TIPS & TRICKS WITH TASHA
The wedding cake holds a prominent role on a couple's momentous day - from the captivating cake-cutting photos to the heartfelt compliments and the joy of sharing the exquisite creation with cherished guests.
As a skilled cake maker, I am well aware of the countless hours dedicated to crafting a wedding cake. I invest ample time conversing with my couples, meticulously understanding their desires for the cake and dessert table, and incorporating personal touches into the design.
However, it can be disheartening to arrive at the venue and find an ageing square table adorned with a plain white cloth, a lacklustre cake stand, and tucked away inconspicuously in a corner near a fire extinguisher.
Today, I am delighted to share some ideas on how to elevate your cake display, transforming it into an integral part of your unique wedding decor. With the addition of a few props and a captivating stand, you can truly take your cake table to new heights – from lavish plinths to mesmerising backdrops and resplendent floral displays, the options are limitless.
Exquisite Table Dressing
While we understand that budget considerations play a significant role in wedding planning, rest assured that creating a stunning cake table does not mean you have to break the bank. Allow me to present an example: one bride opted for delightful sugar cookies and delectable treats as table accents. Paired with a magnificent crystal cake stand and an elegant sash in the wedding colours cascading along the table's edge, the result was a breathtaking table of refined luxury.

Captivating Cake Stands and Hoops
One way to infuse drama and sophistication into your cake table is by using an exquisite cake stand or hoop. Most venue dressers offer these for rental at a nominal cost. Enhance their allure by adorning them with delicate blossoms, transforming them into ethereal masterpieces. An arrangement of candles and artfully arranged jars filled with fresh flowers will only add to the beauty.
MAKE IT BOLDER
For an awe-inspiring setup, consider incorporating a cake plinth swathed in an elegant black cloth. Add two sleek black stands—one to display the bride's bouquet and another adorned with charger candles and black candles for a touch of mystique.
Elevating Plinths
I MUST CONFESS, ACRYLIC ACCENTS HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART AS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PROPS. THE RANGE OF OPTIONS, FROM MAGNIFICENT PLINTHS TO RESPLENDENT FLORAL CROWNS, IS SIMPLY AWE-INSPIRING.

For those seeking the epitome of luxury, plinths offer an extraordinary touch to elevate your cake table (literally). They can be transformed into bespoke masterpieces, personalised with a meaningful quote and the cherished date of your wedding.
They also serve as striking solitary displays, showcasing your cake in all its splendour. Alternatively, these magnificent structures can be artfully grouped to exhibit an exquisite array of bouquets, cherished photographs, and flickering candles, creating a visual setup of dreams.
Exquisite Floral Crowns
Floral crowns are another prop option for your wedding cake. They offer cake makers the opportunity to work with exquisite blooms that may otherwise be surplus to requirements, brining a harmonious botanical elegance to the setup.
The Artistry of Backdrops and Floral Splendour
In the realm of opulent weddings, backdrops are key. These enchanting creations available in a range of shapes and sizes can capture attention quickly, whether you opt for a simple yet captivating board or the ethereal beauty of a pampas wall. While their acquisition may come at a premium, it is essential to envision them as not merely serving the cake alone but rather as an integral part of the whole wedding styling.
In Summary
I trust that the ideas I have shared will ignite your imagination, bringing your wedding vision to life. As a skilled cake maker I will not only make the cake of your dreams, but work with your venue stylist to create an incredible wedding cake table setup.
Wishing you a truly extraordinary wedding day,
