But one that we&#8217;re already in love with is the deconstructed wedding cake.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84178\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84178\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-84178\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ddj_S-iWsAA_G7k.jpg\" alt=\"deconstructed wedding cake\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84178\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via @KensingtonRoyal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>The details<\/h3>\n<p>Made and designed by baker Claire Ptak from Violet Cakes the deconstructed design featured three separate parts elegantly displayed on golden stands and chalices.<\/p>\n<p>The first feature was a two-tiered cake, with a single height resting on a double height. The second piece was a double height and the third was another single height, both of different inch sizes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84180\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84180\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-84180\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Capture21.jpg\" alt=\"deconstructed wedding cake\" width=\"383\" height=\"479\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84180\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via @violetcakeslondon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Its simple white design, decorated with the palest of pink florals and teeniest amount of greenery, was perfectly executed and gave a gorgeous, romantic feel to the design. Plus the sponge cake was formulated specifically for Harry and Meghan and featured elderflower syrup made from the elderflower trees at The Queen&#8217;s Sandringham Estate, so there was a lovely personal touch for the couple.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84179\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84179\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-84179\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Capture2.jpg\" alt=\"deconstructed wedding cake\" width=\"479\" height=\"481\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84179\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via @violetcakeslondon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>The trend<\/h3>\n<p>We love how the deconstructed cake could be designed with different features. From differing flavours in each tier to gluten-free options for those with dietary requirements, it&#8217;s the perfect versatile option.<\/p>\n<p>For those thinking that three separate tiers could look messy, think again. The different heights, inch designs and presentation of flowers or toppers make what could look like a mish-mash of shapes one of the most elegantly designed royal wedding cakes we&#8217;ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>Plus a deconstructed cake can turn your dessert table into even more of a grand feature with\u00a0the separate features bringing more grandeur to the tablespace by simply taking up more room than a traditional wedding cake.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84181\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84181\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-84181\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"deconstructed wedding cake\" width=\"384\" height=\"479\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via @violetcakeslondon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>The reason<\/h3>\n<p>One big thing we&#8217;re noticing lately is the less-is-more trend when it comes to weddings.
