Your North West Wedding- August/September 2020 (Issue 63)

“Dark colours have become popular over the last few years. If you’re unsure about having a block of colour, marbling can be the best of both worlds. It incorporates your chosen hue while keeping the tone light and trendy.” – Whitney from The Black Rod Cake Company. “A small detail that’s often overlooked is the cake stand. Some venues have one you can borrow, but others won’t. A good cake maker will always ask the question, as they don’t want your dream bake being displayed on a less than perfect stand. I offer a range of stands that are available for hire on your big day.” – Lindsey from Lindsey Alexandra Cake Design. “Use a white background to allow bright colours to pop.” – James from Union Cakes. Geode cakes are ideal for couples looking for a standout piece that will leave their guests fascinated. The effect can be achieved using a variety of colours, shapes and tiers. www.cake sbyp.com and www.taylarjaydephotography.com www.lind seyalexandra.co.uk “Think about how you’re going to showcase your cake to take it to the next level. You could opt for a bespoke cake stand or even a swing! Speak to your supplier to discuss your ideas, and they will help you come to a decision.” – Paula from Cakes by P. “If you’re breaking the rules and ditching traditional white, do it in style with dazzling, vivid colours for a daring and dramatic display.” – Suzanne from The Frostery.
