Mad Hatter Wedding Cake Offers a Whimsical Surprise
Wedding cakes have come a long way, due in large part to the new techniques cake decorators are able to use to make awe inspiring creations with fondant and sugar molding.
When deciding on your wedding cake you do not have to have the traditional white, tiered wedding cake with flowers. Let your inner child show when picking the design for your wedding cake. Get a design out of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and have your decorator make a Mad Hatter wedding cake for your reception.
Mad Hatter wedding cakes will give you the opportunity to use your imagination and inject some whimsy into your wedding reception. With this type of cake, you can use any colors you can imagine. The one thing that is consistent with a Mad Hatter wedding cake is the skewed and closely layered look, which gives a slightly tilted effect to the wedding cake.
These layers are then covered in fondant, usually white or off white, and then topped with colorful fondant and sugar shapes to make it look like it came off the table of the tea party in the famous children’s story.
When designing a Mad Hatter wedding cake you can let you imagination run free and create a design which will take into account the personality of the bride and groom and add to the festivities of the wedding reception.
Some of the more common designs used for Mad Hatter wedding cakes are colorful stripes and diamonds in linear patterns on the sides and top of the cakes. Bright reds, oranges and yellows are used frequently. However any color combinations can be used in the design of the wedding cake.
If you have a more elegant styling to your wedding but still want to let your inner child shine, have a Mad Hatter wedding cake designed in shades of gold and silver with flowers and balls adorning the cake. You may even want to consider incorporating some sugar creations of the flowers in the wedding to adorn the cake.
The topsy turvy nature of the Mad Hatter wedding cake will add whimsy to your reception, and depending on the coloring of the decorations used, you will be able to make the cake as elegant or fun as you want.
Consider adding fruit creations to the cake which can give the guests a hint as to the flavor of the cake and add colorful, natural decorations to the cake.
Another idea that can be used in the design of the Mad Hatter wedding cake comes directly from the novel. Use heart shapes on the tiers of the cake to symbolize not only the love of the couple, but the relationship between the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts.
The beauty of the Mad Hatter cake design is that since the only part of the cake that remains the same is the shape, you can have as many layers and use as many colors as your heart desires.
Keep your wedding cake beautiful and add a touch of flair to your wedding reception with the inclusion of a Mad Hatter wedding cake.
