Christmas Wedding Cake Ideas

December 21st, 2009 | Author: DessertLover

Give your wedding cake a seasonal flair with some of these tips and be sure to use the photos below for inspiration. They were some of my favorite Christmas Wedding Cakes that I found on Flickr.

When it comes to selecting a flavor for your wedding cake, try something different that ties in with the season. A spice cake with rich caramel frosting or a delectable red velvet cake with buttercream frosting are great choices for the Christmas season. If you do decide to go with white, you could consider adding a layer of raspberry, strawberry, or even cranberry preserves inside the cake.

The cake icing/fondant color and floral decor should coordinate with your wedding. In this post, I’ve focused on a red, green, and white color scheme (see a post later in the week for a icy blue wedding cake inspiration). Gum paste poinsettia flowers that cascade down the cake layers are a lovely choice for a Christmas wedding. Or red sugarberries along with modeling chocolate or sugar holly leaves can also look fantastic. For more casual weddings, consider gift box-shaped cakes that are decorated to look like presents beneath the Christmas tree.

Finally, you can also decorate the cake table with winter greenery such as red berry covered branches, pine branches, and pine cones for a stunning presentation of your beautiful wedding cake.
