Inspired by the base tier arrangement of the royal wedding cake of the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge, petal shaped wedding cakes have made a huge comeback in cake design. No longer a throwback to 1980’s style sugarcraft, cake design couturiers, Peggy Porschen & Faye Cahill have made petal shaped cake tiers ultra stylish again showcasing stately wedding cake designs on petal shaped base tiers for the ultimate in wedding cake grandeur.
