons as well as old one.
Ancient Greeks used to make a cake out of sesame, and pieces were thrown towards the new couple as confetti or rice is used today.
The wedding cake is a symbol of a fertile and prosperous future of the new couple. When you divide the cake at a wedding or a party it means that you’re sharing the joy with your guests.
Today the cake is made to fit better in the wedding theme; its decoration is the most important part in its manufacture. In general, they prefer white for the wedding cake, but more and more couples opt for custom made cakes. Those who prepare the cakes are not just simple cake confectioners, but they are designers.
The significance of the wedding cake is also slightly modified today. The grooms together with the godparents cut the first slice of cake along with the same knife and then feed each other, which means union and involvement in the couple.
