Bring the warmth and light of Christmas to a wedding and create an unforgettable experience. The season of family and merriment is a happy backdrop for nuptials, offering a lovely range of style from the casual to the grand. Whether you take advantage of the holiday colors or pay tribute to the wintry scene outdoors with blues and frosty whites, there is no better showcase for mood than in the reception's piece de resistance: the cake.
Merry and Bright: Designs in Red and White
Acclaimed cake designer to the stars Ron Ben-Israel has dreamed up a classic red and white cake, which translates into the season beautifully. A round cake with layers of smooth white adorned with icing in looping gold chains, ribbons, and a pretty fall of red petals, rises to a crown of red roses. Aptly named, "Simply Chic," the cake celebrates the season's colors tastefully. For a more literal translation, the rose topper could be supplanted by holly.
Promising to bring out the best of the season, Buddy Valastro of Carlo's Bakery has produced a "Christmas Cake." This square-layered cake with burgundy ribbons has sugar-paste holly bundles on each tier. The topper? A bouquet of poinsettias. The cake celebrates the more homelike and family-oriented aspect of the holiday.
Ice and Snow: Designs in Winter White
Celebrated baker Colette Foley offers up her version of the season with a nod to snowflakes in her "Winter White" cake. The fondant on the circle tiers is cut with a diamond-shaped pattern and detailed with glimmering appliques, which recall snowflakes. This versatile cake design can be called upon for lighthearted weddings, as well as the more formal events.
Buddy Valastro of Carlo's Bakery offers a design called "Frosted Flakes," whose round layers are embellished with glittering snowflakes and pearl necklaces. To top it all off, this creation is presented as a gift with pearlescent ribbons gathered at the highest tier.
Flora and Fauna: Designs in Blue and Silver
The duo behind Cakegirls, Brenda and Mary Maher, have brought the fairy tale into winter with a cool periwinkle three-tiered round cake, trimmed in silver scrolls and brought to life with woodland scenes. A silver doe and buck made of sugar paste graze the top layer while, on the first layer, a glittering forest floor shoots up fantastical mushrooms and flowers.
The Season of Giving: Designs in Wrap and Ribbon
To pay tribute to the true spirit of Christmas, look at the cakes that appear in gift-wrapped splendor, such as Polly Schoonmaker's "Lemon Twist" cake, which features lemony yellow gifts in twisting tiers, dotted over with flowers and pearl-gold ribbons.
