Like it has been said that a celebration without a cake is only quarter a celebration and we cannot stand without agreeing with it more. It might as well seem that the tradition of a wedding cake is from the west but not very long ago has it been accepted by the Indian masses as an essential segment of an Indian wedding celebration.
These days Indian marriage ceremonies and receptions are almost incomplete without the presence of the very extravagant wedding cake. Choosing a wedding is one of the most amusing parts of the wedding planning process. Finding the right bakery, the perfectly stunning design, managing the cost and timeline and a lot of other ancillaries would occupy you in a puddle of brain storming & selections. If you decide on a cake, there are more decisions than meets the eye in making sure that it’s exactly what it should be.
Currently, the market is flooded with west influenced designs & color schemes. It is not very hard to notice wedding cakes decorated in teal & pastel pinks, roses & carnations and ribbons & pearls at Indian weddings.
