Lighthouse Wedding Cakes
Lighthouse wedding cakes are unique and beautiful cakes that are perfect for certain types of weddings.
The obvious times that a lighthouse wedding cake would fit well would be a beach wedding. This type of cake is a great choice for a beach wedding that your guests are not likely to forget.
If your wedding is to be held in a location that includes a certain well-known lighthouse, that makes the choice of a lighthouse wedding cake even more perfect. Most bakers will be able to create a cake that looks just like a specific lighthouse.
Beach weddings are not the only time that a lighthouse wedding cake may be appropriate. Here are a few other examples of when this type of cake may be a good choice.
One bride grew up near a very famous lighthouse in North Carolina. To her, this lighthouse was a symbol of her childhood. Even though she did not choose to have a beach wedding, she had a lighthouse wedding cake created in order to pay homage to that important part of her childhood.
Since her wedding was an elegant affair, she instructed the baker to make the cake look elegant rather than whimsical. The baker accomplished this by using slightly muted colors and including a base surrounded by candles on which the cake sat.
If you are getting married in a tropical location, even if the wedding itself does not take place on the beach, a lighthouse wedding cake may appropriate. You can have the cake made to fit the style of your wedding be it casual or elegant.
Some brides would like to include a lighthouse wedding cake in their special day, but cannot find a way to do so that seems fitting. In those cases, a groom’s cake shaped as a lighthouse is the perfect answer.
Because there really are no rules surrounding groom’s cakes as far as them having to match the feel of the rest of the wedding, you are free to choose any design you’d like.
One bride was not having a beach wedding and had no real ties to a specific lighthouse, but she collected them and really wanted to include them in her wedding. She chose to use the groom’s cake option and had the cake created with the theme that the groom was the light of her life.
This cake was memorable and appropriate, even at this elegant, evening wedding.
Lighthouse wedding cakes can be fashioned for wedding of any size as they are easy to scale up or down in size. They can be placed on a base that is made to look like the shore or can be freestanding.
If cost is an issue, consider having the lighthouse wedding cake made in a smaller size and then order separate sheet cakes so that you’ll have enough cake for all of your guests.
Whatever lighthouse wedding cake design you choose, it is likely to be one of the most memorable wedding cakes that many of your guests have ever seen.
