Tip for Wedding/Eid Cake
You can also personalize your wedding cake with the decorations you place on it. Fresh, fragrant garden flowers make lovely decorations, and can be matched to the wedding flowers. Porcelain decorations, his and her cake toppers, or beads make a statement and can create a very elegant appearance. Adorn the cake with an heirloom lace and fancy frosting ribbons for a sophisticated wedding cake.
A trick to creating a fancy wedding cake on your own is to use bunt cake pans, and layer several cakes on top of each other. Once you have a tall stack of layered cakes, cover all with frosting and place a vase in the centre of the cake (in the hole created by the bunt cake pans) and fill with beautiful flowers. The flowers will look like they are coming out of your cake!
