Pearls And Wedding Cake
What kind of bride doesn't just love pearls? Classic, feminine, and luminous, a pearl necklace and earrings on the bride simply radiates good taste. This same concept can be applied to the wedding cake. Edible “pearls” are a gorgeous decorative element for an elegant white cake. Take a look at all of the different ways to decorate your wedding cake with pearls.
Randomly scattered and encrusted pearls about the wedding cake is a perfect design for the bride who likes to have her pearl necklace in a modern twist. Larger pearls resting gently on smooth fondant are scattered from top to bottom on a three tiered cake. Have the pearls be denser on the top tier, and get more scattered as they fall down towards the bottom layer of the cake. An opalescent powder on the pearls will give them a beautiful radiance, just like real pearls. For a winter wedding and just in general a pretty variation of this is to mix and match white pearls with silver ones made with sugar.
Placing edible pearls along the base of each tier of the wedding cake to create rows is a very feminine way to decorate a wedding cake. It will appear as though the baker of the wedding cake has layed across each layer of the cake a pearl necklace. You can frost the wedding cake in a different color than the pearls to make them stand out. Colors that work very well include mint green, bably blue, lilac, and pink. Top the cake with a giant frosting “bow” with streamers cascading down the tiers. This type of design is one that is simple and yet has lots of style. This type of wedding cake would be ideal for a spring or summer wedding during the afternoon time.
Wedding cakes inspired by the bride's gown and pearl necklace are always special. Incredibly beautiful and subtle all at once, a lace patterned cake designed in ivory on white is wonderful. Make it even more special by using edible pearls like beading on the frosting lace design, just like a real bridal gown might have. Another beautiful idea for a decorative design is to have a row of pearls run down the front of the cake creatikng a string of "pearl buttons". It is lovely couture detail, one that you might find on a designer bridal gown. For the cake topper, consider a standing custom monogram made from faux pearls.
You can also use edible pearls to design a geometric pattern on a wedding cake. When made with small faux pearls instead of flat dots, a classic swiss dot design would be beautiful. It is a special detail which will add dimension and interest to the cake. You can top the wedding cake with sugar blossoms to mimic lilacs or peonies because swiss dot is lovely for spring. You can add a ribbon to each tier of the wedding cake in the same color as the flowers on top to add more color to the wedding cake. What a stunning cake this would be for a bride wearing a dotted organza bridal gown with pearl earrings! Edible pearls can also be used like a form of punctuation for a pattern. At the junction of each quilted diamond, you can create a Chanel-inspired guilted cake in ballet pink fondant with tiny white pearls. Top it off with pale pink and black anemone blossoms, or a single oversized black camellia blossom made from gum paste (the camellia was Coco Chanel's signature flower, of course).
When you want to add a gracious design element to your wedding cake, you simply cannot go wrong with edible pearls. They are elegant, classic, pretty, and very bridal. A pearl covered wedding cake is one that will definitely add style and grace to any wedding reception.
