A single-tier cake may be all you need to add a touch of sweetness to your special day. If you’re not interested in indulging in double or triple layers when it comes to your wedding cake, you may find a single-tier is more than enough and can be just as elaborate and decadent as its multi-layered counterparts.

Roses and figs

We find it difficult to resist a ganache and fig cake adorned with fresh white roses and supple fig halves? An elegant cake indeed!

Pearl couture

Non-traditional shapes such as cubes can throw a twist into the cake mix, (pardon the pun), and interesting embellishments such as this cake beaded with pearls of frosting can enhance the theme of innovation and unique design.

A sweet naked cake topped with fresh blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and plums, is a rustic look which will suit any climate, whether it be a balmy outdoor wedding or a frosty winter celebration.
