I am always on the lookout for the latest and greatest in wedding cake trends, and let me tell you, Italian wedding cakes are having a moment – and it’s a moment filled with drama, fun, and incredible flavour! Forget everything you thought you knew about traditional tiered cakes, because these showstoppers are all about making a statement with a single, magnificent tier.
Inspired by the classic Italian "millefoglie" wedding cake, which traditionally features delicate layers of puff pastry and whipped cream, we've put our own spin on this delicious concept. While whipped cream is great, but it can bring with it a few food safety headaches, especially if you want your beautiful cake on display for a while, or if your big day happens to be a scorcher. That's why we create our Italian-style wedding cakes with delicious layers of actual cake layered with buttercream, just like our tiered cakes. This means you get all the grandeur and visual impact of the millefoglie, but with the peace of mind that your cake will look and taste perfect until you’re ready for that eagerly anticipated cutting moment.
The best part? You're not limited on flavour! Any of our fantastic cake flavours that you'd choose for a traditional tiered cake will work beautifully in this style. From classic Vanilla and Raspberry to Banoffee cake, the possibilities are endless. And when it comes to presentation, we take care of everything. I’ll personally set up your stunning cake in its perfect position, right down to the last perfectly placed raspberry, so it’s ready and waiting to wow your guests.
You can opt for hundreds of orderly, carefully placed raspberries across the top like this one, or a more whimsical scattering of different fruits and even delicate edible flowers.
These magnificent cakes can be crafted up to a generous 22 inches in diameter, capable of yielding over 300 finger portions – perfect for even the grandest of celebrations! So, if you're looking for a wedding cake that combines timeless elegance with a modern, dramatic flair, an Italian wedding cake might just be your perfect match.
