Ocean Theme Wedding Cakes
Delicious Ocean Theme Wedding Cakes
A wedding with an ocean theme is a tranquil event. Just like the
ocean, an ocean theme wedding cake should be overwhelmingly
beautiful in a non-dramatic way. Ocean theme wedding cakes can take
several forms.
The decor should never be overpowering however and
should give off a sense of simple beauty. Try these decorative cake
ideas to transform your wedding cake into an ocean theme cake.
A great way to include an ocean look in your wedding cake is to use
brown sugar icing. Crystallized brown sugar is not only tasty but it
also makes your cake take on a sandy look. This type of icing works
best with vanilla or spice flavored cakes. It is also a good idea to
use several single layer cakes placed on platforms of different
heights for this look.
Using the brown sugar on a traditional styled
wedding cake is a bit over the top, so breaking the layers up
visually creates a simpler look. Try plain platforms or even large
shell shaped dishes to display the cakes.
Seashells are also great cake accessories and are easy to use when
decorating an ocean theme wedding cake. Seashells look great on a
traditional tiered wedding cake. Simply add seashells all around
each tier to get this beach look. To finish, try using a conk shell
as your cake topper.
For a more modern look, try making each tier a
different color. The best colors to use for this theme are ivory,
beige, gray, sea green, or shades of blue. As long as you keep the
colors in the same family, you should be successful.
Dolphins are beautiful ocean creatures that work well for wedding
decor. Their natural elegance adds grace to decor. For a feminine
look to an ocean cake, try adding dolphin accessories. Silver
dolphin statues work great not only for layer decor but also for
cake toppers. For an interesting twist, try having your cake
designer create dolphin outlines with silver edible beads on the
sides of your cake. It creates a beautiful ocean theme cake.
Another appropriate ocean cake accessory is a boat. Sailboats are a
contemporary way to add the theme to your cake. Topping your cake
with a miniature sailboat is a fantastic idea. For an added touch,
add red, yellow, and navy triangles to the sides of the cake. Faux
roping draped around the sides of the cake is also a fun way to add
a sailing touch. This nautical cake fits perfectly into the ocean
theme wedding.
Ocean theme wedding cakes can reflect whatever aspect of the ocean
the couple is drawn to. Whether it is the sea animals such as the
dolphins or the sport of sailing, the couple can share their ocean
interests with their guests through the wedding cake.
Using simple
decorative accents and colors any cake can be transformed into an
ocean theme wedding cake. So, pick your favorite trait of the ocean
and elaborate on it with your wedding cake decor.
