Published December 3, 2012 | 
Whether you are having the wedding on the beach or not, you can always choose it to be your wedding theme. There are so many beautiful decorations and ideas to put in practice that you will surely succeed in having a beach wedding. Even the wedding cake can be decorated in such a way. You can have it done by a baker or cake artist or you can choose the style and the decorations yourself. Here are some of the beach inspired wedding cake ideas that you will simply love.
It is also important to consider the flavors of the wedding cake. What goes better than tropical fruits? You can blend flavors well with rum, so you can have a vanilla or a chocolate rum cake. A tropical taste is also represented by coconut and other fruits like pineapples, mango, guava, passion fruit, papaya and others. You can mix the fruit chunks right in the batter or you can include a thin layer of jelly fruits between the layers of the cake and the icing. It will surely delight your taste. Another idea to integrate the beach theme is to choose a specific shape for the cake. How about crafting the cake to look like a sandcastle or as a seashell? The cake can also be shaped like a beach ball or like an umbrella. There are many ideas to put in practice. Actually, you can decorate each tier of the cake with such beach elements and make everyone feel like they are on the beach.

Other decoration ideas include bright and tropical flowers, palm trees, seashells and other sea creatures made out of fondant. Even in icing they can be created. Even edible tropical flowers can be used. Choose a sky blue wedding cake and place white starfish and palm trees into the icing and put the bride and the groom on top of the cake in a palm canopy. Other ideas include using icing to create rolling blue waves or use colored sugar and shake it over the cake so it looks like it is sandy.
If you are looking for a more elegant and classic wedding cake, you can have a pearl cake. Make pearls out of gum paste and brush them with dust, to give them that real look. The pearls can then be attached on the sides of the cake, in many patterns. Along with the pearls, put shells as well, to create that oceanic theme.

Simple Wedding Cakes
Published November 28, 2012 | Everything related to weddings costs large amounts of money. Couples tend to focus too much on the arrangements rather than on what the wedding actually means.

But you can still focus on simple wedding cakes, as they can still be beautiful and they can have a direct effect on any theme chosen.

Usually, the bride and the groom cut together the wedding cake and the first tier is usually frozen and given to the couples to serve on their first anniversary.

But a simple wedding cake does not have to be dull, as you can still focus on color and everything that comes along with it. Simple designs can make more than you can imagine. You can consider hearts and beads to add to the wedding cake. You can also use white designs on a wedding cake, to maintain the simplicity and to add a little bit of interest. However, nobody says that wedding cakes should be only white. There are actually quite interesting colors to choose from. You can use frosting or fondant to cover the wedding cake and food coloring can be used to obtain any possible shade.
