- Wedding trends are changing every year and cake designs are no exception.
- The cake always takes the spotlight at any wedding, from Princess Diana’s five foot (152cm) long cake that was adorned with marzipan Windsor coats of arms, to unique icing patterns and embroidery, and a bride who created a life sized edible cake that was a replica of herself.
- While the method of making cakes has changed over the years as most couples do opt to save money and rather get a cake that is made out of Styrofoam, one thing remains the same and that is the creativity that goes into cake making.
