Beach Wedding Cakes

It is summer time, the heat of the sun being in control over the beach warming up the sand with its sparkling little pieces of shells belonging there for ages as in a testimony of longevity of the nature that has never failed to display its greatness. The breeze coming from the sea is summoning you to join the good spirit of the playful waves sending you messages of relaxation and peaceful times. It is time to get your wedding started, in a couple of weeks this beach will host your wedding reception. You take a look at the place, while lying down on the sands and try to imagine how everything will turn out to be. You feel the sun caressing your skin, and closing your eyes you put your head down to get a closer touch to the sands, this sands which will be the floor of your wedding reception hall, which will sink the steps of your invitees while dancing and partying.

Everything has been taken care of, the last details have been carefully considered, but yet the problem of your wedding cake is still bugging you. You have been talking over and over again on this topic, and haven’t reached a final conclusion. Your hubby thought of a decoration for your beach wedding cake to include something connected to the spirit of summer time on the beach, some kind of a floral decoration with palm trees and a replica of the sands to be made as cake icing. Your opinion is a bit different, you have seen some wedding cakes in the windows of a bakery shop in the area, cakes to include motifs of the sea, with shells, sea horses, sea stars, and they looked rather pretty. Not to mention that these decorations could be edible, whereas those that belong to your hubby’s choice were plastic made and couldn’t even confer the aspect of something fresh or natural.

You could have opted of course for floral decorations, but again, these flowers could have been silk made, considering the heat in the air that sooner or later would have wilted the freshness of the natural flowers. Suffice to say that the flowers you have chosen for your bridal bouquet and the ones to decorate the table centerpiece were silk made, you wanted now to select something that speaks in the same language with the theme of the wedding; the beach theme. You both love sea, the spirit it represents in its way of offering itself to the humans, and the symbols to belong to its depths would be a better choice for the cake of your reception.

Decorating your beach wedding cake with sea motifs can be seen as an aim to understand and appreciate at the same time, the pieces of tokens that the sea in its nobility is offering to us. Beside that, the sea motifs are the closest relation that a cake decoration could display while being introduced to the reception table; also the symbol of cake cutting that carries the meaning of sharing and supporting could confer in this way a fusion of your spirit with the deep mysteries of the sea which have the shapes of those edible beautifully created decorations – sea shells, sea stars, sea horses. It seems that this final argument of yours determines in the end your husband to agree with your choice, praising your way of perceiving the things in a manner that he would have never perceived. But again, this is one of the reasons he proposed you, after all.
