Highgrove: Wedding Cakes

Wedding cake... it is one of the most celebrated and anticipated traditions of a wedding. Who doesn't adore a delicious slice (or two) of a decadent sweet after dinner? In addition to being a focal point at the reception throughout the night,  guests like to take pictures of the cake, and it is always a special moment when the newlyweds work together to cut that first slice together, symbolizing their first task together as husband and wife. It's always an anticipated moment to watch whether the couple handles the feeding of the first bite sweetly or in more of a smashing scene on one another's faces. Either way, guests are always excited to taste!

One of the trends coming back this year is the traditional frosted cake (versus the unfrosted version that was so popular last season). Texture and pattern are also popular, showcasing design elements on the cake simply with the frosting instead of only adding additional decor. Fresh flowers are always in style, but sugar flowers are incredibly elegant as well and can add that wow factor to any cake design.
