cakes including pastel hues like lilac and baby pink. "When designing wedding cakes, I like to give clients options for different tiered cakes, ranging from some simple design options to more elaborate ones. However, most customers like to have flowers on their wedding cakes, with custom cake toppers. Of course, we make a lot of wedding cakes with macarons too - that’s the signature of Le15. " But, what truly matters more is the flavour of the cake! "Chocolate-based cakes are always popular, either plain chocolate or a hazelnut crunch. A vanilla cake with a berry jam is also something that’s popular."
The Dessert Bar
Chef Clément Nadeau, Chef sucré international at Ladurée, is a true visionary in the world of culinary artistry. For him, a dessert bar is a haven. Owing to his French roots, the chef told The Style List that a farandole of desserts still wins most of our hearts. However, one of the most popular desserts if you're having a wedding in France ought to be croquembouches.
Dhingra likes to curate a dessert bar with different textures and flavours....some tarts, verrines, macarons, cupcakes, cake pops, and more! "I like to work with a variety of flavours, but also ones I know you can’t go wrong with. Something like chocolate is universally loved - but I like to combine that with things like hazelnuts, salted caramel, passionfruit, or a strawberry/raspberry jam."
The bottom line? There's nothing quite like a visually appealing wedding cake and dessert bar for your nuptials.
