Fall Wedding Cakes. Summer is traditionally dubbed as the
wedding season. Good weather and the abundance of flowers would
lend festiveness to a summer garden wedding. However, if you
have opted for a fall wedding, you can make this occasion
beautifully distinct with a lot of fall wedding ideas. One of
the must haves in a wedding is a wedding cake. Below are
several fall themed wedding cakes you can adapt to make wonderful, one of a kind
fall wedding cakes.
Naturally, you can serve any kind of cake
but wouldn’t it be nice to break away from the traditional
chiffon cake with white frosting? You can serve a cream cheese
frosted pumpkin cake or a blackberry filled spice cake made
yummier if you frost it with cream cheese. The lemon frosting
on the almond lemon cake will surely remind the guest that they
are attending a fall wedding. And once they take a bite of the
lemon filling, they would be glad to have braved the foul
weather just to attend your wedding.
Seasonal Colors
The burnt orange, the reds, the yellow
and the browns are all colors of the falling leaves…colors that
symbolizes fall. Use these colors to design your fall wedding
cake. But be sparing in using these colors. You don’t want your
cake to be a distasteful kaleidoscope. You can pipe in an
orange or a yellow frosting around the ivory colored butter
cream cake. Or you can decorate the cake with fall colored gum
paste maple leaves.

Autumn Blooms
Fall means an abundance of dahlias and
sunflowers. Use these fall flowers for your bouquet. It is a
novel idea to use these flower as the decoration for your cake
too. Instead of the traditional roses and orchids, you can ask
the baker to decorate your cake with dahlias made of sugar.
Skilled bakers can paint the cakes with lifelike flowers using
edible dyes. Wouldn’t it be great if miniature flowers like the
ones in your bouquet will be painted on your
cake?
Shapes and
Add-ons
Gum paste maple leaves, chocolate or
sugar acorns when used to decorate a cake will certainly show
that the cake is for a fall wedding. But to break away from the
predictable colorful symbols of fall, you may want to have a
chocolate wedding cake. Use chocolate molded leaves and acorns
as cake decorations. This would have a more distinct effect,
one that would make your cake stylish.
Choose Sides
Your chosen fall wedding cake may reflect
the season or you may have chosen a traditional one, but either
way you can still choose a side to be served with your cake. A
pumpkin ice cream, caramel candies on tiny beautifully crafted
wicker baskets or a slice of poached pears on each plate would
replicate the season.
