Wedding Cakes by Lindy Smith of Lindy's Inspirational Cakes Ltd Designing and creating cakes is Lindy's passion however due her book writing and teaching commitments she is no longer able to accept individual commissions. Please use these pages to see what is possible with cake and sugar!   Designs: Lindy's aim has always been to create wedding cakes that are different - Something that today's discerning bride is often searching for. There are countless design possibilities, so let Lindy inspire you!! Tall Elegant Wedding Cakes: For a really stunning centrepiece, these cakes have a certain WOW factor. They  are also ideal where the wedding breakfast is to be held in a room with a high ceiling or in a large marquee, as their size and detailed decoration ensures that they are noticed. The contemporary metalwork separators used are designed by Lindy herself and handcrafted for her.

Contemporary Wedding Cakes: For those wanting a very modern contemporary look to their special cake. Be adventurous and opt for the highly sought after personalised 'wonky' wedding cake,  alternatively add a touch of glamour and sparkle by incorporating Lindy's handcrafted cake jewellery into your design. Another contemporary idea is to opt for an elegant column cake.

A column cake is basically a number of cakes of the same size stacked on top of one another and then decorated. They can be left fairly simple, decorated with flowers or, as shown here decorated with feathers, beads and wire scrolls which are all currently being used by florists in bridal bouquets. Character Wedding Cakes: These cakes usually have the mini figures replicas of the bride and groom on their wedding day as the main focus. To see more examples of character wedding cakes click here Bride and Groom Cake toppers: The figures are made from a modelling medium which can be kept as a long-lasting memento of your special day. The cake toppers were created working from photographs of the bride and groom together with dress, hair and floral details.

Asian Wedding Cakes: Although not traditional, it is becoming increasingly popular to have a wedding cake at Asian wedding celebrations. So why not have the cake designed to suit the occasion. The example on the left was designed by taking patterns and colours from the bride's wedding outfits and using them to create a truly Asian cake. The example on the right was for a much smaller celebration where the bride required a more stylised form of pattern. Are you an adventurous contemporary bride? If so why not opt for a truly personalised ‘wonky’ cake, as shown in the example above, where each tier reflected part of the couples lives. Please visit the ‘wonky’ wedding cakes page for more examples. Suitcase Wedding Cakes: Ideal for a couple who are getting married abroad and having a reception once they return home or those who do a lot of travelling for either work or pleasure.

If you are searching for ideas you'll find many more examples of Lindy's novelty cakes  on her gallery page and the links to her book pages This cake was designed and made for an English couple who lived and worked in South Africa.
