Autumn Wedding Cake

Although spring has traditionally been a time when couples get married, many couples choose autumn weddings. To these couples, they see autumn as a time of unparalleled beauty and wonder. They enjoy the riches and abundance of fall and imagine that it brings forth wealth and prosperity. They marvel at the crisp air and promise of a crackling fire built to drive them closer and love the fiery display of maples as the beautiful red and orange leaves fall to the ground. To them, autumn symbolizes a triumphant new beginning. A precious time when their lives will intertwine and they’ll become one. So, if you’re planning an autumn wedding then that is absolutely wonderful. The key is to now choose a cake that is worthy of this magnificent time of year. In this article, we’ll discuss the autumn wedding cake and how you can make your spectacular!

When it comes to flavors for your autumn wedding cake, you might want to stay with seasonal ingredients, at least for some of the layers. Think pumpkin, with the warm rich spices associated with the traditional pie. Maple is another well loved flavor that evokes crisp fall days and sunny walks in the crunchy leaves. Carrot cake is a favorite any time of year, but seems especially appropriate in the fall. Any or all of these flavors can be alternated with the traditional white cake or chocolate.

Those who choose to marry in the fall have a wonderful, rich palette to choose from when it comes to decorating the cake. The topper on the cake could be a cornucopia, or horn of plenty, with marzipan fruits and nuts spilling out of it. Other seasonal toppers might be a collection of pumpkins, a scarecrow, corn sheaves, or the couple themselves dressed for fall in plaid and fleece. Nature's display of richly colored leaves can be an inspiration for the frosting, with the fall colors taking center stage. Imagine a rich golden or pumpkin colored cake with leaves scattered all over in the colors of fall: brown, gold, burgundy, deep red and rust, bright yellow, and orange. The deep brown of chocolate as the main color with scattered gold and burgundy flowers would be breathtaking.

Certainly there's no dearth of ideas for the couple who chooses an autumn wedding. It can be more breathtakingly beautiful than a spring wedding when you make full use of the richness of fall and signify your love and uniqueness with an autumn wedding cake.
