Decorations on cake

The best cake to photograph is the one that sparkles. Usually a cake needs to be very bold —way bolder than many couples first thought. But don’t underestimate the power of the flour and icing! Awesome things are created out of the humble ingredients. Some icing flowers and leaves are traditional. Making marzipan fruit was a classic style of the middle ages. With a large number of cake classes being available within Melbourne, these are things you can learn to do by yourself easily as well in your spare time.
Actually, not all of the cake has to be edible. On the other hands, you can have beads or crystals hanging off the cake, or accentuate it with a right stand. A stand at the top of the cake is truly classic. Many clients love to keep it as a souvenir. You can also complement your cake with different kinds of flowers and fruit. And the edible flowers don’t even need to be taken off. – Melbourne wedding photography

Placing the Cake

It is very important that where to place the cake in the room. To showcase it as best you can, place it on your bridal table, or somewhere central of the room, rather than hide it in a corner. At Duuet we usually recommend elevating the wedding cake at least slightly, but some couples choose to lift it more, they want to create a very dramatic image. Consider how busy the image is — don’t forget that you will also be at the bridal table — which will make the area very crowded. As a rule, the more features a wedding cake has, the plainer a background should be, and vice versa. What’s more, a flower arrangement will be very beautiful, but remember not to overpower the cake. – Melbourne wedding photography
