How to incorporate a travel theme into your wedding cake

Q – I want to incorporate our love of travelling into our wedding cake. Do you have any ideas of how we can do this?

"Think about what it is you love about travelling? It could be the long days lazing on a beach with the sun beating down, the places you have visited around the world or simply packing those suitcases ready for a new adventure.

"To celebrate and share your love of travel, you could opt for a trio of suitcases with references to your favourite places or decorate the tiers with a world map.

"To share your love of summer days, you could opt for a watercolour design with bright and bold summer blooms or perhaps a beach theme evoking a sense of distant shores.

"If you have your heart set on a traditional bake, why not add a travel-themed topper such as a compass or small globe?

"Lastly, if you have a moodboard depicting your ideas and love of travel, share it with your cake decorator."
