Wedding cakes : a sweet journey between tradition and trends
The wedding cake is much more than just a cake: it is a symbol of togetherness, the culmination of a celebration and an unforgettable moment for the bride and groom and their guests. But with so many options available, how do you choose the perfect one?
The Timeless Classics
Tiered Cake: A timeless icon, the tiered cake offers unparalleled elegance. Its versatility allows each tier to be customized with different flavours and decorations.
Sugar Dough Cake: Perfect for those who want a cake with intricate and customizable details. Sugar paste allows you to create unique sculptures, flowers and patterns.
Naked cake: For lovers of the rustic, natural style, the naked cake is a perfect choice. Without the sugar paste topping, it showcases the layers of sponge cake and filling.
Modern Trends
Shadow cake: A striking visual effect achieved by shading the colours of the icing. A modern and sophisticated option.
Drip cake: Featuring icing dripping down the sides, the drip cake is a fun, youthful alternative.
Geometric cake: Clean lines and geometric shapes for a contemporary, minimalist look.
Themed cake: For those who want a cake that reflects their personality or wedding theme, the options are endless: from a castle-shaped cake to one inspired by a journey.
Flavors and Fillings
In addition to the aesthetic aspect, it is essential to choose the flavours and fillings that the bride and groom like best. Some of the most popular combinations include:
Classic sponge cake: Soft and versatile, it goes well with any type of filling.
Red velvet: Soft and with a distinctive red colour, it is an excellent base for creamy fillings.
Cheesecake: For cheese lovers, cheesecake is a delicious and original choice.
Berries: Fresh and light, berries add a touch of colour and flavour.
