Halloween Wedding Cake
Wedding cakes are no longer just a white tiered cake at the center of attention at the wedding reception. With the use of fondant and modern cake decorating techniques, brides and grooms can have a cake created in any shape or form to further demonstrate their unique personalities.
Today, many weddings occur on Halloween and for that reason many cake decorators are being asked to create a Halloween wedding cake for couples to celebrate this special occasion.
A Halloween wedding cake takes into consideration not only the day the couple are getting married, but also the couple themselves. One idea for Halloween wedding cakes is to play off of the characters and coloring of the movie, “The Corpse Bride.” There is even a cake topper features for the couple from that movie that is quite popular.
Halloween wedding cakes are usually a closely layered, skewed cake that is covered with fondant. One of the most popular colors for the wedding cake is in the light blue, silver or purple. This skewed design will give the cake a topsy turvy look that lends itself well to a Halloween wedding cake.
Couples who want a more traditional looking wedding cake with the Halloween theme may decide for a traditional layered cake in darker colors. A blue and silver layered cake can accent the colors of the wedding and allow for a Halloween theme.
Dark scrollwork can be added to the cake and in some cases even intricate spider webs can be piped onto to the cake to give an elegant, yet slightly spooky feel to the cake. For the cake topper, you can simply look for the bride and groom from the movie mentioned above or choose from the many other available Halloween wedding cake toppers.
A Halloween wedding cake does not have to be cartoon like, but can take on some of the colorings and attributes of the season. A simple tiered cake with black and orange accents can give the guests the feel of Halloween without being over the top. Black Ribbons on a white cake with simple orange and black circles adorning the cake can give you an elegant feel to the cake while staying within the Halloween theme.
Many people are looking for over the top designs for their wedding cakes. Weddings are no longer the stoic white affairs that they once were. Many people are having theme weddings that play into the Halloween wedding cake design. Because of this many Halloween wedding cakes can be over the top with their designs. Ideas include headstones and mini cemeteries are not uncommon in Halloween wedding cake designs. Intricate scrollwork can be created resembling bones surrounding the cakes. With modern techniques anything is possible when designing a wedding cake.
A Halloween wedding cake can be as whimsical or elegant as the couple getting married. When choosing the right Halloween themed wedding cake you need to talk closely with your cake designer to ensure you get the final product that you want.
While certainly not the right choice for every couple, these cakes are growing in popularity and the designs are sure to become more intricate and numerous as more couples choose to order a Halloween wedding cake.
