Wedding cakes bring a great deal of happiness and delight along with them to everyone who lays an eye upon them. After all, a child is always excited about the shape and color of his or her birthday cake each year. A wedding comes only once, so imagine all that excitement and thrill of childhood concentrated into one event and then multiplied by about two hundred times. That is the effect created by the guests gathered at the wedding, all visibly palpable in their curiosity to see how the wedding cake turns out to be. Here in this entry, we discuss about one such wedding cake type which captures the magic of being a child. Here we will talk about some amazing dragon cake designs.
You may incorporate dragons in a number of ways in your wedding cake. Let us take them one at a time-
Fairy tale Dragon Wedding Cake
This is a wonderful wedding cakes where you may employ a cake designer to recreate a dragon from your childhood fantasies. The scaly fire-breathing dragon of fairy stories makes for a visually striking addition to the wedding cake. For example, picture this—
A snowy white two tier cake, with a similarly pristine, ivory castle rising from the top tier of the cake. And at the base of the top tier, scaling the cake and inching towards the castle, what do you see but a wonderful majestic dragon- created painstakingly scale to scale from marzipan or hardened sugar. The color of the dragon may easily vary according to your choice. It could be an emerald green, an electric blue, or a chocolaty brown (whatever best suits the color code of the cake). You may also make other additions to the cake like growing vines along the side at the base of a castle (created by icing through a piping bag), a prince and princess cake topper (or a princess and a knight). I have seen a couple of dragon themed cakes successfully recreating themes from movies like Shrek and Sleeping Beauty with a flourish of splendor and boundless imagination. Perfect if you are tired of the formal monotony attached to the other wedding aspects and want a change when it comes to the wedding cake.
Wedding Cake Dragon Topper
If you are a little short on cash but still want to have a dragon inspired wedding cake, there is a wonderful solution to satisfy your desire. You may not really get a cake design to build a scaly dragon for you, but you may just purchase a ferocious dragon cake topper just for the event. There are a plethora of glint eyed, luridly colored, talon wielding, miniature versions of the fire spouting reptiles. Get one which you like, perch it on top of a simple wedding cakes and at the dragon's feet, you may place the wedding ring set of the bride and groom's rings for maximum effect.
