What Goes Into A Traditional Wedding Cake?
In the UN, a traditional wedding cake is tiered and made from a rich fruitcake, which is beautifully decorated with fondant icing and perhaps filled with almond paste. However, not every couple chooses to follow this tradition! You can opt for your favourite flavours, whether it be a chocolate biscuit cake or a soft and sweet red velvet. Some couples even opt out of having a wedding cake, instead offering guests individual cupcakes or a doughnut wall. You can look through the bakery companies listed on Hitched and see what kind of options they offer.
