Looking At A Tropical Wedding Cake Makes You Almost Feel The Warm Breezes

A tropical wedding cake can take on many looks. You can use many different aspects of the tropics to carry out the theme of your wedding. One of these could be just using bright colored tropical flowers. Orchids, lilies, bird of paradise and anthurium make wonderful bouquets and table arrangements. You can then take these same flowers and work them into the cake. The cake should be decorated with a simple design. In this way, the flowers will stand out more.

Another aspect of the tropics is Palm trees. These can be put on the sides of the tiers of cake in groups. Putting one or two groups of palms on each tier, placing them so they look balanced, makes a very striking cake. It surely conveys that this is a tropical themed wedding cake.

To add another idea of the tropics is sand and sea shells. For sand, you can either put sandpaper on the table under the cake, or frost the cake in ivory to give the illusion of sand. The seashells can be very easily drawn on the cake with frosting. Usually, the shells are of the same color as the frosting on the cake. This still gives the cake the tropical theme, and looks elegant at the same time. Adding some tropical flowers around the cake gives it the finishing touch.

A tropical theme wedding is a little on the casual side. The tropical wedding cake should not be too elaborately decorated. You want it to be simple, so all the tropical decorations stand out. There are many cake toppers that fit in with this theme. Just look on the web, and you’ll find many to choose from. The topper you choose just may dictate on how exactly you’ll have the cake decorated. After all, you want things to go together.

As you can see in this picture, this cake has a simple scallop design with a crown border. A few frosting flowers were used in between the tiers and on the sides. The bright colored tropical flowers on top and in front says it all. You can immediately tell this is a tropical wedding cake.

If you are one that cannot visualize a cake and need to look at a picture, you should get a wedding cake e-book. Looking at all the pictures can give you many ideas that you wouldn’t have thought of yourself. You can incorporate many things into a tropical wedding cake.
