Perhaps you have been planning your dream wedding from a young age and have always envisaged your cake to be traditional. You've pictured yourself cutting into the first slice of a large, multi tiered, white fondant cascade of cake beauty surrounded by roses. Or perhaps that image doesn't resonate with you at all and you're imagining something completely different - unique even.
There are so many options for your wedding and you can make the wedding cake as big or small a feature as you wish.
Common alternatives to the traditional wedding cake include chocolate cakes, tiered cupcakes, cheese cakes or even a croquembouche.
