How to incorporate a boho theme into your wedding cake

Q – We’re having a boho-themed wedding and would love to incorporate our theme into our cake. Do you have any ideas?

"The first type of bake that comes to mind when thinking of a relaxed boho theme is a buttercream coated cake. Semi-naked and rough-iced buttercream cakes look casual and would suit your theme perfectly. Opt for a creation that’s stacked high and covered in flowers. Roses, berries, cornflowers and chrysanthemums will make a big impact. Your chosen supplier will ensure that the blooms are safe and can come into direct contact with food.

"Pressed, dried flowers arranged around the cake and dried arrangements are new trends that are quickly becoming more popular.

"Other ways to incorporate your theme is to take details from your dress and have them recreated in sugar. Fringing and/or embroidery can be used to create a bespoke design."
