Wedding cakes have evolved in a variety of ways over the last few years, and it’s safe to say that some of the creations popping up around the web are a world away from the traditional white iced three-five tier sweets from our family photo albums. From cupcakes and donuts to cheesecake wheels and pancake stacks, the boat (there’s boats too) has well and truly been pushed out when it comes to alternative takes on the tradition. But while we love the many unique and mouthwatering desserts we’ve spotted around lately, for us there’s really no beating a beautiful, classic – and of course delicious – wedding cake.
Irish-based bakers are currently doing some incredible work with wedding cakes, keeping with the classic and traditional form but making it distinctly modern with intricate, elegant and exciting embellishments – and we haven’t even hit on what’s going on on the inside yet! Lemon and ginger, coconut and lime, raspberry and white chocolate, red velvet, and Espresso coffee chocolate are but a few current filling favourites couples are opting for for their sweet, with many more tasty flavours being experimented with by innovative bakers.
Ruffles, lace, pearl piping, gold leaf, naked cakes, funfetti and the most beautiful sugar flowers make up some of our favourite design features, all of which are executed expertly by some of the top wedding cake makers in the country! So without further adieu, we present some of our favourite wedding cakes – all made right here in Ireland – below to inspire you for your own showstopper of a sweet.
