The Search for the Perfect Wedding Cake
...and why it’s more than just dessert.
Let’s be honest—there’s something a little magical about wedding cake. Maybe it’s the towering tiers, the velvet frosting, or the way it sits there like the final exhale of the night, waiting to be cut and celebrated.
But finding the cake? That’s a journey. And not just any journey—the kind that starts with sugar, ends in sentiment, and takes a few delicious detours along the way.
So… where do you start?
At MFPC weddings, we always tell our couples the same thing: start with how you want it to feel. Do you dream of a grand, baroque-style moment—think intricate piping, pearls, gold foil, and a cake knife that looks like it could open a letter from a duchess? Or are you all about the modern cool—something minimal, sharp, and maybe even black (yes, we’ve done it and yes, it was iconic)?
Flavour is personal, not political.
One of our brides once had three tiers: lemon poppyseed, dark chocolate with espresso buttercream, and vanilla bean with fresh strawberries. Her reasoning? “I want the cake to taste like a European summer holiday.” We were sold.
Because the truth is, your cake should taste like you. Whether that’s nostalgic (hello, grandma’s sponge), daring (fig and balsamic, anyone?), or classic (can’t go wrong with vanilla), let’s make it yours.
Form meets function meets fantasy.
Some cakes are tall and traditional. Others are sculptural, like art on a pedestal. Then there’s the cake table itself—wrapped in tulle, sprinkled in petals, or surrounded by tapered candles and wild lemons (hello, D&G fantasy).
Pro tip from our stylists: The cake table is a styling moment. Don't let it sit sad in the corner—give it the stage it deserves.
Our secret recipe for a dreamy cake journey:
Tasting sessions that feel like wine tastings (minus the tannins, plus the sugar rush)
Moodboard the cake like you would the dress
Style it like a centrepiece
Serve it like a love letter—personal, sweet, and beautifully told
In the end, the “perfect” wedding cake isn’t about perfection at all. It’s about flavour, feeling, and a moment that tastes like you. And we’ll be there to help you find it—forks ready.
