Gothic wedding cakes

Wedding are supposed to be beautiful and white moments that a bride and a groom never forget. But, there are many couples that want to have a different wedding day according to their passions. So, they choose for their wedding a theme that represents their historic personalities.




In this article I will focus on Gothic influences and Gothic wedding theme. For those persons who decided to get married and want to have gothic decorations to their wedding I will enumerate some aspects that defines very well the Gothic period. So, the influences are: skulls, skeletons, archways, stones, towers, gargoyles, fairy figure, dragons, cross, ankh, crypts, and druidic symbols. You must take into account the fact that I try to give you gothic ideas especially for your wedding cake and wedding cake topper.

I advice you to find a great baker that could design a wedding cake in order to have the form of a Gothic castle. Also, the gothic effect can be obtained with medieval crosses of different dimensions and different colors. Concerning the colors you can use for a gothic wedding cake, you should know that dark colors are the most suitable. The colors I advice you to use are: dark red, burgundy, navy blue or black. It is possible to have some problems with your guests` teeth because a black butter cream is very unusual and you should ask your baker for some options you have in order to avoid these kinds of problems.

Not many people choose a Gothic wedding cake and not many decorators know how to make such a wedding cake. So, if you have friends that have a Gothic wedding theme, ask to give you the address of their wedding cake decorator. If you have never heard of such a decorator, I will give you some examples of wedding cake. First, I advice you choose a simple Gothic Rose Cake. If you have a family with traditional ideas, please do not insist to enjoy your wedding theme. A simple gothic rose wedding cake is a beautiful choice because it has only dark roses as gothic element and the cake base could be white or black. I will prefer a white base. It is absolutely fantastic…white with dark red roses. There are many pictures on internet and you can show to your decorator the model you want. Nowadays, everything is possible! Also, for a macabre aspect, you can choose dried or dead roses for both the wedding cake and bride bouquet.

Another possible choice is the Blood Red Wedding Cake and the ideas are: choose a white base with red dark fondant dripping on sides of the cake, or choose dark red fondant covered wedding cake with black butter cream piping.

It is very beautiful to create a Gothic atmosphere to your wedding party, but do not exaggerate. Put small details on everything and you will really be admired. Do not choose violent elements that could let a bad impression to some guests that do not are familiar to modern wedding themes.
