FEATURED

What could be lovelier for a Sunday afternoon than a screen full of glorious wedding cakes?! Discover the top trends for 2015 in this enlightening article written especially for us by Carolyn, wedding coordinator from our sponsor The Pavilion at Lane End. I hope you find it really useful… I’ve really enjoyed looking at all the beautiful cake pics!

Hello there!

I recently had the rare opportunity to bend the ear and pick the brain of a top class wedding cake designer who displayed some of her wonderful creations at one of our recent Wedding Open Days. It was too good an opportunity to miss, so I just delved in and got it from the horse’s mouth – this year’s top trends.

Soft pastels

Soft pastels are definitely an in-demand colour for weddings in 2015. Think soft lemon, pearl, pistachio, orchid tint. Looking at cakes on Pinterest, one idea that seems to be quite popular is choosing a different shade for each layer, creating a wedding cake with a colour gradient from light to dark. See more...

Wedding cakes are no longer just elegant tiers of royal icing with simple or sugarpaste flowers. They’re statements, talking points and reflections of your personalities.

And as with everything in weddings, fashions come and go. Cakes are exciting.

Tiers are out… and then they’re in. And then it’s cheese, and then cheesecake, then cakes get naked, or half-naked, or everyone has cupcakes then towers of croquembouche… and bloggers say don’t bother with a wedding cake. What’s a bride and groom to do?! If there’s one thing writing the English Wedding Blog has taught me, it’s that cake is important to me. I’m a cake lover – and not just for my sweet tooth but for the beautiful, breathtaking wedding cake designs I get to see every single day. Call me lucky! 🙂

Rosalind Miller wedding cakes – the Winter Collection

UK wedding cake designers are the best in the world. My favourite cake designers are all based in the UK, and there’s so much choice in wedding cakes you’ll never struggle to find one you love! Gone are the days when designers were limited by convention; ingredients for a modern wedding cake include folklore, nature and Russian jewellery boxes – at least according to the fabulous Rosalind Miller Cakes!

A Winter Garden – Rosalind Miller Cakes

Rosalind Miller’s Winter Garden wedding cake is a true showstopper; the ideal statement cake for a winter wedding celebration. I love icy blues and silver for a winter wedding; the delicate styling and flower stems of this cake make it both intricate and striking.

Ring O Roses Rosalind Miller Cakes

For a floral wedding cake and an English garden wedding style, I just love the Ring O Roses cake – inspired by a nursery rhyme, it has a pretty simplicity and girlish colours which work beautifully together.

My favourite! Au Naturale is a stack of Madagascan vanilla sponge filled with vanilla buttercream and fruity raspberry jam, with a long glossy red ribbon bow, which draped down the length of the cake creates a bold and striking focal point.

No. 14: The Cake Topper

Days to go: 38

One thing that has been out of our hands for the wedding is the cake – we decided we’d like a surprise and to be honest, didn’t really know where to start anyway! Wedding cakes are a minefield at the best of times. A friend and neighbour of Richard’s family, Gina, is absolutely ace at making cakes, and when she offered to make ours as our wedding present – how could we refuse!

I made a cake inspiration board for her along the lines of ivory and black and left her to her own devices! We’ve tasted her trial cake – and it was the most amazing cake I have ever eaten! I’ve never been keen on wedding cake and I don’t like icing, so instead of the traditional, our cake will be a chocolate ganache cake with a raspberry filling – all covered in rollable white chocolate! Oh yes oh yes.

Gina sent me a photo of the cake topper today – it is absolutely beautiful! Gina is a genius. Yes – that’s all icing! I’m baffled at how she does it. See more...
