The Main Display

Your cake table is a source of pride on your big day, beckoning guests to come and admire the coveted dessert before you and your new spouse slice into it together. These days, cakes are ever more in the limelight with so many creative touches that make them standout as true works of art. So why not put them on the pedestal they deserve? Here’s some tips from Cake Affairs & Culinary Creations on how to make the most of your sweet eats.

Color coordinate: It’s the easiest way to make an impactive statement. You can combine all your desserts into one table, or simply place a color-coordinated candy bar behind or next to your wedding cake. Just keep everything within a few ranges of the same shade and you’re set.




Add drama: Cake stands are a wonderful way to create drama to your table. They aren’t just reserved for cakes either. Place other desserts, like cookies, cupcakes, fudge, brownies and more, atop cake stands of varying height for added effect. For a darker look, use deeper tones and for a carefree result, stick with all whites and ivories.




Simple works: If the cake is your main attraction and you want to keep it that way, there’s no reason you have to have an elaborate setup to support it. Let the tiers do the “talking” and keep the backdrop simple with floral arrangements or simply your glasses of Champagne.
