South Africa Wedding Cakes

Wedding cakes come in just about any imaginable color combination. Tastes, ingredients, and themes can all be incorporated to make the perfect cake for the perfect day. Beach weddings can have cakes with sea shells made of white chocolate. If the brides' gown is a lovely lace that Grandmother wore, a good cake artist can recreate the lace onto the cake. 

A beautiful cake will be remembered fondly, but a beautiful cake that was also delicious will have guests talking for years. Raspberries with homemade whipped cream, orange dream filling, different ganache and nut combinations- just dream up a flavor and your cake will fulfill your fantasy. If you don't feel creative enough to find your own flavors, a wedding cake artist will have a sample tasting for you. You can choose from several flavors. You can even choose different flavors for different layers. Liquors are also added for great flavors like champagne dark chocolate, Kahlua and Pina Colada. Most bakers will have a standard list of cake flavors, cake fillings and frosting flavors. Mix and match for whatever you like. 

Today's wedding cakes can have all kinds of elegant and elaborate additions to make them pop. Candles, floating tiers, live flowers, water fountains and more all add to the ambiance of your perfect day. Frostings and fondants can be draped like satin, ruffled, smoothed or made into mounds of edible flowers. Spun sugar art can be made into wedding tiaras or angel wings. The words of your vows can be stenciled onto your cake. Edible fresh flowers dipped in sugar, exotic fruits and fresh vanilla beans can be used in the cake filling or on top of the cake to add to the celebration for your senses.
