Country wedding cake ideas

It's interesting:
"I am quite sure that Linda will want to improve Paul a little because that's what wives do. Above all else I hope she'll teach him to entertain in this style and continue this fine hosting tradition."

Wedding cakes should complement and accent the entire wedding theme, and it's no different with a country wedding. Cakes can be as detailed and elaborate or simple as you wish. The type of country wedding you're having determines the kind of country wedding cake you should serve.

Does this Spark an idea?

1. Hoe Down County Fair Country Weddings

   • Weddings with a county fair or hoe down theme can result in a fun and light-hearted wedding cake. Rectangle cakes can be stacked diagonally on top of each other and decorated to resemble bales of hay with a simple cowboy hat or bride and groom in western wear on top. The cake can also be decorated to resemble a wheat field with a little bride and groom "walking" through it on top. Another idea is to fashion the cake like a horse corral with the topper being a bride that has lassoed the groom. Cow designs or other animals work well for humorous country weddings, too. Horseshoes are another superb idea which can be dressed up or down, depending on how casual the wedding is. There are also cake toppers which feature a cowboy hat atop bales of hay, with a lasso at a hitching post with a "Gettin' Hitched" sign.

   Country Garden Weddings

   • Although many people think of cowboys and western themes when hearing of a country wedding, there are also country weddings themed after country gardens. The country offers many beautiful wildflowers that can be used for inspiration for a multi-colored, soft and romantic wedding theme. Decorate the cake with silk or sugar paste sunflowers. Ivy and other greenery can drape down the tiers of a multi-layered cake with wild flowers or roses tucked in. Use a pretty light green earthy tone to cover a three-tiered cake, then decorate the bottom layer with thin brown "twigs" of different heights and add light pink sugar paste flowers and butterflies. The cake can be topped with an elegant bride and groom sitting on a park bench, or the groom presenting flowers to the bride.

   Formal Country Western Weddings

   • Country western wedding cakes can include the use of cowboy boots, cowboy hats or big western belt buckles created in a fancy manner. A multi-tiered cake can be iced in a leather-like brown color with elaborate details around the cake, like a good leather belt including the buckle. Top the cake off with a bride and groom wearing cowboy hats. The bride and groom can also be placed in front of a heart-shaped lasso or horseshoe. Another idea is a classic, formal cake topped with flowers and a bride and groom in an open horse-drawn carriage.
