Country Wedding Cakes

-- Country Wedding Cakes --

Planning a country wedding is all about the details – and when it comes to country inspired wedding cakes, there is so much from which to choose. Get hitched in style by adding western styling to your wedding cake.

Start by seeking inspiration. There are lots of photos on the Internet and in magazines, and your baker will be able to lead you in the right direction. As with any theme, you can take a “country” theme as far as you’d like – from a completely western cake with a lasso and boot theme, to an elegant cake with the slightest hint of rustic detailing.

Country Colors

If you’ve already decided on the colors for your wedding, you’ll want to include them in your wedding cake, unless you are opting for a traditional all white creation. Still trying to figure out your color scheme? Indigo, chocolate brown, and cream are all charming colors that can add to a country wedding. Find inspiration in items like sunflowers, horseshoes, and traditional patterns like gingham. Color combinations like rich yellow and brown, red and white, blue and brown or green and orange all work fabulous with a country wedding. Touches of bronze or gold can add a slightly more modern and contemporary edge to your country wedding cake.

Country Cake

Decorate your country wedding cake with natural elements for a warm, down-home feel. Sunflowers make the perfect finishing touch to any cake! For a more modern country cake, use ribbon in gingham or a solid color such as rust, red, or forest green. Your baker can use icing in creative ways to recreate beautiful borders.

A Country Topper

Add some humor to your cake by adding a comical cake topper, such as a woman lassoing her new husband.

For a more elegant affair, a traditional dancing couple is the perfect topper – especially if the couple has some country styling, such as the man wearing a cowboy hat! If you don’t love the idea of a traditional couple, add some modern country flair to your cake by topping it with a country flair western wedding cake topper – a resin heart accented with rope and cowboy hats!

Country Wedding Cake Table

Your cake display table can add a sense of style to any cake – even if you’ve opted for a plain and simple cake you can add interest with the presentation. Use real fresh flowers or petals to decorate the table. Rope can be used as a border around the table, and small candles will add a beautiful shimmer. For extra country flair, a wagon wheel might be on display near the cake, or the cake table might feature a beautiful tablecloth with an oil light flickering.

Flavors for Country Wedding Cakes

Infuse your cake with the taste of the country! Harvest flavors such as a warm carrot cake, or an apple cake are the perfect additions. Spices like nutmeg will add a familiar taste to your cake, adding a certain sense of sentiment to your cake. Unexpected flavors like dark chocolate and pumpkin will add a fashionable twist to your cake.
