Multicultural Wedding Cakes

Isn't this such a fun wedding cake? The couple wanted to incorporate their different cultural background into the cake. The bride is from Hong Kong which is the flag design on the bottom tier. The groom is Portuguese and Korean which is the flags design on the next two tiers. And a gumpaste Canadian Flag on top.

They also have a love for pandas which was the sugarpaste topper. I also made these panda cupcakes for her bridal shower a few months back.
Continuing on the theme of multicultural cakes - I made this cake for Korean and Scottish couple. The cake topper was my favourite which also matched a pattern on their takeaways. I made his Scottish Tartan out of gumpaste and also the Luckenbooth brooch which is a Scottish love token.

The last cultural cake is actually the first wedding cake I ever designed, sketched out and made. It was a few years back for my Cake Decorating III class at George Brown. I love looking back at my older cake photos. :-)

    These wedding cakes are too cute and I simply love the culturally inspired design. I would recommend these cakes for anyone looking for a little extra pizazz!

    Gorgeous.
