Wedding cake idea
Why not ask guests to bring along some cakes for a cake table, this looks very vintage especially if they are arranged on cake stands.
Guests enjoy being included and it will serve as a perfect afternoon tea, for a garden party wedding or as desserts for the evening.
Its a very traditional way of having a family wedding on a budget, which will have a very relaxed, happy atmosphere that everyone can enjoy.
Wedding cake
Wedding cake is always hard to choose as there are so many options.
Many brides who are having a traditional english summer wedding are opting for a table of homemade cakes on cake stands. This acts as a lovely table of desserts and means you can choose all your favourites.
There is also the terrible job of having to taste test them all before you buy, so i suggest starting now.
Supermarkets are a brilliant starting point, the cakes below are all by waitrosedeliver.com, and taste as good as they look.
For a wedding this summer , a bride i am working with is asking all their family and friends who enjoy baking to bring along cakes to add to the table. I would also suggest picking up a bargain at auctions for cake stands and side plates. You can buy lovely mix and match china at great prices and you get to keep it after for future garden parties.
Or buy it plain and add your own roses. These start at about £100 and you can have fruit or sponge.
Wedding cakes
You don’t have to be traditional when it comes to wedding cake, or any other part of your wedding for that matter.
Why not select cheeses that you like, stack them up and decorate with flowers or fruit. You can put it on a cake stand or for a more rustic feel, arrange on to a bread board.
It makes a great cheese course for your meal or a tasty snack with crackers and bread for the evening munchies.
You can still cut the cake and have photo’s taken, and i think it can look just as impressive and decorative as iced cakes.
