What is everyones wedding cake going to look like? What kind of wedding topper / accessories are you having?

A lady called Rachel Edwards is making me mine. I found the picture in a magazine and sent it to her. It's 3 tier, square, all the tiers join in together if you get me. It's cream/ivory colour and has iced flowers all down one side. The bottom tier is fruit, the middle victoria sponge and the top lemon sponge.
Not having anything on the top like a bride and groom figure, personally I don't like them.

We're having a square chocolate cake with scrolls all around the edge, from this lady:
http://www.tscakes.co.uk/gallery.htm (have a look at the chocolate gallery - fabulous cakes!!). She's lovely too, and her cake is just gorgeous!!

Cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im going to have three different cakes, Ill be getting a 3 tier stand off ebay and my nan is making a chocolate sponge cake and a fruit cake and my friend is gonna make a lemon sponge, i like nice simple things and didnt want to be spending a fortune on stuff like the cake so i could spend more on the honeymoon and whatnot

Ther's some lovely designs on this site: crumbs-cakes (with the w in front and couk at end) We really like the Blk & wht ones. Don't forget your dots int the right places too.

I'm going for a cupcake tower, there are some very good ones on this forum esp the ones by Vikj.

cupcake towers look amazing, I like www.fancie.co.uk as well the designs are incredible

we had a cake that looked all grown up from a distance, but when you got close you could see the beagle on the top, and the easter bunnies dotted around the base of the lower tiers

thanks looby lou :)

the best bit was, some people who were actually there didn't see the beagle on the top until they got their photo's back!

That's lovely, Strix. :)

Not sure what our design is going to be yet but i do know the colours will be white/black/Pink....:)

ah the bunnies are so cute!

ah the bunnies are so cute!
They were a bit :)

Subtle aren't they? :love:

I'm having a round 3 tier with some embossing on but I'm a bit worried that I've gone off the idea of the design lol, I did choose snowflakes in gold and silver colours but I'm scared its going to look a bit 'busy' as I want a set of those personalised cake toppers on, and the colours wont match

I had 2 octagonal tiers, one of fruit cake, the other a really scrummy chocolate cake filled with a buttercream that's stable enough to be iced and stand in tiers and also had pieces of fresh strawberries and raspberries in (guess what I was doing the night before the wedding!) stood on top of each other. They were iced in plain white and tied up with a really big wire edged gold ribbon, like a big present.

I don't do frilly things and generally stay well clear of things that are ever described as 'cute' so all of the designs that I saw were just too busy. Since I had some wonderful recipes and my mum used to teach cake decoration I reckoned that paying someone else hundreds of pounds to do something that we could do perfectly well between the two of us was a bit of a waste.

That sounds delicious, I cant believe you made your own cake! Well done :)

Mine was a 3 tier cake a la Tesco.com & decorated by my mums best mate using artificial flowers that matched my bouquet, very simple yet looked stunning,

Have a look

That's a lovely cake :)

thank you Binty, the whole cake cost under £60 & that was including the stand!!

WOW!!! :wow:

We did the whole wedding on less than £3k!! inc church, photographer, function room hire, catering etc if you need any help on small budgets give me a shout!!

Rachel Edwards is making mine too. It is 3 layers but each layer is taller by about a half than normal so the cake looks tall and thin. She is iceing it all white with pretty swirls adn sparkles up the side. We are having a character creations topper on it (you send them a piccie of you and what you are wearing and they make little yous to go on the top.

Well i'm going all traditional and letting someone on here do my cake :o the one and only........THE_DADDY!!! :clap: :clap:

He's doing me a 3 tier cake in black/white/pink and i can have any design i want :D

Hi girls

if you are looking for a wedding cake for your wedding but you dont want a normal sponge or fruit cake, then my cousin makes unusual wedding cakes made from cheese

you can mix a layer of cheese with fruit cake, or you can have a cake made entirely of cheese. She can also wax it to match your colour scheme.

She does over 70 different types of cheese including unique blends like wensleydale with strawberries and cream, or wensleydale with baileys irish cream and fruit.

so if your interested in a unique twist on a traditional wedding cake then contact her and she can advise you of what she can do to help you.

I do think the cheese cakes are a fantastic idea! Probably just because I am actually addicted to cheese though:D

If I ever get married, it's got to be one of those cheese cakes. It's my favouritest food in the world:love:

Hi - not going to try and flog you one as i'm sure you're sorted...! I did this and did the snowflakes in pale gold - and you are right, I'm thinking in plain white would look amazing and no worries about your topper?

Thank you for the lovely comments : )

Have been asked to do some cakes for a mini wedding fayre at Freya off Eccy road on 18th September in the evening if anyone is around? Will be doing some mini cakes for general scoffing and am masterminding a lovely design for a large cake as we speak.....

We had a cupcake tower from Fancie, it was beautiful and very very yummy.

Was yours the butterfly one?
Fancie are making my wedding cupcakes too. We're having a cupcake mountain with a cutting cake for the top.
There are going to be mini cupcakes with green frosting for the trees and I'll be making some fimo figures for the topper although I'm going to have to have a few practice runs to get them right!

Just wanted to pop this on here, as on the other Bride to be sites i've been on they are very popular.

Ikea are doing a 3 tier cup/Fairy Cake stand in chrome and clear glass for £10.99

Sainsburys are doing a lovely 2 tier (I think it was) in Baby blue with pastel pokadots for £18.

But St.Lukes Hospice shop in Chapeltown today had 3 different oldie worldie Cake stands for cup/Fairy cake in Pottery and Chrome for £3.99 -£4.99. They also had a couple of Glass cut cake stand for a lerge cake for a few pounds each. So Charity shops are worth a definate look if you are having the very populaf Cup cakes etc or a Tea Party Theme.
