\"ruffle<\/a><\/p>\n

When frills and ruffles first emerged as a major design trend in wedding cake decorating, designers took care not to go too over the top with the “frou-frou”. Beautiful frilled confections were dressed with a single, statement flower or an elegant, elevated floral arrangment.<\/p>\n

But with wedding floristry trends embracing organic, natural garden style wedding flowers, cake designers are no longer holding back. Intricately frilled wedding cake designs are lavished with lush garden flowers this season for some of the romantic wedding cake creations you can imagine.<\/p>\n

Maggie Austin’s<\/a> sumptuous frilled wedding cake above is dressed with vintage style garden roses in soft blush – the perfect wedding cake design to complement the exquisite Suzanne Harward<\/a> couture ruffle gown (left).<\/p>\n

Leaves, foliage and greenery all deftly created in gumpaste are the hallmark of the move towards more botanical wedding cake styling with another of Maggie Austin’s almost “straight from the garden” style floral wedding cakes below left, and a multi-layered ultra romantic creation from Sugar Art by Susan Garfield<\/a>, on the right.<\/p>\n
