Contemporary Twist on Traditional Wedding Cakes

This is an example of a contemporary twist on a traditional wedding cake for a Derbyshire Wedding. Displayed at the wedding reception as three tiers on a cake stand, a further larger kitchen cake kept behind the scenes by the catering staff of the reception venue to ensure that there was sufficient cake to serve the guests whilst enabling the top tier to be kept for a later date (perhaps a subsequent party or do we hear the pitter patter of little feet).


Each tier was made in a different flavour (moist fruit cake, carrot cake and plain sponge) thus providing the guests with a selection - although fruit cake is a firm traditional favourite for wedding cakes (perhaps because it keeps so well and enables a tier to be kept for a subsequent Christening) it is suprising that in today's trends we find that some guests do not like the flavour (the same seems to go for mince pies and christmas puddings - although that's a different celebration altogether).

The cake was personalised by implementing a bespoke design on each tier, the couples initials were integrated into the decoration of the top tier.
