Finish

The finish or the icing of your wedding cake comes down to how you want it to look, but also to your tastes. You might prefer the smooth look of fondant icing, or the more rustic semi naked cake look with its roughly finished look.

Remember that it all depend on where your cake will be displayed. Bear in mind that a rustic cake might not look right in a highly stylised room and that an elegantly finished cake might similarly, look odd in a rustic barn.

You might simply prefer the taste of buttercream or chocolate ganache as a finish, so work with your cake maker on this to find what finish works best for you and for the design you want.

Shape

Traditionally, most cakes tend to be round, although we have been through phases with square and even hexagonal cakes being the most popular. What’s to say you can mix them up? My signature geometric cakes look at bringing together different tier shapes to bring a more modern and architectural look to my wedding cakes. With a square base you can mix up hexagon and round tiers for a more unusual look.

Colour - Modern Wedding Cake Inspiration

Gone are the days of white wedding cakes. You can go for just about any shade for your wedding cake. Think about featuring the colours of your bridesmaid dresses, the groom’s tie or any flowers or decoration you’re having on the day.

Your wedding cake can be just as much part of your colour scheme, if you have one, as anything else.

This brightly coloured wedding cake set up is certain to make it stand out above the crowd.

Texture - Modern Wedding Cake Inspiration

The beauty of working with different types of icing for wedding cakes, is that it gives no end of textures. Fondant gives a smooth finish traditionally but it can also be marbled and stretched to give a distressed look. Buttercream and chocolate ganache can be painted or layered on to give more uneven and interesting textures.

This tall, modern wedding cake has a texture created with black and white cocoa butter with textured gold leaf.

Modern Wedding Cake Inspiration

Wedding planning can be overwhelming. There are so many things to consider. Even with your wedding cake, there are so many possibilities with flavours, finishes, style you could go down a Pinterest rabbit hole and lose hours.

That’s why I’ve put this modern wedding cake inspiration guide together to help you with your planning.

You may not even know it yet, especially if you’re still in the early stages of planning your wedding, but the number of possibilities there are when it comes to your wedding cake is massive. What a lot of couples don’t realise is how much is possible for your wedding cake and that there are no rules. Plus, the rules that are there are made to be broken, right?

When it comes to the style of your wedding cake you can go for something completely unique; a one-off centrepiece like none any of your guests will ever have seen before that reflects who you both are.

"Make a moment for cutting AND for serving the cake" - Ways to avoid your wedding cake going to waste

If you’re having a cake then you’ll probably be making a moment for the ceremonial cutting. Once that’s done, what happens next? In my experience at weddings I have been to as a guest, it gets cut up, put in a corner and most guests don’t even know it’s there.

I’d recommend making a moment for serving the cake as well as the ceremonial cutting. How about cake and cocktail time, or having the venue staff or caterers bring the cake round on platters. That means your guests will actually know it’s been served and it will get eaten!

You might be thinking, well this is a lot to take in, just for planning the cake. Agreed. Weddings do take a lot of planning, but I’m giving you this advice from personal experiences I have had along with speaking to other in the industry. If a wedding cake is the biggest and most extravagant cake you’re ever going to have, make sure it gets eaten. That’s what it’s for at the end of the day.

If you want more wedding cake and wedding planning tips and advice you can read my other blog posts here. Or if you’ve got something to add or you have a question, get in touch!

"Give your cake away as a wedding favour" - Ways to avoid your wedding cake going to waste

This is something that used to be a lot more popular when wedding cakes were fruit cake. You can favour boxes for your guests to take cake away in and it’ll keep until the next day sliced up in the box so it could work as the perfect hangover cure for them the morning after! Just instruct your venue or caterers that this is what you’d like to do with the cake.

"Serve your wedding cake as a dessert" - Ways to avoid your wedding cake going to waste

Depending on the set up at your venue and whether or not you have to book caterers who provide a three-course meal, you could opt to have your wedding cake served as dessert. This is simpler if you are bringing in caterers that provide only one course, or if you’re having more relaxed dining in the form of platters, street food vendors or similar.

Your cake could be served with cream and berries in the summer or custard as a winter warmer. You could simply serve it on platters as a dessert buffet so guests can help themselves.

"Go for fake tiers" -Ways to avoid your wedding cake going to waste

If you want a big, tall cake and don’t like waste, you can always go for fake tiers. They’ll add height and wow- factor to your cake while not giving you too many portions that’ll potentially be left over at the end of the day.

Be aware with fake tiers though, the cost of these isn’t necessarily much lower than that of real cake tiers. It all depends on what decoration you go for on the outside of your cake design.

Ways to avoid your wedding cake going to waste

Your wedding cake may well be the biggest cake you have in your life. And while wedding cakes are made to serve a certain number of guests a wedding is usually a day that involves a certain amount of overindulgence. And why not?!

My reason for writing this post, though is to highlight the fact that, while I am usually not present at weddings when the cake is actually served, other wedding suppliers have to told me that, in general, the number of cakes that end up getting wasted is pretty scary!

Of course, from a cake maker’s perspective, I want to encourage the tradition of having a wedding cake as part of your big day, but I also want to make future couples aware of the sad fact that cake can end up being wasted… I know! Of course, this means a huge waste of money, and from an environmental point of view, a huge waste of food.

Food waste is something that I simply can’t stand. So, as part of my values for Malarkey Cakes, I always advise my couples in the best way possible how to get the most out of their wedding cake.
