Today's weddings are so unique....each one I go to is so different from the next...and in a good way! People are so in tuned to who they are and what they like. Traditions no longer hang over your head and whisper in your ear what you should eat, wear, or decorate with at weddings. Weddings can be as unique as you are...
My cousin was recently married, and I had the opportunity to create a truly unique and memorable cake for the bride and groom. They wanted a design that was theirs....no one else would ever make this same cake. And how exactly to do that? Well, by writing your favorite quotes, song lyrics, inside jokes, etc all over the cake of course! And to top it off, paint your silhouettes on the cake while you're at it!
Their wedding was so fun! I would call the wedding style "vintage country" but even that doesn't fully explain it. Sunflowers, mason jars, white twinkly lights, etc... you get the drift. The couples themselves are very unique. Both worked as acrobats for Disney theme parks, so to say their life is exciting would be an understatement.
So, if you are looking for inspiration for your wedding cake, keep these tips in mind to be able to create a design that is truly "you":
1. Integrate your interests into your cake- This could be a subtle dash of color, a small design element, or even a unique shape to the cake.
2. Add elements of your relationship into the design- You could even do this with your cake flavor. Met in a coffee shop? Make your cake filling a coffee mousse or a mocha cake flavor!
3. Don't copy other cake designs!- So many bakeries will have you look through their "cake book"... don't fall for it! Google a lot of cakes! Maybe pick out design elements you like, and then have a cake artist help you design something along those same lines, but custom! It's worth it!
Good luck with all your planning and if you are in the Los Angeles area, give us a ring to help you design the perfect "unique" wedding cake for your big day!
