Along with the toast to the newlyweds and the bouquet toss, the wedding cake is one of the traditions that remains in force in marriages.

Autumn: Chocolate Drip Cake

Honey Bit!

In autumn the leaves fall from the trees, staining the landscapes in shades of brown. And if you add to that the fact that temperatures start to drop in this season, with the likelihood of rain, then a chocolate cake will be more than adequate. But not just any cake. Lean towards a drip cake, which is characterised by a drip-effect coating. That is to say, it gives the sensation that a viscous liquid, which can be chocolate ganache, caramel sauce, sugar glaze or some other type of cream, is dripping from the surface downwards.

You can choose your cake with one or two tiers-although one-tier cakes are more common-and decorate the top with cookies, wafers, cocoa bars, or macarons. And for the filling, some ideal fall flavors are chocolate-hazelnut, chocolate-coffee-truffle, and white chocolate-Oreo. While still elegant, the effect of sprinkles sliding down the cake gives it an irresistible, casual feel.

Winter: Ruffle red velvet

Sweet Cutie

Break away from the greyish winter atmosphere with a red and white wedding cake. Have you tried red velvet? It is a cake of American origin, aesthetically elegant and in demand for winter weddings. It is composed of vanilla sponge cake with red coloring, cocoa and cream cheese frosting, which are interspersed in the preparation. It is a very romantic cake for its intense reddish color and a velvety texture that is a delight. But if you want to give a touch of mystery to your wedding cake, a proposal is that the cover is ruffle style, that is, externally decorated with ruffles.Choose a round, single-tier cake to make it stand out more.

Spring: Watercolor Cake

Since spring is a time when colors abound, convey that joy through a watercolor or canvas cake as well. The concept responds to hand-painted pastels. The watercolor cakes are generally pastel-colored and cylindrical in shape, and may have one or more tiers, which will also influence other details that can be added. For example, if the cake has three tiers, they can incorporate natural flowers climbing in cascades. Or, they can placesome at the base and some at each step.

However, if the cake will be a single tier, then a very spring-like option would be to place large, vibrantly colored flowers on top, such as yellow, fuchsia or purple ranunculus or lilies. As for the flavor, go for a citrusy one like vanilla-lemon or vanilla-orange, or a sweet one with freshness, such as chocolate-mint.

Summer: Naked cake with fruits

Delicias Arequipa

The naked cake, which has been trending for several years, will be the most suitable for a summer wedding, whether rustic, urban, boho-chic or millennial. And the fact is that by leaving the layers of cake and filling uncovered, without having a cover, this style of cake wastes an air of freshness and casualness that will fit in beautifully with your summer bridal decorations. .

Which flavors to choose? Go for soft and refreshing combinations, suitable for high temperatures. Choose, for example, a moist carrot, walnut and vanilla sponge cake; an exquisite cake with red fruit jam and Chantilly cream; or a tropical naked cake with vanilla and passion fruit mouse. Depending on the flavor you choose, you can decorate the top with pieces or slices of passion fruit, pineapple or pineapple,kiwi, strawberry, mango, apricot and other juicy seasonal fruits will look great!

While some are seduced by the incredible designs of marbled, geode or brushstroke cakes, other couples combine an attractive design with seasonal flavors. If you go for the latter option, you will get beautiful photos and your guests will be happy.
