Welcome to The Wedding Cakes Recipe Database

We are pleased to have you visit our extensive database of wedding cake recipes.

We have endeavoured to find recipes that are cultural in nature and originate from specific countries. In that vein, we have contacted people in those regions and areas and asked their assistance in finding information directly relating to their culture.

In addition, the database provides recipes for wedding cakes prepared for parties and celebrations before the actual wedding reception. For example, bridal shower cakes are traditional and still remain a mainstay of most bridal shower gatherings. The groom’s cake is steeped in history as well and many recipes are offered for this tradition. Photo credit1022372_wedding_cake_51

As times change, so do traditions. For many reasons such as saving money, sticking to a budget, trying to be different and just plain moving away from tradition, many couples are looking for alternatives to the elaborate wedding cake. Equally as nice and sometimes just as elaborate are the beautifully decorated wedding cookies, mini tea cakes and wedding cupcakes. Thus, we have included recipes for these special wedding day treats.

Lastly, we know that your serving utensils are as important as your wedding cakes. Much thought is placed on choosing wedding cake cutters, knives, swords, serving platters, cake plates and wedding cake related accessories.

Wedding cake stands and servers are required and will depend on the size of the cake and whether you are serving  a full cake, mini cakes on cupcake trees or wedding cookies on  beautiful crystal platters.

Therefore, to assist  you in making these decisions, we have added a shopping area for you to browse and find the perfect utensils and serving ware for your special day.

We hope you enjoy this database and don’t forget before you leave to read the articles showing you:

how to save money,
how to cut the cake,
how to budget,
how to choose edible decorations,
how to choose an icing
and the list goes on ………….
