Tropical theme wedding cake

With a tropical wedding theme, your wedding will be one that everyone will enjoy and remember forever. You can decorate your wedding cake in a tropical theme that will compliment the wedding setting.

In the Caribbean the wedding cake is usually made from fruit, these cakes are often dark and decorated with dried fruits. These cakes can be flavored with rum, wine and sherry.

In Bermuda, it is traditional to place cedar saplings on top of the wedding cakes which symbolizes a growing love between the newly weds. The saplings are then replanted after the ceremony.

If you are having more than one tier, consider having each tier a different flavor.

  • Use blue swirls of gel to create waves rising up the sides of each tier.

  • Molded edible shells and miniature tropical fruit can be made from marzipan.

  • Royal icing can be piped onto the cake to look like a net with shells inside.

  • Use a bamboo mat to decorate the top of the cake table.

  • Use leaves and tie these into bows which can then be used to decorate the cake table.

  • Use toasted, grated coconut on white butter cream icing to create a sandy look.

  • Have the cake made into the shape of a sand castle and decorate it with edible seashells and star fish.

  • Decorate a cake with fresh hibiscus flowers.

  • Orchids can cascade from the top of a tiered cake.

  • Sugar plumerias flowers could be scattered freely on the cake and around the cake table.

  • Fresh or hand crafted flowers can form draping leis around each tier. 

  • Larger tropical flowers such as bird of paradise could be added to fresh-flower holders in between the tiers. Make sure that the flowers or stems with toxins are not in direct contact with your cake.
