Bespoke Wedding Cakes, Aren’t They All?

By Staci Dunn, Cake Lady Custom Cakes

Bespoke is something done specifically for a particular person, think custom details. When planning a wedding there are so many areas you can go bespoke, but the good news is that when you’re talking cake, you’re almost always automatically going to get a bespoke cake, if you are not purchasing a cake from a chain store, that is.

At our bakery, for example, every cake is a bespoke cake. It’s all about details, details, details. Wedding cakes should meet several criteria, in my humble opinion. Wedding cakes should be beautiful and taste delicious, first and foremost. But, they should also represent the couple. It should tell “their” story.

Now, I’m certainly not saying that a beautiful “traditional” wedding cake is not a wonderful option; however, I love the cakes that have a touch of something that identifies them as a as a couple. For example, we have created many cakes that have the family dog somewhere on the cake, peeking out or sneaking a bite. Or toppers that have an element of fun, such as “The Hunt is Over” for a couple who enjoy that sport. There are infinite ideas for bespoke cakes. We have done scuba diving wedding cakes, cakes with handmade, edible marbles for a couple that were soil scientists who met on a test site where the soil kept popping up marbles. We have done many Leggo wedding cakes and ‘80s themes, as well as many other unique and personal and custom ideas.

When it comes to wedding cakes, there are no rules, except to be what the couple wants! Plus, delicious and beautiful.
