A typical Kenyan wedding needs to have good food and most importantly have a tasty cake during the wedding reception. For this reason, it is important to give your guests a cake to remember, from the design, color and the taste. Considering your guests and their tastes is first important, in terms of using natural sugar, that is limited, or having everybody eat sweet cakes. Here is how you could add African touch to your wedding cake.

Toppings

  • Having the main wedding cake with African customized topping would be the perfect touch to your cake. This will include a similar picture of what your partner and you really are. The main feature involves a black couple, unlike the usual western topping with a white couple. However, you may add in a little touch of a western touch, if it happens to be the main theme in your wedding. Pearls, an arch and some roses added to the base of your topping. This will make the cake have an elegant look, attractive and leave all the single ladies wishing for a cake like yours. The toppings also will range, since the market provides for a wide variety. You may have your topping African, and at the same time sexy too.

African Designs

  • The décor on your cake will suggest the theme of your wedding, weather African or western. You may have a choice to have your cake with a flavor you like but get African decor. This will include the shape in which the cake is built. For majority, a guard, African hut or pot may be the shapes preferred. This will be followed by décor being done in African suggestive colors that mainly include shades of brown, green, and at times orange. The typical African wedding cake will incorporate more, by the way you would like to customize them. This is possible through having some drawings from the nature in Africa.

Custom Flavors

  • A wedding cake can be interesting as long as you have the talk on how you want talk it out with your wedding planner. The invitees are your friends and relatives so knowing what they enjoy is easy and be a treat to them. You may be required to have several cakes depending on the number of guests attending the wedding, and have various cake flavors. You may have some of the cakes made from a special family recipe, adding on to the flavors of your wedding cakes. The two families whose children are marrying have to receive a cake each, thus the need to have several cakes. You may also have a choice in variety and choose to have each cake with a design and flavor.

You have what you need in order to get the best cake for your wedding. One more thing is for the profession of either the partners. You may have the cake in a style suggestive, for instance a football shirt shaped cake for a player, a guitar for a musician. This might also apply for cases where your passion is involved.
