Whether you prefer sugar or fresh flowers, pretty blooms are the perfect accessory for your reception confection—and these 6 UNIQUE wedding cakes are all the proof you'll need.
While guests might forget your decorations of the mandapam or the color of the bridal costume, your friends and family will always remember what your wedding cake tasted and looked like.
The history of the wedding cakes, though, is even stranger than these modern rituals says - Tanya chacko( Founder - Purple haze, Chennai ). In ancient Rome, marriages were sealed when the groom smashed a barley cake over the bride’s head. (Luckily, tiaras were not fashionable then.) In medieval England, newlyweds smooched over a pile of buns, supposedly ensuring a prosperous future. Unmarried guests sometimes took home a little piece of cake to tuck under their pillow.
How did it enter India
Well, history says that once baputti mambally , who basically owned royal biscuit factory, started making cakes by the help of a British man Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown owned cinnamon plantations in India asked him to make a cake for him. He also shared the recipes. After that mamballys company started making some of the finest cakes in India.
Wedding cakes with flowers and greenery are undeniable show-stoppers and one of the most popular big day desserts—for good reason, we might add.
Flower wedding cakes don't just have their beautiful looks going for them. Florals can add vibrancy to an otherwise simple cake at a relatively low expense. It allows the couple to skip pricier decorative techniques—like fondant or hand-cut details—in favor of floral adornments says TANYA . And though sugar flowers cost more than fresh, the fake buds are still a cost-effective way to upgrade your wedding cake without bursting your budget. And the best part about going the faux-flower route is that the color and design options are endless.
Floral wedding cakes are so versatile that they can be adapted to fit almost any wedding theme. Go the rustic route with scattered buds and greenery at the cake's base. A confection with gold accents or intricate sugar flowers in between each layer befits a glamorous affair. A flower wedding cake with a scattering of flowers is perfect for south Indian receptions. And more couples are also getting creative with watercolor prints and unexpected color combinations.
To get you feeling inspired, we found 10 beautiful wedding cakes with flowers for you to peruse. With countless options, including hand-painted, cascading, and overloaded-floral styles, it's impossible not to find a delicious confection you absolutely love.
1 . MAHARAJA FRUIT CAKE
Surprise your guests with a gorgeous tower of fruits and cheese. In addition to garden-fresh flowers, this wedding cake is also decorated with a bounty of seasonal fruits. The whole cake will be coated in a “very sweet” Swiss butter cheese cream.
The fruitcake wedding cake tradition has a long history. Wedding parties in medieval England featured a pile of unsweetened buns, symbolizing prosperity in all forms. That evolved into a single dish called “Bride’s Pye” or “Bride Cake.” Before sugar hit the British Isles in the mid-1500s, these celebration dishes often combined seafood and offal in a bread-type crust — with plenty of spices to offset the off flavors.
Here in India, we decorate with exotic fruits, which gives ,more taste and aroma to the cake. Fruit cakes are one among the favoured ones in wedding reception confection.
