The wedding cake is a chance to add some individuality to the day. Generally, anything goes nowadays, as long as the choice fits the theme and style of the wedding.

Some couples decide to stay traditional, others opt for something novelty. A white finish will always look elegant, but more unusual choices will be a talking point for guests. It is also  popular to choose a non-traditional cake that can be served as pudding.
