An Alice in Wonderland cake is one of the most fun and fabulous cake themes to work on but also one of the most challenging, testing a decorator’s design skills, modelling skills, cake construction and technical skills.
Update: See our collection of Alice in Wonderland Cake Tutorials here.
This week we have a selection of some of the best and most magical Alice cakes created by international cake designers and decorators.
First up is an exquisite Alice in Wonderland cake by Cakes by Christine NY, created for a Mad Hatter tea party (image above by Story by Mia Photography). Alice cakes are usually designed with bold striking colours but Cakes by Christine have adapted the theme beautifully in a fabulous pastel colour palette.
Alice in Wonderland has become a popular theme for weddings and below, we have two unique designs by Sweet and Saucy Shop (left) and the The Hazelnut Bakery (right) with an understated, subtle nod to the Lewis Carroll tale.
The story of Alice and and one of its other leading character, the Mad Hatter, are two very versatile cake themes that work for lots of occasions and celebration types. Below, we have a stunning interpretation of the theme by the Riviera Couture Cake Company in an elegant antique style paired with soft pastels.
