100 Ideas: Cakes

16 Make It Dazzling
Want to take your cake from ordinary to extraordinary? One hot trend is to adorn your wedding cake with edible glitz: hand-painted and sugared stripes, pearl-and-gold beads, and other 
delectable accents.

17 Tasteful Twist
Break away from vanilla and surprise your guests with a nontraditional flavored cake. What about Cookies ‘N Cream, Bananas Foster, or Chai Spice? Custom cake creator Marie Porter of Celebration Generation says, “Most brides are shocked to find they can have a flavorful and unique wedding cake underneath even the most traditional of styles.” What about finicky guests? “Usually brides pick two to four flavors to serve.” Imagine one layer of Tiramisu-flavored cake, another with Southern Belle (amaretto, Southern Comfort, and peaches), and then a layer of double chocolate marble or turtle for the more traditional palate.
