I had one this year where the groom asked for his bride’s dogs to be added as a highlight on the wedding cake as a surprise for the bride on the day. It was lovely seeing the photographs after, which were very poignant. Having said this every cake is special and memorable whether it is to serve a small intimate wedding or a very lavish extravagant wedding.
Remember it is your wedding!
I love when the couples decorate the venue themselves as they always add touches that are very personal to themselves and their guests. Most memorable must be some of the gifts for the children with a recent wedding have very soft squishy ducks - they just raised a smile and were just calling out to be cuddled!
Recently the double sided cake has become more popular and this year I did one where the front was all soft and romantic with flowers and the other side was a Dalek! Another double sided cake was with the back featuring the Coliseum in Rome. Placement of the cake in the venue is extra important so that all your guests can see both sides.
