Winter Wedding Cake

Winter weddings are beautiful and they are truly special thanks to the season and what it actually means. The wedding cake should be in the same theme as the entire wedding and must complement the season. You can find such great toppers and decorations for the cake that you will enjoy. The winter wedding cake can be done in so many ways and can look stunning, so let’s see some great ideas of which you can pick up and do for yourself.

The flavor of the wedding cake can be in the same tone as the winter. Stray away from the traditional white cake and choose a caramel spice cake, filled with caramel butter cream frosting. Oranges and dark chocolate filling can also be a very inspiring idea, decorated with flecks of orange. You can still choose a white cake, but inside it can be filled with cranberry butter cream frosting and filling.  The color is very important at any wedding, but there is nothing like white in a wintery day. Try colors like icy blue, rustic greens and deep red and chocolate ganache. You can make the colors pop by choosing an ivory cake covered in green sugar holy leaves.

Matching the cake with the bridal flowers and the arrangements can easily be done. You can talk with the cake artist or the person who makes the cake and tell him to create sugar versions of the flowers you use. You can have some large sugar callas for the cake tiers, this being a more modern perspective, but one that will definitely male everyone place their eyes on the winter wedding cake. You can think of decorations like snowflakes, pinecones made out of chocolate and fondant, but be sure you don’t overdo it. You can simply order a white cake with subtle white sugar snowflakes. This will lead to an elegant design and will give you the feeling of winter indeed.
