Cute Ideas to Reflect the Winter Season in Your Wedding Cake
Picking out your wedding cake can be one of the most enjoyable experiences that you have. If you have a great baker
that can do anything your heart desires then you will have free range to be as creative as possible. If you are
planning a winter wedding then there are many cute ideas to reflect the winter season in your wedding cake that you
may want to consider.
The first thing that you will have to decide on when choosing a wedding cake is what the filling that you want will
be. Are you set on chocolate or do you want to go with traditional vanilla? Do you want to think outside of the box
and do banana bread filling or a black forest cake? Think about the flavors of the season. If you wanted you could
have an apple flavor added to either the cake itself or the filling between the layers. If you have a crowd that is
sort of mixed then you may want to have a several tiered cake with different flavors for each layer.
Once you pick the insides of your cake it is time to get really creative and choose the way the cake will look.
Some cute ideas to reflect the winter season in your cake would be to have snowflakes, candy canes, falling stars
or winter flowers on the icing. If you have a great baker then you may want to talk to them about wrapping the cake
in blue fondant and creating a winter wonderland ice skating pond with the bride and the groom at the top. You may
also decide to put your cake up on tiers and have a bit of marzipan holly wrap its way up the cake and when it gets
to the top it has created your new monogram with its vines.
There are many places to go to get inspiration for cute ideas to reflect the winter season in your wedding cake.
There is usually a spread in any bridal magazine that you pick up that will talk about cakes and holiday cake
ideas. You could also take visit to your local bookstore and see if there are any wedding cake books in the
reference section. To think a bit more outside the box you should also visit the cooking and decorating section of
your local bookstore. You may find the perfect cake in a home and garden style book about winter that had nothing
to do with weddings, but with a few extra layers would be the cake of your dreams.
Cute ideas to reflect the winter season in your wedding cake would be to not have a cake at all. Think back on
holiday’s past and remember what it was like when your Grandmother laid out a myriad of pies on the dining room
table after Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner. You could have a confections table at your wedding where there was an
assorted variety of winter pies waiting for your guests for desert. You could have a very formal dinner where
everyone is seated and served but then for desert everyone gets to head up buffet style and choose his or her own
tasty sweet.
Instead of a cake you might also think about doing cupcakes at your winter wedding reception. The cupcakes could
have little snowflakes falling on top of their icing. The baker could set up all the cupcakes so that they looked
like mini presents waiting for everyone to enjoy them. You could also set up a different desert on every table as
the centerpiece. By doing this people would get their own little treat and it would encourage them to visit other
tables to see what they think that they would enjoy.
