It's A Spring Thing
| Q | We're having a spring wedding and would love to incorporate the season into our cake. Do you have any ideas? |
| A | Michelle Arellano says: The overall wedding theme influences the design of a wedding cake; this can be achieved by incorporating spring elements like flowers, spring colours and uplifting flavours. Here are some suggestions to incorporate the season into you big-day bake: •For a bohemian wedding, embrace spring colours like pastel pinks, blues and greens decorated with cascading edible flowers such as pansies, viola or lavender. •A classic wedding calls for delicate spring flowers in pastel shades, such as roses, peonies, and cherry blossoms. Choose a colour palette inspired by spring, featuring soft pastels or shades of green and ivory. •Glamorous weddings can feature spring blooms such as peonies, hydrangeas or orchids. Incorporate metallic accents like gold or silver leaf, edible pearls or crystal embellishments for added glamour. •Modern weddings feature minimalist designs with clean lines and simple shapes. Consider delicate cherry blossom branches, symbolising the ephemeral beauty of spring blooms. Use a contemporary colour palette like blush pink, sage green or sky blue. •For rustic weddings, decorate with rustic spring blooms such as silk wildflowers, daisies or sunflowers arranged organically. Choose a semi-naked or textured buttercream finish for a rustic touch. •For a vintage wedding, consider delicate flowers, lace details and pearl embellishments. Use a soft colour palette reminiscent of spring, such as blush pink, lavender or mint green. There are a few flavours to consider for a spring theme. Lemon and elderflower offer a refreshing citrus flavour with delicate floral notes, perfect for celebrating the freshness of spring. Raspberry and white chocolate are luxuriously decadent and vibrant, evoking the abundance of fresh fruits typical of springtime. Lemon and blueberry are a classic pairing with a harmonious balance of sweet and tart flavours. These ideas will bring the beauty and freshness of spring into your wedding cake, creating a captivating centrepiece for your special day. |
