From booking the venue to choosing the rings, and making a guest list to booking music entertainment, it seems like a never ending list.
As well as these important tasks, there is also the wedding cake to think about.
Wedding cakes are an important and often memorable part of any wedding celebration. The perfect wedding cake should not only look beautiful, but also taste delicious.
There are a wide variety of cake recipes to choose from, including classic white cake, rich chocolate cake, and light and fluffy sponge cake.
And, whilst you can hire a professional to bake a wedding cake, it is possible to make a dream wedding cake yourself.
Whether you’re making it for your special day or someone else’s, the wedding cake is a key aspect of a wedding day. It can symbolize many things in different cultures and traditions, such as unity.
The cutting of the cake represents a couple’s sharing their lives together and its round shape can also symbolize fertility.
In some cultures, the cake is believed to bring a couple good luck and prosperity during their marriage.
Of course, a wedding cake needs to taste delicious too. And, that is where we come in. Today, we have gathered our favorite wedding cake recipes for you to make from scratch at home(see also: White Wedding Cake Recipe: Ideas For A Home Bake).
From buttery white cake recipes to chocolate wonders, we have recipes to please all palettes.
We start our list with this delectable hazelnut fudge cake that will wow anyone who tries it. This recipe allows you to make two nine or ten inch layers but, if that’s a bit too much, there is the option of making it an eight layer cake, too.
You just need to bake the layers for around half an hour longer or until the cake has sprung back after being pressed lightly in its center.
Another test is to place a toothpick into its center. If it comes out clean, your wedding cake is ready!
If you want something that is simple but bursting with delicious flavors, then this Passion fruit icebox cake is ideal for a wedding day!
With a soft, fluffy texture that is heavenly, this dessert will please each and every guest and, best of all, it is extremely cheap to make with only a few essential, simple ingredients needed.
Whilst it is small, it is ideal for a smaller wedding. But, although small in stature, it has six layers and is filled with passion fruit curd and delicious crème fraîche mousse. Simply divine!
From one perfectly textured wedding cake to another. This white almond sour cream wedding cake has a fluffy texture, but not so much that it breaks from the weight.
Many light cakes, such as this, can be overly dense but this recipe hits the sweet spot between soft and moist.
You can make this cake according to what size you prefer, such as 14-inch, 10-inch, or 6-inch baking pans.
Follow the recipe closely and you will end up with a sumptuous 3-inch deep cake that is succulent from the first mouthful to the last.
A white wedding cake is perfect for a traditional wedding. The color white is synonymous with weddings, particularly the bride, and a white wedding cake is the perfect way to celebrate such a special occasion.

Brush each layer of the cake and then apply a second coating before adding crumbs on top. This will make it one of the tastiest cakes you will ever try!
A wedding cake without icing? Are we mad? Nope! You don’t need icing when you can top your cake with elegant flowers instead. Naked cakes are a trend we can fully get behind.
