When we think of a wedding cake, many of us will imagine the traditional style - a tiered fruitcake wedding cake with white icing and perhaps some delicate fresh or sugar flowers. While this traditional style wedding cake remains popular, there are plenty of others to choose from. The contemporary version of a traditional wedding cake might feature coloured icing and detailed sugar decoration to fit the colour scheme and style of the wedding.

Of course, there are wonderful alternatives to the tiered wedding cake. A Fairy cake wedding cake is increasingly popular and means that you can give each guest their own individual cake. You might even decide to ice names on each cake and use them as place cards! Likewise, the croquembouche (a fabulous French creation of choux pastry balls filled with cream and decorated with spun sugar) makes a great alternative to a wedding cake and a fantastic dessert, as does a tower of miniature meringues.

When making your choice, always consider the style of your wedding. A traditional, grand stately home venue is just the place to see a wonderful white wedding cake, while a country barn could be the ideal setting for a pretty fairy cake wedding cake decorated with sugar flowers. Also, consider what your guests will enjoy eating. A rich, heavy chocolate wedding cake would be wonderful in the winter, while a lighter sponge wedding cake might be more suited for summer.
